Any plans to add winphone7 version now that it's mango time??
Not until it gains significant marketshare. Supporting Android/iPad/iPhone is enough to keep me busy for now =)

When iOS became popular, developers spilled the beans left and right about how successful they were, causing a landslide of competition and a massive goldrush. I think Android devs with success realized this and have decided it's better for business just to shut up.
I think this is silly. Android download info is public (the range anyway). You can just go to the android market and easily see that the top apps are making quite a bit of money.
One of our games was making very similar numbers for about 4 months, then a competitor, a talented college kid, decided he would make a game really similar to ours and put it out there for free. Not even with ads.
Over the next 4 months, we saw sales drop to about 1/5 of what we were making in our good months. He has out-ranked us and doesn't seem to have any interest in making much money tho he as since put in an ad that shows up upon a game-over.

I have to disagree, even though they have to rebuy it he has already had a year to build up a user-base.

I'm just saying that you may have made a monster mistake by posting your numbers.

From my experience most successful entrepreneurs don't worry about competitors that much. They just focus on building the absolute best product they can.

Can you expand on that? What are the issues?
One I can think of now: It doesn't tell you when someone with prior versions of the OS tries to download something you built with too high of a deployment target. This happens so often right now with the Verizon iPhone versioning being <4.3.
