Windows Mobile- I must say the no. of haters are rising. The latest speculated is Sony Ericsson that wants to shun away from this platform and support Android.

The CEO Nordberg seems doubtful of the three platform strategy(Windows, Android & Symbian) and wants to have more of Android. Look at what others have to say about the detachment:

Wood says,“What you’ll see is Nordberg trying to get some momentum around the Android proposition to get some mind share back to the Sony Ericsson brand, because that’s what it needs."

"It would seem strange if Sony Ericsson came out saying that they’re doing Android, and then in the next two quarters came back and said we are not going to do Android any more," said Milanesi adding that he has heard that SE may dump some of the platforms in near future.
