Gizmodo tossing WP deep under the bus. As I said, the closer we get to launch, expect to see more of these musings from google's bankrolled Trolls.
Request: Please keep it civil
"Does that mean there won?t be any more Windows Phones? No, there almost certainly will. In fact, Microsoft is still working on two new flagship Lumia devices, if you believe the rumors.
But the honest truth: this is probably the final nail in the coffin for Microsoft the phone company. The final nail, because Ballmer?s replacement?Satya Nadella?has been hammering them into that casket like mad.
There?s a wealth of evidence that Microsoft?s been giving up the smartphone ghost for a while now. First off, it aggressively acquired some of the very best productivity apps out there, like Wunderlist, Sunrise, and Acompli, to shore up its software presence on iOS and Android. (Not just Windows Phone.)
Microsoft?s newest app Tossup, an app designed to help you plan events with friends, isn?t even offered on Windows Phone.
Then there?s been the systematic Great Migration of Microsoft?s own premiere apps to Android as well.
Not only are some Microsoft?s apps not exclusive to Windows Phone, you can actually get them preinstalled on competing phone platforms now. Microsoft struck up a deal with Samsung to pre-install apps like OneNote, OneDrive, and Skype on to the Galaxy S6, then swiftly came Dell, LG, Sony, and other smaller international OEMs. Microsoft even partnered up with Cyanogen, a community-built fork of Android that might as well be another competing operating system."
More there.
But dude picks a single unknown and untested app and that's this entire rational. Anyway, the 29th is fast approaching as is the trolls.
Gird thou loins.
