Re: Look, we've been dumped. I know it hurts. I know you loved her.
There is a lot to be excited about and a lot to be concerned about but in the end I want the Microsoft phone to succeed. If they stayed the course the phone would have died and we would all be tweaking the registry just to tweak without anything to run. With a common set of tools the windows phone is becoming a platform for developers.
Look at Android. They are copying in their own way the model that got Microsoft in trouble. It is already possible to see programs advertised for an Android phone rather than the platform. It didn't work for Microsoft and with a strong Apple, Microsoft and Rim I think Android will start to flounder.
The recent big news is Microsoft will allow developers to have unlocked phones. At the moment it appears $100 will do the trick.
