While I understand that the diversity of the hardware is a strength, I feel that the Androids problem is the large variety of hardware it is on which makes it harder to develop for than the iPhone, does anyone think that these problems will be a major issue for Windows Phone 7?

No, I don't think so, because according to the presentations Microsoft put forward strict rules for the hardware makers who wants to run WP7, like processor, RAM, only two allowed screen resolutions, etc.

Hmmm, that sounds a lot like the lead-in for another "Vista Capable" debacle.
