“Changing the name doesn’t make it not old.”
I know what you mean. But WP7 is actually quite new. And the Mango version is not even released to American markets yet.
I am today programming a Mango-based app. It is a fabulous development environment with very powerful features (these phones can also run X-Box games.) Though literally zero non-beta U.S. users as yet. AFAIK.
Windows 8 could be a different matter.
Apple is going to miss WP7 the way they miss Vista.
mango isn’t released until january for USA
It’s not iOS new, it’s a complete rewrite to do the same thing the line has been doing for a quarter century. All that baggage is still there, just new ways of dealing with it. That’s not the kind of “new” users are looking for in 2011.
