No Windows phone can compete with Android (or iOS elsewhere)

Phone Windows will, without doubt, cool integration with Exchange, sharepoint and office web applications. I saw the demos. Really, it is a lot. but there is too little, too late. Our friends on to ZDNet Asia suggest that "Microsoft [is] 'more than capable' of rival iPhone, Androids". I beg to differ.

Article quoted an analyst who was skeptical but really missed the point:

"All ingredients are present, but Windows 7 phone successful if Microsoft can bring these in a stable package, high performance, the analyst said."

Nonsense - It all depends on if someone gives a shit if their phone works on Windows and it is super happy to play nice with an ecosystem of Microsoft. Few people know or care that phenomenal run a stripped version of Mac OS, and very little realze they are running Linux when they buy android. It is phone, functions, applications and all meet that grabs users on the network.

Now that the iPhone and Android are serious business, success largely forced by the worker's request, phone Windows can barely reach pertinence.Windows may remain on the dominant enterprise desktop operating system and Office 2010 may continue to rock out loud. SharePoint can even give a great collaboration platform. But if RIM has taught us something with their struggles, is that the phone is now much more integral part of everything we do, instead of simply being a communication or email platform.This is one important when anywhere extension of our digital lives, who arrived on the net, negating the need for a phone more enterprise

XBox integration will make important? Perhaps, but which is usually an attractive limited démographique.iPhone reached a considerably broader demographic than XBox Live. Android transcends (but to a lesser extent than iOS) demographics for features in the operating system and the phones impressive OEM that have become behind Android.

Windows phone will be or were provided by ecosystem also tight, tight, transparent, experience seamless Apple, nor it will have the customization and flexibility of Android.It will be the Windows brand behind it, but this does not mean that he used pour.Personnes are much more épousai to their phones as their PC, leaving the Windows phone in cold.

Perhaps more importantly, while the Windows phone could do some real business, where the integration of SharePoint already seems fairly convincing, especially for mobile workers, incursions Redmond tries to be at all the Xbox Live monde.Intégration is not a point of sale of the company and players serious would be rather on a console instead of trying to rank for achievements on their phones.In addition, games for iOS and Android are very good.Where is that leaves phone Windows? A highly capable mobile OS with constitutionally entrenched, users shall passionate others just as (if not more) capable phones.

Go ahead, ask a user to iPhone if they would abandon their iPhone to a .j Windows ' sugar vous.Utilisateurs Android are not ready to give up their operating system or mobile hardware either, although many surprisingly will ship with an iPhone if pass it is live on the network at & t.

Seriously, you want to consumers, we will have a new XBox (not just one a diluent with e.Groups accessories Wii) Microsoft... if .If you want to do business, keep the break by the excellent software desktop and server (with Office 2010, Windows 7, SharePoint 2010, Server 2008 and Exchange 2010, I can say with a straight lines completely face) .Mobile belongs to Apple and Google.
