That's not really what counts. What counts - for the end user - is that Apple includes the drivers, delivers them, and they just work. That's the plan - and Apple's doing quite a good job at that, lately. iSync is a bit of an exception. They should at least include mobile phones in the list of supported devices that are very similar to already supported ones, because those usually "just work" when you add their product number to that list by hand. Or maybe they should create an assistant application for iSync which probes the mobile phone for the services it offers. You could then connect the phone via BT (or USB cable), "iSync Assistant" would ask you a couple of questions like "what supported phone most resembles yours", probe the phone and create an iSync-script for your new mobile phone. I'm quite positive that, for example, *all* newer Series 40 phones react like _any_ newer Series 40 phone. Same for Series 60, Series 80, UIQ etc.
It's certainly a bigger step to support a whole new platform, like Windows Mobile. And as I've said: It's just not as if even 5% of mobile phones out there would use this platform.
