On Monday Microsoft leaked some details about their brand new smart phone, the Windows Phone 7 operating system. The phone will be available on AT&T, who co-hosted the event, and T-Mobile networks stateside beginning Nov. 8 with handsets from HTC, LG, Dell, and Samsung. I think Microsoft was smart to gain AT&T as a network for the Windows Phone 7. It will expand their potential consumers since the majority of the U.S. uses AT&T as their wirless network. Microsoft is hoping to be the next best thing for smart phone technology, but it will be interesting to see how the competition plays out between this new device and Apple's Iphone.
Chief executive officer at Microsoft Steve Ballmer said, "Microsoft and its partners are delivering a different kind of mobile phone and experience — one that makes everyday tasks faster by getting more done in fewer steps and providing timely information in a ‘glance and go’ format."
Although I am true to apple products and am obsessed with my Iphone, if this phone is really what it's cracked up to be you never know if I might just make the switch.
