Total #'s are worthless. Who cares if Apple, or Google, or MS have 673 calculator apps and 1457 notes apps, etc, etc.
Does MS have the latest Angry Birds, Facebook, Netflix, Gmail, Maps, Comcast remote control, Pandora, Instagram, Kindle, Pinterest, Skype, Red Box, etc, etc apps? That is where MS falls down.

| Angry birds: check, facebook: check, netflix: check, gmail: check, Bing maps and Gmaps: check, Comcast remote: nope... have to ask comcast, Pandora: Check (MetroRadio is better than the stock pandora app), Instagram: nope, but possibly 3rd party app, kindle: check, Pinterest: Not officially, but there is a high rated 3rd party app, Skype: Will be integrated in WP8 and has an app for WP7, Redbox: check.
The WP ecosystem has grown immensely this year. They might not get the latest craze like words with friends when it first comes out, but there are plenty of other devs that will end up making something similar. | |

And they are a distant 4th on the list of updating, fixing issues, and gaining new features. You follow the $$ and that's iOS, Android, Blackberry (still outselling Win Phone), and then maybe we'll get around to our Win Phone version.
Heck, you see that to a limited extent with Android. Look at Facebook - app redesign was done first on iOS and then they are doing Android. I don't even think BB and WP7/8 are even on their map at this point. | |
