WinMobile don't wanna go to rehab, no, no, no!

Sony Ericsson had resistance from Microsoft to rehab Windows Mobile on their X1 to skin the OS with panels. Java ME technology on the other hand loves when developers and OEMs come up with their own skins. Have you seen LWUIT?

See:

Don't wanna go to rehab, no, no no!

Here's a quote: 

 Microsoft's initial response 
 to Sony Ericsson's plan to skin 
 the OS with panels was not a 
 positive one: "I still remember 
 in the very beginning phase we 
 a little bit [did] disclose our 
 panel concept to Microsoft and 
 [the] first reaction from 
 Microsoft was 'no, no, no! 
 Please stay Microsoft way, 
 Windows way'.
Sing it, Amy!
