No shit, sherlock.

“Problem is, the Windows user experience didn’t translate well to a small screen that uses a keyboard and/or stylus to navigate it.”

One of the areas Apple has excelled and what makes people who say the iPad is just a blown up iPhone sound so completely foolish: the experience is geared to the device and context of usage for that device. Consequently, all the software developed for that device has been thought about within the context of device usage. The Calendar on the iPhone is not the Calendar on the desktop and definitely not the calendar on the iPad, and so on. The whole need for the iBook app was derived from the device itself and how Apple sees the consumer using the device.

I don’t know much about Windows Mobile, having jumped from Palm OS to Blackberry to iPhone, but the quote above is just plain common sense.
