Story: Microsoft CTO lauds BlackBerry, iPod
Handheld devices must converge full PC functionality with phone technology. Carrying around a pda and a phone is just not acceptable. The demand is there otherwise there wouldn't be a pda market.

Getting an operating system on a high volume system such as mobiles will eventually influence choice on PCs.
