Well, yeah. When Windows XP 64-bit was release, there were very few 64-bit applications too. It will take time.

This would (given they didn't completely screw something up) be a near-perfect budget phone if it weren't for the lack of rear camera flash and notification LED... :/ By which, of course, I mean it has a removable battery and expandable storage.

True, but it makes no sense that a new platform would need time before native software is even possible. AFAIK no one can do anything with it even if they wanted to on Android.
