In an attempt to shake up the already turbulent mobile phone market, Microsoft unveils the moderately anticipated Windows Phone 7 . The big question is….Does it really stand a firm ground against the likes of the iphone (or otherwise, ipad mini) and the Google Nexus?
Microsoft decided to adopt a slightly varied approach to its design and user interface compared to the Apple iphone and its league of second graders. Microsoft deliberately wanted to get away from icons and this notion that all behaviors get the same size button on the home screen, and you definitely get more of a sense of priorities here: Entertainment, social networking, photo sharing—those matter, and oh yeah, here’s a phone if you need a call, and here’s a browser if you need that too.
It’s hard to tell from looking at this stuff, but much of it is customizable, including almost everything on that home screen.
