    I agree with Ellie. I feel like Apple could ultimately just adjust and do the same. The iPhone is too popular and trusted by the consumer to lose that much competition to this anyway. It’s a good effort though.

    Windows has an interesting idea: instead of competing with Apple and Android’s apps on the plane of quantity, it is opting to compete in terms of relevance. This notion makes plenty of sense, but it comes with an obvious obstacle in determining which apps are actually helpful to a particular community of users. Are there some common characteristics between all Windows Phone users? Possibly, but with just under 10% of the smart phone market, Windows would have to make some sweeping generalizations about its consumers in order to provide them with a small assortment of apps that are uniquely relevant to them.

    I’m not sure that anyone ‘take on’ the iPhone. I understand the local app idea, but if that becomes a trend, what is stopping Apple from doing the same? It does make sense to do so, but they’re going to need the local apps in addition to a large amount of other apps.

    I think it’s nice to finally see maybe some real competition for the iPhone…but really I’m not sure how many people would pick this over the iPhone. Since the iPhone is somewhat affordable and most networks now carry the iPhone I’d like to see some competition. I am a huge fan of the iPhone but I’m just shocked how many people really have an iPhone now…it is beginning to take over.
