I wouldnt say never, more its very very very unlikely.lawfer said:
I can't say I'm surprised. WP7 is not necessarily a failure, but it will definitely never be a success with Android and iOS on the market. And yes, I used the word never.
If that's saturated, what do you think about the PC market, which sold 306 million in 2009?TomSEA said:
"To put that number into perspective, Apple had some 600,000 pre-orders for the iPhone 4, and is reportedly selling around 270,000 a day. Meanwhile, Google activates some 200,000 Android handsets daily."
If that's not a saturated market, I don't know what is.

One of the best things that Android had going for it was, it wasn't Apple, people wanted an iPhone alternative and the Android OS delivered just that. Windows 7 just doesnt have that edge that will make the masses migrate

Foxrox, sorry, but I can't agree with you. You come off as a little bitter.
The recently released Galaxy S phones sold 1 million in a span of a month in the US, so I can't buy into the bad economy excuse. WP7 despite being backed by huge advertising and marketing dollars sold lousy and is just not desirable to the general public. What's "different and better" for you in regards to WP7 is only a matter of opinion and apparently doesn't seem to carry over into the public based on the muted response for this phone.
Finally, you seem to live in some vacuum where there will not be any new android/RIM phones released in the near future or the iPhone 4 being released in early 2011 on Verizon that will take away from the already small attention WP7 is getting. Keep dreaming thinking that there are millions upon millions of already satisfied iPhone customers wetting in anticipation of jumping into WP7's near non existent unproven ecosystem once their contracts expire. If people are already satisfied and feel the system they're in is good enough, why jump to something else?
The iPhone 4 is ahead of it's time hardware wise.
