http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/12/500x_applenapping.jpg That's Microsoft UK executive Phil Moore speaking about the iPhone and his company's initial assclown reaction (http://gizmodo.com/5416765/top-5-assclowns-laughing-at-the-iphone-back-in-2007) thereof. Better late than never, Phil! The first step is admitting you have a problem. Now you just have to... uh... fix it.
Moore was speaking at the Connect! tech conference in London, where he also admitted that Microsoft is "still playing catch-up" with Apple. I guess that's true, in the way that Wile E. Coyote is still playing catch-up with the Road Runner. Windows Mobile 6.5 is a joke (http://gizmodo.com/5374876/windows-mobile-65-review-theres-no-excuse-for-this), and the punchline is that Windows Mobile 7 has just been pushed back until late next year (http://gizmodo.com/5424680/dont-wait-up-for-windows-mobile-7).
It's one thing to be caught napping, Microsoft. It doesn't excuse falling asleep at the wheel. [9to5Mac (http://www.9to5mac.com/microsoft_rim_apple_iphone_30195) via Cult of Mac (http://www.cultofmac.com/microsoft-admits-it-was-caught-napping-by-the-iphone/23466)]
