Well, the actual launch is getting close, anyone here looking at a Windows Phone 7 phone? (Gah, even the shortened name still seems awkward, guess I should use device instead)

I'm still pretty curious to see how the phone works in person, but I don't see myself owning one. I doubt Microsoft is going to bring any of the sync software to the Mac, and even if the phone is the next best thing, it's not going to be good enough to drag me away from OS X.

Google appears to already be concerned about it, based on comments they have made. Seems odd to me to make a comment like "the world doesn't need another platform". The same could have been said back when Android (pre iPhone era) was just another platform to compete against RIM, the old Windows Mobile, the old Palm OS, and Symbian as a business smartphone.
