Patent threat means developers are pulling their apps from the US app stores

This is why it won't really matter in the end of Microsoft will push for getting patent fees from Android manufacturers. They will simply start selling Android phones in USA, and to spite them they will use WebOS in USA.

This way, Microsoft won't get anything - neither money from patents, nor from their own mobile OS.

Whilst I'm not pulling, for a couple of months I've decided not to push them there.

This whole cloud of uncertainty needs to go away.
