In early 2011 when I told people I had an Android they had no clue what I was talking about. A well done long term investment in other phones could have made a big difference - but HP wasn't willing to make it so we will never know. (Microsoft released their Windows phone in 2012, again killing it before it took off).

That 2011 iPAQ has a Windows button. Wikipedia lists them as running "Windows Mobile".

    I may remember my dates wrong... Close enough for this discussion though.

      No, I think you're right. Wikipedia suggests that "Windows Phone" (the operating system) came out the following year, replacing Windows Mobile.
