Windows Phone 7: The Latest Sensation

When Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer unwrapped the new operating system on Monday at the present Mobile World Congress, it not only ended a much awaited ‘wanna-hear’ rumour, but it was a real feast for the drooling mouths of tech-world. We could even say, Windows Phone 7 operating system fogged the planet’s newly landed mobile phones at the event. This is an overhauled version of the before launched operating systems, which offers a better control over the hardware, with social hubs and many such features.

Microsoft Windows Phone 7 Operating System comes with a remarkable touch-friendly interface. The animated, large tiles appear pleasing to the eyes and they offer short-cuts to the most used applications. Any update happening in the apps will be displayed on the screen. This is highly beneficial, especially when you use social networking apps like Facebook. You can arrange the tiles at a drag or delete them at a touch. The whole navigation through the menu has been simplified much, just a swipe will do.

“Hubs” is another interesting concept in Windows Phone 7. This brings together all the related contents from the web and display them as a single view. There are six hubs such as people, games, pictures, marketplace, office and music. When the people hub will allow the users to interact with the people in the contact list from all apps at a single click, the picture hub will allow the user to watch the updated photographs from all app at a single place. The office hub makes Windows Phone 7 an excellent business tool. It allows several applications like presentation, synchronization of documents between mobile phones and PC, note-taking, outlook mail and so on.

Windows Phone 7 has some boastful music and video features as well. The Zune PC software for managing music and the mobile version of Xbox Live games are the two prominent ones. The ability to track the gamers’ achievement and the probability to buy more game apps from marketplace; all make Windows Phone 7 an interesting OS.

Next addition of Windows Phone 7 OS is ‘Bing Maps Beta‘. With 3D graphics, directions, live updates and street-view, it will remind you about Google maps. With hardware buttons such as home, search and back and multi-touch capability, Microsoft Windows Phone 7 takes a little control over the hardware as well. Overall, it seems to be a strong player against Apple iPhone and the mobile phones with this operating system can be expected to hit stores by the end of 2010.
