One of my central problems with the Windows Phone 8 story as it is related in popular media--and even tech-sites and blogosphere sites--is the story that there are approx. 120,000 WP8 apps in the app store. I find it misleading because those are the same WP7.5 apps that they've been been counting all along, almost none of which can exploit the dual-core capabilities of the WP8 OS.

The WP8 ecosystem should be reported as, "There are 120,000 WP7.5-era apps that the new OS is backward compatible with, as well as X-number of applications developed specifically for WP8 that exploit the OS's dual-core capability. Older apps were written for the single-core 7.5 version of the OS."

This may impact the votes on this question, since most of the apps for WP8, as of right now, would still be single core apps--just like the n9.
