Quote - Poser 8 vs daz studio is like windows mobile phone vs iphone ... winmo is an open system with a lot of tweak options, iphone is a key in hands phone for noobs ...

Sorry but it's real ...

Err, not exactly. It's a lot more complex in there. :)

Windows Mobile is losing it's butt in marketshare right now - and not only to the iPhone. Palm (Pre), Google (Android), and RIM (Blackberry) have been eating Microsoft's lunch and dating its girlfriend. Even HTC, WinMo's biggest champion, is abandoning WinMo for the Android.

By the by, the iPhone is actually quite open - their only restrictions are that you do not compete directly with their core processes (e.g. don't put Skype of Google Voice on there), or try to violate security. Otherwise, the rest has to do with quality.

Android is completely open - make what you want. WinMo is somewhat open (you pretty much have to get and use Visual Studio for the libraries... and you don't want to know what all of the required bits cost). The global leading phone OS Symbian is (as of recently) open source. Palm I don;t know about, though... simply because I do not know. :)
