I am already seeing mainstream ads or it. I am also seeing product placement on some shows after the oscars more visibly. They have the new 'Smoked by Windows Phone' web ads coming out and soon will have them on TV. So yes, finally ads. Also, Nokia is putting in funding for retail sales. Currently most of this is outside the US but T-Mobile has the TV ads now and ATT will soon have retail incentives as well. Coupled with a Zune passm, it pretty solidly fills my needs. I suspect one reason you are not seeing a lot of information on WP8 is MS doesn't wish to distract from Nokia's ad campaigns or discussion of Windows 8 at his time.

Nobody has heard of it. I suspect that with some of the new phones coming out (e.g., the Lumia 900), that will change. I'm not saying WP7 is for everyone. But it's absolutely a solid platform, it's easy to use, and it's refreshingly different from iOS and Android.

I'm still not getting it and I've been playing with it a while. Why take a failed mobile OS and make it a desktop OS? I mean, sure, I see the logic because it *could* help bolster poor mobile device sales, but. The interface reminds me of the Partridge Family bus. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
