I agree with the quality over quantity strategy. I don't really think its the apps that are holding WP7 back its the platform.
MS needs to step into high gear on pushing the platform itself forward faster to catch up with the others.
Publishing the rollout schedule is a good move and they should keep it up on every release cycle. Its good to shame the carriers to let the updates go.
I don't think it was a coincidence that NoDo started pushing out after MS put up the status page.
