Just because anlysts say things like that, doesn't mean it is true,

One ecosystem, very logical and brilliant! Glorified widgets? I disagree.

i completely disagree with the glorified widgets quip in the article as well.
Next you will see Taco jump in and say "see, apps are widgets.. iOS therefore invented widgets and should sue you!"
lol
I think app integration is only a positive.. for both consumers and for app developers. Even if windows 8 never fully takes off on the phones, u know its going to be popular on PC so that gives app developers a HUGE incentive to create WP8 apps. That surge in apps will help sell WP8 phones in the end. Its a cycle!

Yes, Windows 8 should be a fantastic step. In about 2 years. Can we please, PLEASE, just get Mango to all American carriers first and than worry about W8??

"(sorry bada fans,)"
I think that was meant for me : P
But come on, i know that most analsysts at the moment think WP7 will be the third ecosystem, that is just assumptions and has not happened yet (bada is bigger than WP7 at the moment, and there are no signs of WP7 overtaking bada in marketshare).
When WP7 starts selling more than Winmo, then they can start talking about third ecosystem, at the moment, Winmo has a better chance at becoming the third ecosystem, it has more market share : )
If Mango and the second generation of WP7 phones come out, and it still is a fiasco, then the analyst firms should stop with their talk of WP7 third ecosystem.

We will talk in 12 months, Pete. Until then- just keep fighting the good fight.

I agree we should talk in 12 months time : )
Then we will see that bada has lots more market share : )

i am a big fan of an indian singer and long time ago i though he will become the best and most famous singer of the world. but he did'nt. you know why? because it was only my personal liking for him. there was actually nothing so much great in him. bada is never going to make it.

Michael,
your using bad grammar...
technically I think it should have been "sorry bada FAN" lol :) :) :)

How can you make the insidious "your/you're" mistake in the middle of a joke about my grammar?

hahaha.. caught red handed.. lol. well, it just makes it that much funnier. :)

it wasnt a real mistake, just another way to pick on poor Peter, our resident Bada cheerleader :D

Just think of all the developers that this move would open to WP8. All the programs already planned and budgeted to be developed for Windows 8 by third parties now have an easy, defined, and logical path to make the program available for WP8 as an app. Developers could even generate a new revenue stream from porting from Windows 8 to WP8 that did not exist for them before [and vice versa since traditional computers are still more prevalant than smartphones].
Instantly, most of Microsoft's dominant desktop/laptop marketshare is brought to bear in the WP ecosystem. To be sure, there will be announcements of Microsoft plans on hand holding developers through the process to make it as easy and prolific as possible: count on free developer's forums in MSTCs, discounted licensing, a huge 1st party API library, and continued excellent developer's tools.

Correct me if I'm wrong, "Tiles" is the term used for wp7. Not widgets.
