I wish Google would adopt the same approach and release some official apps for WP

      For a second I thought WP was for Wordpress :)

  Google is the new Microsoft. Which means they don't release apps for Windows Phone.
  • raldi 13y ago
    Could you clarify your logic?
    • outside1234 13y ago
      Google is not going to help Windows Phone succeed. Just like Microsoft didn't help the iPhone succeed by withholding office for years. We can argue on the effectiveness of those strategies but that is the strategy here.

        But then how do you explain all the Google apps for iOS?
        • outside1234 13y ago
          iOS had greater than Android market share when it was released. It still has significant share. Windows Phone does not. Did you know that Google Maps was released for Windows Mobile before iOS? That was when Windows Mobile had market share.

            Soooo... What you're saying.. is that Google focuses on writing software for platforms that have the most users. How does this prove they're the new Microsoft?

  I don't think its in Google's strategic view to release any official WP apps. Doing that would mean they would have to accept WP as competition. Windows 8 (Desktop) store on the other hand has a handful of official Google apps.
