The Mobile World Congress 2010 shows Microsoft releasing windows 7 in Barcelona.All euphoria that was created around it,s release,it lived up to it,s expectations.The windows 6.5.3 that was released after release of windows 6.5 doesn,t got that much attention possibly because other OS like IPhone,RIM already were far better then them.
Microsoft has finally tried to be innovative with it,s interface,which could also be seen in windows 6.5 where they started using widgets right at the front screen but windows mobile 7 seems far better.The Start experience is completely revamped, now focusing on sets of tiles which represent links to applications or contacts.
Iphone with it,s capacitive screens and innovative interface have always charms the users ,but seems Microsoft is up to the challenge this time.
Also Integrating ZUNE ,Xbox LIVE , and improved social networking tool makes all sound very interesting ,but lets keep the finger crossed until we have any device(possibly HTC is going to come up,LG is also coming up) in market.Another thing that any windows user would like to know that whether they would be able to upgrade their windows 6.5 to windows 7.
Be interesting if it works with the imate. Despite a lack of memory, it's still a fantastic phone, even after 5 years! I'm interested to see what Microsoft came up with as well. Despite their popularity, I've never described them as innovative.
ReplyDeleteWell Damien they have been at times but in this competitive era their pace i too slow. In the long-term mobile OS marathon, it’s now short dashes, rhythm breaks and explosions of pace that seem to define success, at least on the short term, but guaranteed to also impact the evolution of OS vendors in the long run.
ReplyDeleteAnd for the time being, the software giant continues to move so slow that it’s in danger of coming too close to being pushed to the periphery of the mobile-OS market.
A primary reason I moved to Linux - it's so under-rated. I'd love to have Kubuntu on my Jasjam instead of the stock ROM!
