As opposed to the iPhone, on the Diamond you CAN start a third party application (although I hear the 3G iPhone will allow one single third party app to be run)

Going to have to agree with Hans Allis, the fact that it is built on top of WM bothers me a little. It remains to be seen whether all the animation/glitz is worth it though.

@Hans Allis: sounds like you are describing Windows and DOS…

Just found out today that my iPod (3) doesn’t match with a brand new BMW Mini Cooper!! When I use a non-usb cable (probably invented in 1897) it works, but now I can’t use the sexy (and expensive) controls on the steering wheel. Answer BMW: “Contact your dealer”. Is this planet earth and is this 2008?

Sure looks nice, but it’s still nothing more than a shell on top of windows mobile. If you choose to start a program that wasn’t designed to match this shell, you’ll be back to the awkward WM looks and the fun is gone. Building a new UI on top of old logic is okay and might very well be a wise decision, but building a new UI on top of an old one often leads to disappointment with the user.
