   I’ll readily concede that Windows Phone 7 has started out looking better   
   than Android did when it first began. But Android is evolving so feverishly,   
   I don’t think Microsoft can keep up. Even Apple is having trouble.

   Apple’s phones have already been knocked off the top of the heap by Android.
