So you want more than downvotes.
1) No apps: there are a few millions websites that you can use on this OS. The truth is that we still need better discovery, but there's a lot of content out there.
2) No OEMs. Sure... zte, tcl, LG, geeksphone, spreadtrum odms for now.
3) No innovation. What do you call innovation? We'll have webrtc based video calls in 2.0, and we've been pushing a lot of new apis in the web platform. What is windows phone innovation?
4) Developer ecosphere? Well, we have to get them onboard right? We are also doing a lot of reach out to users through community efforts and more classic marketing including some with partners.
Sure it's a bet, and a hard one given how the mobile ecosystem works. But we are doing well so far (I'm waiting for your comments on ubuntu / tizen / jolla that are competing with us).
I remember that when we started 2 years ago, people were just ignoring us ("no way they can make it"). Then they started to laugh at us ("their stuff is not good"). I'm happy to see some fighting us now (and not just ignoring us) because it means that we'll reach the 4th stage, where we win. Yay!
It's always amazing how people can be critical of anything Mozilla does, or doesn't.
