Despite the rapid growth Android has made in both the
states and
internationally, Google’s OS has not taken the crown just yet. This fall Microsoft will join the battle with Windows Phone 7. While early reports have been favorable towards the forthcoming OS it seems developers haven’t been so quick to hop on board the WP7 train. After being available for three months, the Windows Phone 7 software development kit has been downloaded*300,000 times. While 100,000 downloads a month isn’t bad, when compared to Android’s SDK, which was downloaded 750,000 in it’s first three months of availability back in 07, Microsoft’s numbers seem quite low. It goes without saying that the OS with the most third party developer support will have the best chance of reigning supreme, and right now Android is well ahead.
