That's one way to look at it. Another way to look at it is that they are allowing developers to develop for iOS and Android in C#, which may eventually have a good effect on the number of Windows Phone apps developed.
- AndrewDucker 15y agoYup, right now being able to move your iOS app easily to WinPhone would be in Microsoft's favour.
- rbanffy 15y agoOTOH, being able to easily move your WP7 app to Android or iOS is a disaster for MS. The only portability that interests Microsoft is one-way towards their platforms.
- AndrewDucker 15y agoWell, yes. Once WP7 has a larger market share than Android and iOS they'll want to plug that gap. That should happen about fifteen minutes after never.
- untog 15y agoYes, but MS are behind in the smartphone race and they know it. Right now they'll do anything they can to get more devs on their platform.
