But why stop with simply eschewing the "finger friendly candy interfaces?" Real men doing real business don't want these babyed down, resource hogging, moronic graphical user interfaces either. For us, the only real options in the PIM space are DOS or tcsh!

But it's superior in enough ways that you don't see any mainstream computers sold today without a GUI OS. Likewise, the non-touch mobile OS field shrinks more and more every day.<BR><BR>I will bet you good money that WinMo 7 (or whatever they end up calling it) will be based around a touch interface. That leaves only RIM (which is already heading in the touch direction) and Symbian (which I have no clue what they are doing) as the last non-touch contenders.
