They are closing the gap though - they usually wait 3-5 years before they copy Apple ...

That better be just the codename. If you go to market with a similar name as one of the most gimmicky and overpriced catalogs out there, you're setting yourself up for ridicule.

Apple came with its app store, Android is planning of having its own, so there was no question in my mind that Microsoft had to take the same path. I have been emphasizing many times that competition drives innovation and this is exactly what is happening now. Nokia is not very known for its app store and therefore appilication development is mainly focused on iPhone, MS Mobile and BlackBerry.
