Introducing the new Windows 7 Phones

Hey Folks,

Here's the latest news on the Windows 7 Phones that were launched recently. Even though, Microsoft made comparisons to their latest release of the OS to Google's Android OS, users who got to experience the new Windows 7 Phones had something entirely different to say.

Even though the new Windows phones were created a huge buzz with their social integration, it seems that they have infact taken a step back when it comes to performance and other basic features.

The launch of the Windows 7 Phones saw a huge grey area when it came to performance. Even though the devices are supporting high performance hardware, it seems that the phones are quite laggy and they are still pretty much using the grid touchscreen interface from the PDAs of 1990. Another major hiccup that users noticed with these phones is their inability to read SD cards other than those provided with the phone.

Now, I'm no expert and hopefully microsoft doesn't take any offense to this but aren't they seriously lacking when it comes to publicizing their products and then delivering those so called statements from their publicity campaigns?

Until next time folks.
Cheers ;)

Android Power???

It's just October but 2010 has seen a massive increase in the number of Android powered phones from manufacturers such as HTC, Motorola, Samsung etc. While these manufacturers are all part of the Android empire, one thing that the are keeping up with is the update of technology to their nifty mobile phones. Be it in the form of a small projector on the phone or the capability of recording HD video @ 30fps.

With these varying degrees of hardware on Android powered devices, one has to wonder if the days of Apple, Windows Mobile, Symbian or Blackberry are long gone. Some believe this to be true and most individuals have already jumped onto the Android bandwagon calling it a shining piece of individuality in a world of oh-so-similar phones.

However, in the opinion of this humble writer, Google still has a long way to go before it can compete with the e-mail service of Blackberry, the marketing strategy of Apple or the sheer mass of Symbian based devices.

One might ask here why I forgot to mention Windows mobile in the comparison. I think that for the comparison to be a precise one, I will need to wait for the launch of Windows Phone 7 devices in the upcoming weeks.

Until then, keep an eye out for the various new features that may be released on these operating systems. (I believe we need to keep an eye out on upcoming Android based tablets and the much anticipated Android OS 3.0)

Cheers
