" Windows phones had finally gotten good too. They are headed to join the final resting place of the Zune."
Yeah they recently "charged off " the entire cost of their purchase
of Nokia. It does not really matter how good the hardware is anymore
if there is not enough content available from Day one.
Just look at the utter rubbish korean & chinese Android phone hardware on the low end. but the content for them is abundant.
My personal view is that Microsoft never really grasped the Difference between a personal Production device and a pure Consumption device.
Take the Surface Tablets for Example
as a pure consumption device it is way overpriced and poorly supported by third party content makers.
why would I spend $500 for a device just to monkey around on social media when there are less expensive android based tablets flooding the market with access to all of the thousands of android apps .
Ahh but you can do more than just "monkey around on social media"
with a Surface you can use it like a real laptop and do real work on it.
Yes but a very under powered Laptop IMHO
and for that money I would buy a used gamers laptop of craigslist and have a really decent graphics card to run my 3D/CG production rendering programs.
