MS always gets a pass? every tech journalist has been praising the iPhone (which it deserves) while bashing on winmo's lack of progress... specifically calling out delays in WM7. most tech enthusiasts/readers agreed with them hence WM decline in market share. WP7 happens to offer a much better approach to a MS phone (even if a few promised features (which i cant remember any WM7 confirmed features... just vague screenshots of a 'new' UI)) and older features (task manager style multitasking) SO if the feature set and execution of the product is radically better than what they initially promised... why would anyone want to complain?
so there are going to be Xbox LIVE games (that have achievements, and all that other Xbox LIVE stuff) AND non-Xbox LIVE games that don't have that sort of stuff? So it's almost like two platforms. I'm excited by WP7 but if Xbox is going to be their generic game brand don't water down the brand... honestly i'm just confused by that first question and answer... and i think the average consumer will be confused by such a strategy as well and not understand the lack of consistancy
please make this an option on the HP slate. Buy a Win 7 version (more expensive) or buy a Windows Phone 7 Series version (less expensive). PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
