My complaint is that these apps are arriving on WP7 well after they are available on other platforms. So, all your friends on Android/Apple are playing "Words With Friends", and as a WP user, you are missing out.

All those apps that let people stay in touch, or play games against each other, have been very slow to come to WP (WhatsApp, HearTell, Words with Friends, Skype, that finger painting one that seems to be all the rage now) Cheers Ken From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com<mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com> [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com<mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com>] On Behalf Of Craig van Nieuwkerk Sent: Friday, 22 June 2012 11:50 AM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: Windows Phone 8 announced On Fri, Jun 22, 2012 at 11:44 AM, Bill McCarthy <bill.mccarthy.li...@live.com.au<mailto:bill.mccarthy.li...@live.com.au>> wrote: To change tack a little, what in your opinion would be the top issues that have led to the relatively poor uptake of Windows Phone over the last three years ? I think lack of availability is a big issue. When I walk through my local shopping centre or browse catalogues I see WP7 get a lot of advertising. You can't miss it. But if I go into a Telstra shop or typically phone shop I typically see on the racks 2 x iPhone (black & white) 10 x Android 1 (maybe 2) x WP7 Doesn't matter how much you advertise if they are not on the shelves. iPhone can get away with it because they are so well known now.
