Not rocket science here there more money to be made to write apps for Droid and Windows Phone 7 when there are more of those devices out there on the market which means developers will get their apps onto more phones... Droid right now in the lead simply due to there are more Droid devices and they been out on the market longer which means allot of apps are written for them. Now with Microsoft making a hard push they are starting to get more devices out there which means you write a app for them that more money to be made. HTC leading everyone as far the Hardware Manufacture they just passed Nokia by Billion dollars last week but HTC,Nokia are the top 2 as far as cell phone manufactures.. Now Nokia will be coming out with many Windows Phone 7 devices just like HTC is and Driod and Windows Phone 7 will have the most devices out.. Which means more and more things will be written for Windows Phone 7 due to you will be able to get your app out more on more devices due to there is more and more money for developers as well.. It's already been showed that the Marketplace for Windows Phone 7 is at a faster growing rate than Droid was... Also with Nokia who is the largest phone manufacture on the planet will be coming out with more Windows Phone 7 devices this will give some good competition between them and HTC... I think right now it's way to early for anyone to say that Windows Phone is a distant memory and with the Marketplace growth and the top 2 manufactures in the game getting involved with Microsoft. Plus the investment they are making along with the backing Microsoft where money not a issue in the long run at this point I think it's going to do well.. But right now their at the early stages of something that most likely going to be big. Just my 2 cents..
So why do you think Windows Phone will be so huge? Nokia may be the largest handset manufacture but look at what they put out. Cheap junk. That’s why they sell so many, it’s easy to be #1 when you give your stuff away for free or charge next to nothing. And in the US, Nokia is all but irrelevant. As for HTC, yeah they have Windows Phone 7 devices, but they had some Windows Mobile 6 phones out and that didn’t make Windows Mobile Smartphones all that hot. I don’t know why you keep denying the fact a Microsoft Mobile platform will NEVER EVER take off. All previous attempts (and there’s been enough of them) have been massive failures and there’s nothing that says this won’t be another one. There is no interest in Windows Phones, there’s no ‘must have’ handset, infact they are all mediocre at best. I’ve played with WP7 devices and think they just plain suck. All flash, no substance. And that Tile UI is the most retarded thing I’ve had the displeasure of ever using.
