Surprisingly (kind of), Windows Mobile 7 is increasing in developer popularity. Developer interest spiked from 13% to 36% over the past couple months. The iPhone is still ahead, but they were the first to the plate, giving them the advantage. Microsoft is pulling it’s weight. But they need to keep the momentum if they want to succeed.

Microsoft decided that Windows Phone 7 Series was stupid after everyone rabbled about it during its announcement. And good riddance, that was a tongue twister.
