The question is who TF cares what code came from where? The question you NEED to be asking is will consumers give a damn about wp7 even after these so called "mango" updates. As far as blowing out of the water, by the time that happens Android will be so far ahead of wp7 in terms of sales that it'd take MS 20 years to catch up. I mean realistically we ALL know thats never going to happen anyways. And at this point I dont care if they were to manage to put a full IE browser on it, there's still nothing about any wp7 phone available thats good enough to make the masses switch to it. No 4g, no FFC, small screens... what MS SHOULD'VE done is just wait until the OS was finished to put it out. It's not like they covered any more ground against the competition by putting it out before it was really ready. When they come out with a wp7 phone with a 4+ inch screen, FFC, 4G, a COMPLETE OS without a keyboard then ill start paying attention.
That's always been one of MS biggest problems, they've never seemed to understand what the masses want and thats one of the main reasons why Android and IOS were able to come in and within a year and a half's time crush their OS to the point where they had to literally start over from scratch. There was a point when WM WAS actually a complete OS, but the masses didnt care then either. I liked WM but it was just dated and MS sucked at innovating anything new for it. And the way they're pushing back the WP7 updates.. seems like the same ol MS to me. In the PC world they dominate, in the mobile world they just dont seem to get it. |
