Windows Phone 7

Microsoft launched its press conference on Monday 2010 at Mobile World Congress.

Major announcements to be made were;

1.Introduction to Windows 7 mobile

2.X-box live and Zune  were integrated into windows 7 phones.

3.Carrier partner include AT&T mobiles,T-mobiles USA,Sprint, Verizon, Deutch Telcom, Orange, Telecom Italia, SFR, Telefonica, Telstra, and Vodafone. OEM partners include Dell, HTC, Garmin-Asus, HP, LG, Samsung , Sony Ericsson, Toshiba.

Windows Phone 7 came together in about 12 months, though a hard reset of the OS started about two years ago. When creating Windows Phone 7, the team focused on visual design and creating a more integrated experience for the user. Interestingly, OEM partners will be able to customize the user experience but won’t be able to replace it. In other words, you won’t be seeing the likes of HTC Sense on future Windows phones. Microsoft wants the same user experience on all its phones.
The design team created Windows Phone 7 on a number principles, including user typography, elegance and simplicity, authentically digital, motion, and developing a mobile OS that’s clean, light, open and fast.
Windows Phone 7 has a chromeless UI, meaning that you no longer have borders or a Start button. Microsoft stripped everything it believed the user didn’t need and only present the content you want.
The OS looks completely different from Windows Mobile but will probably look familiar to Zune HD user interface. The Start page now features dynamic tiles that are constantly updated and can be rearranged to your liking.
By swiping or panning to the right of the Start page, you get a list of all your apps.
Microsoft is not talking about multi-tasking today, though it did say the phones will have the ability to play music in the background while you’re working in other apps.
The company is also not officially commenting on Flash support, though Adobe announced on Sunday that it is working closely with Microsoft to bring Flash to future Windows phones. However, it most likely won’t be ready by the time the phones ship during the holiday season.
