no.

Went to a shop with someone who wanted to buy a new smartphone. He never used a smartphone before and doesnt know anything about it. I wanted to recommend him a lumia 700 but the dealer doesn't have it , and went on to say : ANDROID PHONES ARE ALOT EASIER TO USE THAN WINDOWS. WINDOWS IS NEW AND VERY COMPLICATED.

I was like

does the boss actually know what is windows phone? i think he is years behind current technology

Let them be, it's better just to knot and walk away, as they say... different people different point of view so it's hard to argue which side should crown the best usable smartphone.

ya...mayb the seller is non-wp7 user...

also mayb android was easier to sell. and they gor lots of lots of lots of stock need to clear off.

Is WP8 update really that important? From what I see from the net, it doesn't seem much. But what I'm worried is the apps, simple apps like maybe (future la) ....air asia...MAS....GSC and other related apps can run on WP7 or not?

His android phones not cheap also

Developers will want all channels of available audiences from all the places, meaning if you develop a app for WP8 but not WP7, you will lose the audience from WP7 just WP8 exclusively. However they would want to have a piece of WP7 too, mostly they will start building apps that supports WP7.x & 8

It's really hard to say in the future. If Windows 8 is the main driver for Windows Phone 8 (meaning developers are developing for Windows Phone 8 simply because they are ALREADY developing for Windows 8), then developers will take notice of that and simplify their coding through the 'shared core' that Microsoft was talking about.

By 'sharing a core', I believe this would mean an app that is compatible for WP7 will need to be separately built, meaning less developers will be interested in that extra work for a small market share. (WP market share is only around 1% now.)

But at the same time, Microsoft is continuing to recommend developers to use XAML/Silverlight to code apps for both WP7 and WP8. Microsoft is only recommending native code for game developers.

So it really depends whether companies will go all-in with 'shared core', or have some sort of separate development for all Windows Phones.

Thx a lot.
