Microsoft is making it a habit to surprise me when it comes to Windows Phones. After years of frustration with the power user-centric Windows Mobile OS, Microsoft managed to put out a viable, consumer-based smartphone operating system aimed at the general public. Indeed, the tile system used in the OS has proven popular enough that […]

LG Breaks Up With Windows Phone

I never thought I’d say this, but I’m starting to feel bad for Microsoft. Despite all the effort the company puts into pushing Windows Phone 7, the people who make the hardware it needs to live don’t seem to be behind them.

Microsoft Makes It Easier To Try Windows Phone 7

Mordechai Osdoby — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 20:30:18 +0000

Switching phone operating systems is a huge deal. Odds are you’re already vested in an existing ecosystem. When I switched to webOS, I had to give up all the apps I’d purchased for Windows Mobile and PalmOS. Now that I’m switching again, I have that same sting. It’s one of the things that keeps people […]

Reuven Shechter — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:33:23 +0000

NetMarketShare, an internet statistics firm, announces each month the breakdown of mobile web traffic between OSes.
