Microsoft has a heckuva job ahead of it in building an application ecosystem for Windows Phone 7 before its launch by the holidays.

This article is pretty clueless.
First, basically everything developers have needed to start creating WP7 apps has been out for months. All said and done, the tools and SDKs will have been out for over a year before WP7 launches. Second, there are upwards of 500,000 developers that already know 90% of what they need to know (.NET, WPF/Silverlight) to create applications for WP7. Third, keeping backwards compatibilty with this phone would have been a huge mistake. It's been holding back the WinMo platform for years. I've played with an actual WP7 device. It's exactly what I've been hoping for since the day I bought my Zune. Will it be a game changer? No. Will it compete and with Apple and Google the same way that Microsoft competes with Sony in the game console market? Yup. It will be a three way race. |
