Windows 7 Phone

The past couple of weeks the new windows 7 phone has been advertised over and over again, trying to win over customers for the November 8th launch date, which it did by selling 40,000 of the new phones. The windows 7 phone is supposed to be changing the way people handle tasks with their phones by implementing an interface that easily connects to the most popular parts of using a phone. The windows phone is now joining the ranks of the iphone and the Google phone as the top phones in the market. Considering that the phone will be running on windows software it will hurt the android market, and more companies will try to get their employees to switch over to the more effective and highly anticipated windows phone. This is not a guarantee but most companies use Microsoft software on their computers, and having it on their phones can really only help a company. The iphone has been a customer favorite and the android has been used by business people throughout the world, and the new windows 7 phone might give people a compromise between the two different phones. The windows phone is supposed to be easy and fun to use, but it also allows for business applications due to the Microsoft software. Microsoft is already a staple for software on desktops and laptops in businesses throughout the world, and there is no reason why they cannot move onto phones. Many companies have benefited from Microsoft software in the past, and it looks like it will continue in the future. If all parts of a company can run through Microsoft software it will be more efficient for the company and probably produce returns in the future. While Microsoft basically failed in the past with the last two phones they released, this time it seems as though they have got it right. This phone will easily help businesses communicate better, and allow for information to flow through people in a company in a timely manner. Not only will people be connected at all times, people will be able to perform certain tasks that they could not have with another phone. It basically allows for people to stay fully connected with nothing but a phone. Many companies use Excel and PowerPoint, and the only phone to give full potential to these applications is the windows 7 phone. The phone will also allow you to connect to the Microsoft cloud, making things easy for people who are always on the road for a company, as ideas can be shared and spread quickly and efficiently. I personally think that the windows 7 phone will become a huge hit, especially with large companies that are trying to push themselves in the business world. I do not believe that the phone will become popular among the average person, as I think that the iphone will continue to dominate the market, however the phones easy to use interface may capture the interest of some people.
