One big question in my mind is whether we should stick to Windows Phone or move to iPhone. Here is my list of advantages.

iPhone
•	(+) Much larger addressable market
•	(+) The platform is more developed. Pradeep and I have spent some time looking at what we can realistically do on Windows Phone. It looks like we can’t get access to the stream for the user’s music collection. This prevents us from analyzing BPM on the fly, or doing fading between songs, lining up the beats between songs, speeding songs up/down/
•	(-) More crowded space

Windows Phone
•	(+) First to market
•	(+) Potential support from Microsoft
