Windows Phone 7 : It'll Be Fine

There have been dozens of similar articles pointing out the underwhelming early sales of the new Windows Phone from Microsoft in the states. By contrast, in other countries it's doing quite well and sales would have been even better if it hadn't been for some shortages.

My Prediction
The iPhone has had such a large head start, but is only available on the most saturated mobile network in the U.S. -- AT&T. The Android phones offer alternatives available on multiple networks. And like the Android, the new Windows Phones offer multiple phones from multiple manufacturers, but is currently limited to only AT&T and T-Mobile. Once it becomes available on Verizon next Spring I'm sure we'll see a surge in sales and a reason for app developers to continue to build apps for these phones.
