i-mate's US outpost implodes, most laid off {Engadget Mobile}

Mar 1st 2008 7:32PM haven't tried these models,
but the 2 imate phones I've had were awesome. I really liked the small wi-fi imate SP5 which runs windows mobile 5. Be a shame for a Windows Mobile player to go down in flames. I like the option of having that OS on my phone as opposed to the future with only iphones and the google os... why onearth would I want a Nokia proprietary os when I can get decent non-java 3rd party apps for windows mobile, iphone (if you want to deal with the hassle of unlocking) or the gphone oses when they arrive??
