Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 too little, too late

That's my problem with Microsoft software ... they get hyped months or years in advance with nobody actually using the damn product.

And when a product is hyped, you've got to expect a backslash when it doesn't support basic functionality people got accustomed to.

I also think that if third-party integration like Twitter will be less than what Facebook got ... WinMo 7 is basically screwed.

My understanding is that any app can register itself for any of the hubs, so I don't see any technical reason why a twitter app can't go in the people hub.

No clue whose over-sight it is that the twitter app isn't already there.
