A comment on Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 too little, too late.

Even if Windows Phone 7 is not significantly better than the iPhone and Android competition is a good thing, right? I've played with a device in store and it seems OK-to-good in comparison to my iPhone 4 (which is quite good). I think consumers will be better off if Windows Phone 7 is a credible phone platform, regardless of whether they actually ever use it because it will keep iPhone and Android improving.

There is still Blackberry, webOS, and Nokia. Already lots of competition. Adding Microsoft doesn't hurt but it's probably not helping much at this point.

Also, I think Apple and Google know they need to improve, regardless of the competition. They are both strong players vying to be the #1 in smart phones.
