Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
I think I mentioned this already that in our Microsoft partner conference in Singapore last year, majority of attendees including Microsoft employees are using products from Apple.
I'm not really surprised by that as WP was initially developed with capitalising on an Apple type platform. Getting people to buy into the ecosystem and locking them in.
Strangely however, though they seem to cater to iOS first (like everyone) they appear to be leaning more towards an Android like interface than a iOS type one. Then again I don't know enough about iOS to really comment.
Still, I have no gripe or bones to pick about what they use personally. It just doesn't give consumers confidence when you've got the top brass and other MS employees using competitor phones and then trying to sell their product to you. Doesn't look good overall.
Though consumers have voted with their feet ever since WP has come out. Some have stuck around others have come in and out of WP lots of people keep waiting for that 'ah ha' moment when the rest of the world will realise how great WP is and shift over. Thing is, there is very little compelling reason to go to WP. There's little reason to want to use it unless you're a fan of interface because that's all it's got to offer. The average consumer will not use Continuum, nor will enterprise. Continuum is a unique, niche area which will appeal to a small segment of the populace.
With WP still lacking mainstream apps (excluding the 3rd party equivalents), lacking enterprise support (they're still missing apps for it) and then releasing top tier phones that hasn't been marketed (still haven't seen a single ad for a L950 here) you have to wonder what they're doing and what their plans are.
