Motorola A3100 Feels Two Years Old

Motorola A3100 Feels Two Years Old

Motorola’s new A3100 all-touch-screen smartphone in a nutshell:

Guy next to me: “So what do you make of this thing?”
Me: “Eh, I’m not really a Windows Mobile guy.”
Guy next to me: “Who is?”

With Apple iPhone OS, Google Android, and now Palm WebOS competing in the smartphone space, it’s hard to believe that any company is still hacking up Windows Mobile phones, but Motorola is still trying to put a fresh face on the operating system equivalent of Britney Spears.
