Not really, people write WP7 apps specifically and often they don't bother because of the low install base. MS often has to partner with them to allow low level access or pay them to rewrite their app.
which platform is missing from these lists? Why do you think that is?

I don't get the mentality of people who think something is obsolete just because it can't run the latest version of some software, as if the item suddenly loses all functionality. Also shame on MS marketing for calling the update 7.8 instead of 8.0. Why did they do it? It's like they were asking for bad press. "WP8 coming to existing phones, only features missing are the ones not supported by the hardware". Isn't that what's happening, except it's called WP7.8?
Also, I used to think that blogs like Engadget and Gizmodo were very biased, but last night I made the error of reading something from cnet. Holy ****, not only are they extremely biased, but they even seem to spread disinformation deliberately. I can't help thinking that what they're doing is illegal, and I'd like to see Nokia suing their asses.
Lumias were obsoleted the moment they were put on the market as hardly anyone cares to buy them.

I really really hate to say this but i think WP is going to be big and will be something to reckon with, i hate Microsoft as much as i have always hated Rupert Murdoch just to set the record clear ok.

It doesn't lessen your statements about WP7 - both of those missing affects me directly as a programmer and as a user.

They said 18 months support, not updates. WP7.8 would count as "support".
Also, you can install iOS 5 on a 3GS which launched in 2009! that's more than 18months. Android phones are also updated to the latest ICS release which is not going to be replaced I assume until this fall so most android phones would also have 18 months or more. Not to mention a lot of Android phones have unlocked bootloaders anyway so you can install whatever you like.
Android is a POS fragmented OS...I remember waiting for the updates until I finally rooted and cianogened it, even then it was lagged out. ICS will be delivered to certain phones, during the exact same time the next version will be released for the new phones. Laggy crap.

fact is: wihtout IBM's order, they would have disappeared just like Seattle Computers Products, the actual creator of QDOS / 86-DOS, did.
the only reason they (still) exist is because (not even) their crappy product was sold with every XT/AT/PC & they got some license fees;
not going to happen on the mobile market.
on the contrary...
«WHAT?!? a m$ product ? i'll take anything else!»
>¦-)))))))))))))
EDIT: worst is, if that @$$O of Flop hadn't soiled NOKIA's name with his m0#0nic statements, the same thing that happened on the computer market (m$ become the de facto standard because they were sold on every IBM XT/AT/PC, back then the largest IT company in the world) could have happend on the mobile phone market
consumers would have bought m$ just by buying NOKIA out of routine, without even thinking about it
good enough a reason for Bllamer to always look so angrily @ Flop ¦-))))))))))))))))))))))))
