Windows Phone 7: Less Out of Touch, More in the Know



A few days ago, Windows launched it's new phone: Windows Phone 7
This is supposed to be a fresh start after what happened to Windows Mobile. Windows Mobile was never really successful. Now we can all celebrate as the latest smartphone dominates the market. As Windows says, Less stop and stare more glance and go!





The Windows phone has live tiles created so you can glance at your phone and learn the information you were looking for. It will have an app store, but that is not their main focus. Like game-center for iPhone, Windows will use Xbox live for gaming on this device. Another saying is __. It looks like Windows phone is made so that you won't get addicted to it. I have to admit, I get stuck on my iPhone and look like a nerd walking around with it all day. It has mobile versions of Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer, and Xbox live. There are currently 5 models of the phone. They are available on AT&T and T-mobile. Next is an overview of each phone.
