I read this with the sound of Panos, even stressing out things like "Blow you Mind" and "insane speed".
to the point that I thought Panos is actually trying to direct us into buying these phones.
All in all.....this eco system war, and when will we get apps a nd when will people join windows 10 mobile, 4 years, 5 years...etc, and all this issue has one solution... people are cheap, and want cheaper/free SSHT.
The ipod was successful because it made getting music a bit cheaper, iPhone just built on top of that, but iPhone really grew after jailbreak happened.
Iremember people in my country paying $100 dollars for a jailbreak, to get a $20 dollars worth of apps. (people did not understand paying for apps, they do not see the value for money), then people started learning, and started doing it their selves but it was a hustle.
how did android get into this game? same, android offered all the apps that where on iPhone for free (or atleast the shiny ones), without the jailbreak, people where like, what?? i don't have to pay for jealbreak, and i will get all these apps!! wowww. and the whole android era started.
now if you want windows phone to get into this game... you have to offer something for free... maybe office 365... real office 365, not like the one we got in windows phone 8. something like the mature one that we have now....
but better not to give free boring apps, give some free fun things... people will start joining....
this will continue happening until some bubble blows up due to this weird times and weird business models.
thank you for reading
