John Gruber, we expect better posts from you.

On Monday, February 15, 2010, Microsoft announced their new platform for mobile devices, Windows Phone 7 Series. This was at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. The internet, since then, has been full of positive reviews of the platform.

Being one of those guys who got an early preview of the platform, I can tell you that it is a very good effort. Not better than the best out there, but certainly an impressive effort.

However, John Gruber, on his popular blog Daring Fireball, has this to write about it:
What a great product name. Not a mouthful at all.
Yes, we know it is not such a good name, but instead of just saying that, you could have at least said a couple of things about the platform, good or bad. Positive reviews encourage the folks building it and bad reviews highlight the areas to improve. It also makes for an article worth reading.

Over the years you have written lots of good posts; this one isn't one of them. We have come to expect better from you. Please do not let us down.
