And every Java developer is an Android developer. Is Microsoft planning on opening a Windows Phone App Store? I'd be interested to see what that looks like.

No, not really. If WinMo 7 has full silverlight or wpf xaml support, the same code you run on the phone can run on the desktop as well (native or in the browser). Not so with Android. Think more like JavaFX, but on devices that'll actually ship.

Don't they already have a huge app store for Windows Mobile that no one uses? http://marketplace.windowsphone.com/Default.aspx
