Interesting prediction about history repeating with Apple innovating then MS copying and simply setting up more manufacturers.
Though, totally wrong, Android rocks! customers love it! But everyone already has mental associations of what Windows phones look/feel like, and it's not pretty. They have a lot of expensive customer re-education to do. I don't see it taking off as well.
- ericmsimons 16y agoI actually like Android, don't get me wrong! The problem I see with Android is the complexity of the UI. I can find my way around it just fine (cause I'm a tech dork), but a lot of my non-tech geek friends really do become frustrated with their Android devices. My friend Danielle LOVED her HTC Incredible...for about a week. She hates it now because it's "slow, bloated and not as responsive as the iPhone" <-- direct quote. Once WP7 hits, I think the average consumer will like WP7 more. That's just my opinion though, I could definitely be wrong. I was also the guy who preached the iPad wouldn't be a best seller. I now wear a paper bag over my head in public and I also changed my name to Juan. You're also right about their expensive customer re-education. It's definitely an uphill battle for Microsoft but it sounds like they are funding one of the largest marketing campaigns in their history, just for WP7. Should be interesting to see what happens :D
