A Sad Day on Reddit

Most reps will push what they use. I don't think once MS apps their reps into stores, they will point out the strong points of Android and iOS over WP7.

As far as apps go, I think it's more than the social apps. We it is for people who are out of HS. Pretty much all banks have apps for iOS/Android, credit card companies, insurance companies, and local business have apps for iOS/Android, but not many have them for WP7. Also when dealing with apps, if they are going to be released, it's pretty much it's a sure bet it's coming to Android and iOS, but a lot of devs play the "wait and see" with WP7.

The main 'apps' I can see some consumers missing are the social games like WWF and Draw Something. I think if MS can get Zynga and other companies on board to create social games that work across iOS/Android and WP, they'd have a much better chance of selling devices. However, other than those social games, I don't think there really is a lack of apps - main ones are mostly covered.

Yes, I've found that to be true. WP is generally a lower priority for banks local companies. But regardless of it being in HS or not, I'd say social games are bigger than those who bank on their mobile phones. If I had a choice of being able to bring Angry Birds, WWF, Draw Something etc.. to WP at the same time as other platforms, I'd take that over bank/insurance/local business apps. Of course, the best situation would be to actually have WP seem important enough to have all apps the other two platforms have

MS recently indicated they are gpoing to be poshing the developers of the "must have" programs not yet on the platform to get their apps on board. Hopefully that push will bear much fruit!
