On Tuesday Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced Windows Phone brand are ready to hit the market. AT&T has already announced two Windows Mobile 6.5-based phones — the Pure and the HTC Tilt 2. In all, Microsoft has said to expect more than 30 phones running the OS by year’s end.
The operating system provide Adobe Flash support and menus that are easier to navigate with a finger. Amazing thing is that Windows Mobile has more programs than the iPhone. Users can buy and download applications directly from developers. However ms want to mimic the apple’s app store. By the way, Windows phone provide “Find My Phone” service only $5 per use. (Comparatively Apple’s iPhone-finding service requires a $99-per-year).The service can be used to locate a missing phone, make it ring (even if it is set to vibrate) or even remotely lock or wipe the device.
I think this trial is the challenge to all of the smart phone market such as blackberry, i-phone. When I use my friend’s i-phone, It was very comfortable but It’s kind of similar as normal phone. I don’t have experience about using windows phone, but we really need new generation phone. I think using adobe through the phone is cool. And finding my phone fuction also exactly what i want. We can use smart phone only in private purpose. Because, there are three monopoly telecom company occupied mobile market in korea. I really pray that as soon as possible the day will come that all korean can use windows phone.
