Surface Pro 7 deal! Save big at Amazon right now
- IMO they need to push out these updates ASAP in order to build further positive buzz about the platform. The expansion of APIs for developers is also critical, or else we won't see Pandora, Skype, or multi-client IM apps jumping onboard to the marketplace. Here's to hoping MS engineers have a busy 2011 pushing things out12-21-2010 05:44 PMLike 0
- Haha. It's good to know that people read my posts. :p
I think that an update in the next 30 days should keep the momentum up, and although I don't know if we will see an API update in that release, we should see it in the next 90 days. Completely off topic. Sorry!12-21-2010 06:35 PMLike 0 -

- We should get that first update the day of CES I say, so the 5th, then they can show and talk about WP7 on Verizon at the keynote later that day. It makes the best marketing sense to do so.
Then have something else ready for Feb to talk about at MWC and maybe release. MS knows they need to keep it going and frequent updates keeps WP7 in the news.12-22-2010 06:16 AMLike 0 - We should get that first update the day of CES I say, so the 5th, then they can show and talk about WP7 on Verizon at the keynote later that day.

That said, if WPCentral, or WMPoweruser, would like a new writer, I would love a chance to. I used to write for the largest iPhone blog in Canada, and miss doing things like that.12-22-2010 08:10 AMLike 0 - We should get that first update the day of CES I say, so the 5th, then they can show and talk about WP7 on Verizon at the keynote later that day.

I am a network engineer, but most of my friends are auto mechanics or farmers. Not exactly tech savy folks. They all know what an iPhone is, and sorta know what a Droid is, although they couldn't tell you what makes a Droid a Droid. When I told them that I got a new phone, they all knew, almost instantly, what Windows Phone 7 was. They knew the commercials, and my cousin actually sang "I'm gonna do my sexy dance! WooHoo!" It's pretty incredible, actually.12-22-2010 08:17 AMLike 0 - I think that depends on what you read. It's funny to me that most of the tech bloggers out there are saying that WP7 will fail, because sales are slow, but if you look at sales of the original iPhone, or the G1, they were both very slow movers when they were released. I am pretty sure that WP7 has outsold both of them in the first 44 days (well, 62 world wide, 44 in North America.)12-22-2010 08:39 AMLike 0
