LG: WP7 falls short as carriers tire of "too much Android"
LG: WP7 falls short as carriers tire of "too much Android" - AppleInsider
I read the comments to the article and most of them echo the same thing.
"sure Android now and maybe W7phone might get more market share then the iphone. But there are so many different Android and W7 phones out there. The Hardware manufactures need to have different cases or looks or hardware specs to get your business.
Even as the article says. LG is committing to developing 50 new Windows Mobile phones by the end of 2012. 50 different W7 phones? That's insanity. So many Android and W7 phones makes it harder to get the OS to work well with them. Plus the hardware manufactures have to wait for the OS to be ready. So it's all bad news.
Sure Android has more total market share. But each individual brand of Android phone has little share. So that's big profits but split among a lot of companies to equal little dollars to each company.
Apple on the other hand, I'm not saying they are perfect. They are not. But you know the iOS market share is 100% Apple. And cause of the iEcosystem you know if you buy the latest iOS device you'll get the latest version of the OS. That's not a guaranteed with Android or W7 Phones.
In short it's a simple case of hardware fragmentation hurting the Android and W7 markets. That's the bad but the good is if one android phone is crap you can choose another one that gets it right.
iOS has no choice. No confusion. It's only Apple. But the downside is if Apple ever screw up their hardware, there no other iOS phone to turn to. But Apple have dodged this bullet so far by making their phones very good.

LG reports disappointment with sales of Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 while its carriers complain of "too much Android" as the third largest mobile maker seeks bolster smartphone sales even as it loses overall mobile market share.
