Windows Phone 7
Today was the day for the big Windows Phone 7 announcement and we've marked our calendar to get our hands on one of the new shiny devices. For me, whether the phone is a winner or an "also ran" is not important. The focus of windows Phone 7 is to make it so you aren't spending your life heads down fiddling with the thing. Get in, get out, and get back to the real world. I'd say it's about time, but it's also a big call. We will see if they have been successful. In any event, keep your eyes open for our Windows Phone 7 competition.
See the Windows Phone ad.
