Re: Still no update | Windows Phone Secrets

Yea, but I expect that WP 7 is a bit stronger.  The internal push on it has
been a lot higher.

Microsoft does have a history of pulling the plug on their phone products
faster than you can say, well, 'Microsoft Kin.' ; )

A developer ranting about how he hasn't received a single Windows Phone 7

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.
