Fully agree with your point of view.

For a while WP devices actually had more market share than iPhone on some European countries, because they were the only affordable alternative to Android.

With all these missteps they managed to drive both the consumers that enjoyed WP, and Windows developers that had fun coding apps for it.

I have this gut feeling that since Windows 10 tablets and hybrids are actually more successful than Android based ones, they would like to try a "mini-tablet" that can make phone calls.

But they burned us so many times, that most likely it will be UWP apps that happen to run on such "mini-tablet" by accident, than being made explicitly for it.
