I had forgotten about the Portable Media Center http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/portablemediacenter/default.mspx. MS definitely has a lot of the right ingredients here. Xbox Live is the other key service I'd look at bringing into the mix. Good points James.

Late to the table, more expensive and dizzyingly feature-rich it's the classic MSFT V2 entry. Similarly with Windows Mobile, you've got a primarly MIW-focused product line which is high-dollar and packed with features. The services story is a bit weak right now but obviously Microsoft is working on that too - with a gigantic MSN web presence already in their pocket, there is also the Windows Live brand building up on the horizon. The question is how will they all come together, and when? Microsoft already has the PMC in that space, but it’s far from a success story.
