>>I love Windows Phone 7 and think not only is it a game changer, but will be the preeminent platform in the not so distant future.
Nice article, and I quite like the WP7 as well... but preeminence seems unlikely. Earlier predictions of millions of Windows Phone 7 sales in the first few days did not come true. MS now says that only 1.5M devices were sold in the first 6 weeks. This compares to 3M iPhones in its first 3 weeks on the market.... and more than 300,000 Android devices being activated daily, meaning that another 12M Android devices were activated during WP7's initial sales frenzy. On that basis, WP7 is well behind Android and falling further behind every day. So if MS and its fans have something up their sleeves to justify the sunny confidence, IMHO they'd better reveal it ASAP.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
