... They're really well positioned to strike, if they can just get the app quality problem solved.

How are they well positioned to strike if retailers are actively discouraging customers not to buy Win7 Phones?[1]

What does "app quality problem" mean? Is this the fault of developers? Or the Microsoft's fault for not providing the tools, etc? (Since I'm not a mobile developer, this is the first I've heard of app problems on Win7 Phones.)

Well positioned: 1) They have a constrained ecosystem which could insure that the quality experience for apps is better than the current average in android apps

2) I haven't owned a wp7 device for over a year, so I don't know where things are now, but for the months following launch, the apps were a crapshoot & expensive. There were no angry birds, no hipstamatics, etc. Twitter, Facebook & that's about it.

So the quality problem I am referring to is akin to the choice between walking into a flea market (Android), a Nordstrom (iPhone) or a jc penny (windows phone 7).
