You get the picture. WP7 will basically be a crippled iPhone...
Here is a good summary:

Screw you M$ |
OK, I understand. I think this is positive proof that innovation doesn't flow from $$. I recently had a daughter in law buy an Ipod. I know next to nothing about it. I got to play with it for about 20 minutes; my verdict was WOW. But there were things I didn't like, most of all, being locked into Apple and lack of multitasking. No removable storage???? What brain dead engineer decided that???
M$ has become like Washington: Too arrogant to listen TO THE PEOPLE and only concerned about how much of our money they can get!!
No wonder people are leaving WM in droves. With SPB releasing their Shell for android I think that it is a sign of nails in M$ coffin as far as WM is concerned. They will only be able to survive by buying off as many Software houses as they can. Eye candy is fine, but if it doesn't function they way you want.....
I look forward to when you began to give us awesome builds of Android!! Via Open Source!!
