  So...who from HN is developing for this market place or plans to do that? I really wonder what kind of audience of developers this device attracts.

  First thing, the name is too long. "Check out this thing on App Store" vs. "Check out this thing on Windows Phone Marketplace". I feel bad even typing it out.
