I mean, come on; there are some very big name applications and developers missing from the store. Microsoft are trying their hardest to patch the black hole in their app store, the one that Android and the iOS have managed to patch in theirs. Recently it has come to the attention of the customers that major name developers are just convinced that they want to spend their time developing applications for the Windows Phone, so Microsoft developers have taken matters into their own hands! The users of the windows phone store are over the moon when they see [B]6tag[/B] in the app store or [B]MetroTube[/B], because they finally have their own versions of Instagram and Youtube... But I wonder, how long will this last for? How long will people be content with having un-official applications on their phones? Many of you will plead "Of course, they're still getting the applications aren't they?" - but think again, what happens when the developers of these un-official applications decide to stop developing them? How will the windows platform users feel when they find their friend who has the iPhone in their hands is scrolling down the timeline with the latest update of the Facebook application? They'll feel like their phone isn't good enough, the questions is, is it good enough? Mobiles always have been and always will be about what they have to offer and if applications are lacking then what platform are people going to go for? Don't get me wrong, the phone themselves are remarkable, the interface and most of the internal specifications are outstanding but people don't want one part of the package, they want the whole package and maybe even more. Even when developers do make official applications for the windows store, the functionality of the applications are never as good as the Android and iOS ones, they lack many features and this is purely due to the fact that developers are not really meeting eye to eye with the windows platform. The questions you have you ask yourself now are: [LIST] [*]Is the windows phone worth the hassle of not having all the good applications? [*]How long will developers take to actually make the applications for windows? [*][B]Will the windows phone survive?![/B] [/LIST] ([I]This would be if it had a comments section[/I]) Tell us all your answers to these questions below, we want to hear what you think and maybe it could improve our way of looking at the Windows Phones!
