Android is widgets and an app folder. Wp7 is more than that and its pretty also!!

I don’t know, but the more I read about this the more it seems like a coup for Microsoft–as if Elop was sent over there to do just this very thing. In one swift move they’ve knocked out the #1 smartphone manufacturer and got them to license WP7. While this would be great for a mobile OS that is doing well in the market place I don’t know if it will do anything other than kill Nokia’s smartphone business and open up more room for Apple & Android.
