Windows Wednesday: The Zune Phone is Not Your Father's 7-Series
Barcelona's Mobile World Congress was the scene of yet another eye-popping product unveiling, but the manufacturer might be one you have ceased to associate with mobile devices. Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 Series (say that how many times fast?) was put into the hands of public for the first time with overwhelmingly positive reactions. A brand-new Mobile OS has been built to replace the beleaguered Windows Mobile platform, and the boxy, free-flowing User Interface makes the iPhone's home screen feel like a prison camp. What's more, all your favorite M$ applications are built-in, from Zune to XBOX Live, as well as Internet Explorer, Outlook and Office. With closer scrutiny of manufacturers to insure the highest quality and partnership with a number of mobile carriers (AT&T being the frontrunner, sigh) the inappropriately named Zune phone promises to bring Microsoft back into contention for the mobile crown. If you're looking to step into the post-iPhone gadget zeitgeist, nobody makes a better door than Windows.
