A handy bit of competition to keep Apple getting better.
Windows Phone OS compared with iPhone OS feels like Windows 95 compared to Apple’s OS 9. It wasn’t as good for the 10% that used Macs, but good enough for the 90% that used PCs. Less of a threat to Apple than 15 years ago because MS doesn’t have the monopoly it had then.
The UI was a bit slow, so as long as that phone costs half of the $99 iPhone, then all could be well.
Remember though that products need to be more than twice as good (user experience, value, features) for entrenched users to switch. If both Windows Phone OS and iPhone were first appearing at the same time, then Apple would have had much more of a battle on their hands.
Go Windows Phone OS!

Nice video. Thanks for getting us the first preview of this long awaited Windows Mobile…rather Windows Phone OS.
But dissapointed by knowing that there will be no support for multi-touch feature even in this version.
seems slow, browser needs to be smooth like the iphone

I’ll be looking for a new phone end of this year as I have owned a htc tytnII for 2 years (december).
Now commenting on what’s coming up from MS:
The scrolling menu is terrible … in the demo he struggled to use it.
The browser is also extremely slow. Like the flash support though.
MS really have a long way to go dont they
I already have much nicer menu navigation using spb Mobile v3 its faster and very configurable. It has managed to breathe a bit more life into the phone. Again when you hit the OS part of the UI like email you really want to throw it out the window!
I also like how he advertised copilot … its not even their product!
BTW my phone also came bundled with copilot and it’s pretty good.
Okay last rant:
Renaming Windows 6.5 to Windows Phone is not going to fool people.
Lift you Game MS!!!!!
