@tomwarren @leonzandman I still think the moment when Microsoft lost mobile was the moment Steve Ballmer laughed publicly (and, even worse, privately) at the iPhone and failed to call an emergency meeting to figure out how to respond. — PolitiTweet.org

@tomwarren @leonzandman You’re right about a lot of this but: again, you’re comparing prototype Android with shipping Windows Mobile. And all of it was about appealing to IT managers and techies, not consumers. Those were huge oversights, also shared by RIM. — PolitiTweet.org

@tomwarren @leonzandman A good question. I think that a huge factor was that Apple’s vertical integration model, which was trounced in PCs by MSFT’s paid software licensing model, turned out to work much better in the post-PC era. That, and Apple’s laser focus on consumers, not IT guys or carriers. — PolitiTweet.org
