Release Date: Microsoft’s Next Big Step with Windows Phone 7

July 9, 2010MicrosoftNo Comments

Microsoft has come a long way to prove that the Windows Phone 7 operating system is far more than the stiff and hard to use platform that the Windows Mobile OS was. And since they have first revealed the new system at the MWC, they have been able to convince a vast majority of people in the tech industry.

Now, all they need is the big reveal.

Microsoft has been sitting in a position below Apple and Google in the mobile phone industry and the computer giant seems to have had enough of playing third place. With the Windows Phone 7, they intend to show the industry that they have the right system to change the way people use smart phones. From what we have seen in the tech demos, it is easy to believe that Microsoft might just be right.

The new OS sports features that have never before been used in other handsets. The ability to transfer an app or a game from the smart phone to a computer –directly, has never been done before. In fact, this could change the way people treat daily work. The Xbox Live Games is one thing, but being able to continue progress in an app is one thing, and so far, they have only limited the application of the technology to this.

If they make this applicable to Microsoft’s Office software and other features –they can create an entirely new user experience. Outside of gaming, phones can start to be seen as real complements to desktop computers in terms of work.

According to recent reports, the new OS is expected to come out a full month ahead of schedule. September is the expected launch date for the first handsets that will be using the new platform –such as the LG Panther and the HTC Gold/Mondrian. HTC have had success with their HTC Desire and HTC Wildfire handsets which use the Google Android platform, so it will be interesting to see what they can come up with for Windows Phone 7.

New LG Smart Phone for WP7

March 2, 2010LG1 Comment

While it may seem a little early, LG has already confirmed that it is not just working on the first Windows Mobile 7 device, but they are pretty much deep in progress now. Recent reports show images of the new phone and speculations regarding its features.

First off, the facts; we do know from last week that the new series will be set into three various chassis types. While the keyboard layout was not number 1, it was definitely number 2. The images of the new LG Panther clearly show a smart phone that is ready to pounce –or not. It is actually a little boring. None of the hard edged stylishness seen on the XPERIA series from Sony Ericsson or even the futuristic look of the Motorola DROID is present on the Panther.

The only thing visually pleasing about the new phone is its keyboard. The slide out QWERTY keyset shows some pretty nice textures. Of course, it is pretty hard to tell what kind of feedback they give -and that usually spells out whether users will be able to manage typing well on it or not. At least the keys look evenly spaced and raised to a curved form for a more comfortable typing experience.

The new device is pretty slim despite its smart phone form. While this means that it will be really slim when you expand the phone, at least it will be easy to store and move around with.

WP7 uses a new screen setup that bleeds off the rest of the menu on a touch screen display. Users will be panning around to customize and focus on contents –even better, the new Tiles system gives what the widget cannot: a fully customizable box.
