except that everything is different between Android and WP7

compared to WP7 iOS may as well be open-source, I have never seen a system more locked down than WP7 where they even stripe the freaking micro SD to the NAND partition. Pretty ridiculous.

They spent 500million+ on it..thats a side project? O.o

This is a whole different thing. This is a global effort. Orange in Europe has already declared EP7 a success... M$ is dumping 1 BILLION dollars into advertizing alone... I can't immagine what the entire progect budget is...
WP7 will remain viable and will be one of the top players. Not unlike they did with XBox... Everoyne said... There are too many players already... SEGA, Nintendo and Sony dominate the market... There was alot of doubt and look at what happened. Others are playing catchup now.

see that worked on the xbox cause what they did was unique..same trick won't work twice...M$ put the team that promoted the xbox on the zune and it failed...zune hd was a nice device but did not have the features to back it up...remember in game consuls you usually end up having multiple of them..in terms of phones you only generally carry 1 and app compatibility is king...its also what makes windows king..app compatibility...I'm not saying its going to fail..but they have a LONG AND PAINFUL road ahead of them.

It took a long time to get there and it took a couple of hardware generations. WP7 is on verstion 1.0 It will be a while before it makes it's biggest footprint. But It will not fail. Neither will iPhone or Android. There are plenty of us with different tastes and budgets to make all three OSs successful and then some.
This is not a war as much as it is a symbiotic relationship. Sort of like the one Coke and Pepsi and... Ok just Coke and Pepsi share.
lol.
p.

Well what going to really make it or beak it in 2011..M$ has Android and iPhone from the front..and WebOS, MeeGo, Bada from the back..its going to be an all out war....

Right...
Looks like you've got it all figured out. +1 on my post count is not that important to me. LOL.
Have fun here. Jajaja.

That's true. Even inside of television now you see them throw in Windows and the likes at every possible spot. Years later, we're gonna look back at it and laugh...

Yeah... Poor poor Microsoft... I wish I was going through as much pain as they are.
It's alll stradegy bro... You think they don't have enough money to squash anything in their way? That's why they owned half of Apple there for a while.
Then sold it back. Apple needed to stay afloat and Microsoft needed them around as well. Monopolies are not a good thing.
You think google makes money from Android? They make money from advertizements on google.com.
WP7 will be a success and will be here for a long time.
Not to mention... WinMo...It'll get revamped and rebranded and Microsoft will have a presense in two different smart phone markets.

M$ actually saved Apple because they make more money with M$ office then they do with Windows...But Apple of back then is not Apple of today.

You have to remember that M$ at the end of the day has to show their investors and keep them happy..if WP7 is not picked up by the general public fast enough the investors may start to back out...

Also you have to remember M$ is not fighting just anyone, they are against Google, Apple, Intel+Nokia, HP. All of the above companies have just as much money as M$...

that doesn't sound right, do you actually know the net worth of those companies? It seems to me as if Google and MS would have a lot more money than the rest. (I don't know the net worth so I could be wrong).

Mobile is a very small division of Microsoft.

[AZTECHKA]

So... Does all this nonsence prove that Windows Mobile IS dead or IS NOT dead...
I'm lost in a sea of pointless argument.
lol.
