Still no update | Windows Phone Secrets

A developer ranting about how he hasn't received a single Windows Phone 7
since it released. He had already noted back in
January<http://windowsphonesecrets.com/2011/01/18/software-updates-windows-phone-vs-iphone/>that
in its first three months of release, iPhone had multiple bug fix &
feature enhancement releases. And iPhone updates continue to outpace:

Well, here’s an inconvenient truth for you: When Microsoft launched Windows
> Phone in October/November 2010, the then-current version of iOS was 4.1,
> released back in September of that year. And since then, Apple has released:


> iOS 4.2. Added a free version of Find My Phone, multitasking tray
> improvements, new voice memo icons, FaceTime improvements, new text tone
> alerts, new sound controls for the volume buttons, and other changes and bug
> fixes. (Most 4.2 features were for iPad and aren’t listed here.)


> iOS 4.2.1. Bug fixes.


> iOS 4.2.5. Added CDMA support.


> iOS 4.2.6. Added AirPlay video support, new Ping parental controls, and
> many other updates, and bug fixes.


> iOS 4.3. As soon as today, Apple will release iOS 4.3, a fairly major
> release with AirPlay enhancements, better Safari performance, iTunes Home
> Sharing, and more.


> I’d also point out that Apple, known for its insularity and lack of
> openness, has been very transparent about its plans for iOS, announcing not
> just features for the next version on a regular basis, but also the version
> after that. And then they deliver on their promises. What a concept.

I have to say, I think it's a shame. I was hoping for a good competitor
here, but from the outside it doesn't look like Microsoft can keep up, let
alone catch up.
