Declaring WP7 dead in the water after 1 batch of phones is like saying Android was dead after the first couple phones fizzled. The upside certainly doesn't look

Declaring WP7 dead in the water after 1 batch of phones is like saying Android was dead after the first couple phones fizzled. The upside certainly doesn't look as good but the fact is these OS's all seem to launch in beta and most of the market is brand new customers not locked into anything yet. Open sourcing Web OS would remove all chance HP has to profit from it. I think there's a good chance HP, MS and others will follow RIMs lead and leverage Android's ecosystem (and/or Chrome's) while bribing the high profile app developers for native ports of the highest demand apps.
