^I think this is an exciting time to be an early WP7 adopter. I know a lot of the tech journals and blogs out there are predicting the platform's demise, but once you remember that journalists always have to take some kind of 'angle' on everything they write, it's impossible not to take their predictions of doom with a grain of salt.
Maybe it's because the story of WebOS is fresh in everyone's minds that there's so much skepticism about WP7's future. Sure, there are some parallels between the two platforms' situations, but the biggest difference, as many have mentioned, is MSFT's deep pockets. I'm getting the feeling that Redmond sees that it has a real winner just like it did with the Xbox.
I used to show off all the great aspects of WebOS to friends and they were all fairly impressed. Some were just being polite, I imagine. In the end, I think they thought of it as just a slightly better version of iOS, however unjust that assumption may be. But they are all dazzled by WP7. It's a radically original design and truly beautiful with so much practical potential. I think we are, as early adopters, kind of 'getting in on the ground floor.'
