XNA on the WP is not the same as general XNA - a lot of functionality is missing, and there are some non-general API layers for the Metro tie-in. That's why I said - the ones willing to go down that route.

Tho the numbers don't really matter, a good programmer will master a new API or even a whole new programming language in relatively short time. Script kiddies won't, but I don't think that their apps is what the world is craving for. While there might well be more Qt devs than the ones suitable to develop for WP, after the Feb'11 announcement I doubt many of them would use their knowledge to develop mobile apps... So, not all is in numbers...

P.S. Mono lineage is almost dead (interest-wise), tho the Silverlight was an abortion as well until they forced it onto WP...

If you think WP7 sales will follow iphone's trend just go on dreaming. On what basis will it follow iphone?
So you think that nokia won't get paid for vertu according to those revenues?

So you think there will be zero improvements to WP7 in the future? No new content to whatever their appstore is called?

No matter how much iOS has improved, it cannot match (yet) with microsofts cloud systems.

When looking to the past now, it is obivous that there were signs in couple of months that correlate very strongly to the success. This is just a strong indicator for the fact that you are the one who needs to study more economics.

What do you mean about integration? Camera app can be set to upload smaller versions of images taken straight to skydrive automatically and integration with office tools is seamless imo. In addition there is also an app in the marketplace for better control.

But the greatest impediment to WP is the name Windows Phone itself. Nobody wants Windows on their phones as it is associated with a bloated, buggy, malware infested OS and a monopolistic Microsoft. Of course they are different but the name and automatic association rankles.

MS will lead Nokia to an early grave, no doubt about that.
That^ needs to be read by everybody again.
