Not necessarily free, but readily available. Most developers don't mind paying for development tools as long as they know they will have a decent return on investment.
I just can't see how that would happen given the shear amount of devices out there running Android and the available access to the software by most manufacturers.
It would be nice, maybe. I am not a developer but I guess making it available to develop on any platform may increase API-affinity. But if people truly wanted to create WP apps, they would find a way.
I dont think this will be a reality simply because there ae so many other options available right now than windows. Windows stand right at the bottom according to me with the features compared to others.
I think an incentive would be to make a HIT. And be one of the first to truly do so. As with all things tech, people always wait for AFTER something is big then oversaturate the market. If you stay innovative and have some foresight, there can be great things. But if everyone continues to only focus on iOS and Android, you will see what happens.
Yeah, windows seems very perfect choice for Nokia application. But not yet a close to iOS, we cant rule Android out completely. Nokia's latest design with 41-megapixel an eye catching selling point to rival Andorid phones? May be smartphone market pendulum swings towards the Finnish icon, a time playing game.

Peter Drucker famously said "Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window." Yet in the razor's-edge world of electronics—with a lean supply chain and just-in-time demands—the need to know the future is vital.
You've heard the saying "the No. 1 supply chain risk is your people." That hasn't always been the case. But today's complex global supply chain requires a new type of multitalented employee. It's one who understands, finance, marketing, economics, is savvy with technology, graceful with relationships and can think analytically.
Where are these people? Are universities properly preparing the next generation supply chain professionals? How do train your existing workforce for these new, demanding positions?
Brian Fuller, editor-in-chief of EBN, will lead a 60-minute Avnet Velocity panel discussion that will ask and answer these and other questions swirling around today's supply-chain talent challenges.
