A developer just replied in the stickied topic (that's FILLED with disappointment) about how easy it is for developers to compile apps for BOTH 7.8 and 8. No you may not get Skype integration and no your HTC phone may not get Nokia Maps and navigation, but again there's possibility. The developer ALSO said when creating for Android, they start from Gingerbread because of the bigger userbase and THEN move it over to ICS and Tablet production. Please know that all hope is not lost and please keep that in mind before making repetitive topics about you ASSUME will happen, thus bringing down the whole WPCentral experience for EVERYONE.
