in case you didn't know the WP7 app store has eveolved faster than android and has already passed 8000 apps. It's about the same speed at which iPhone market evolved, except that the iPhone had a huge installed base by the time apps were allowed.

It's foolish to underestimate the developer muscle of MSFT.

exactly, just as Android looked to tap into the market of developers who know Java will, WP7 goes for C# developers - of which there are many. Microsoft treat their developers well.

Microsoft should be able to look at what sucks about the Apple ecosystem and capitalize on those factors by tuning them into their advantages and Apple's weakness.
