Which will never happen. In the mean time, MS needs to make sure that Bing Maps on WP is at least as good as on the PlayBook.

Admittedly, the WP experience for some other map based applications isn’t that good. It’s a pain having to use small +/- targets just to be able to zoom in, and on screen arrows to pan, while waiting for a refresh.

MS should have done a better job with IE on WP.

MS has muscled their way into a number of markets, never count them out.

No danger of that. WP was dead before conception.

Outlook > gmail … overall Microsoft’s live services are very good.

wp needs a native google maps app … it will be much better than having to go to their web based one.

Or just Outlook, Bing and Nokia maps.

There, problem solved and no need to worry about silly old Google!
