What is imo key to how successfull in the long run (!) a smartphone OS is, is the ecosystem (which includes more than the available apps) around it. Microsoft is going in the right direction with the windows live services, the integration of xbox, kinect and windows 8 with eachother in the future. If it's intuitive and simple enough then they have a good chance to increase marketshare. And if they're at the same time able to allow a certain extent of customization (e.g. I'd like to be able to turn off the adress bar in landscape mode on WP7, other might like it that way; or people want the favorites and tabs button back, others don't) they'll make even more customers happy.
And please MS get some promotion + information on why WP7 is different compared to the others started.

Android is a mobile phone operating system developed by the search provider Google. Used on a wide variety of smart phones, Android is currently the best selling mobile operating system in the world. Android is an open source OS, letting anyone develop their own software (such as applications or games) to be run on Android platforms. The Android OS is also used in tablet computers, with the latest version being Android 3.0. While the Android OS has been in use since 2008, regular updates and support for Google keeps Android the leading-edge system it is today.

ummmm... did we just get android spammed? :confused:

It's a decent article...explains how WP7 interacts with apps...which is cool...

I do have a problem with the last paragraph though:

"A few things are still missing from Windows Phone 7.5. One is the ability to take advantage of the powerful multi-core processors that are showing up on high-end phones. Another is support for LTE, the fastest fourth-generation network technology, which Verizon Wireless and, more recently, AT&T Inc. (T) have begun rolling out."

he should have added: To be fair, the Iphone 4(S) and several Android units don't have support for these features as well.

Funny how reviews always tend not to mention this fact.

4G isn't even available everywhere yet, its all still technically 3G anyway. iPhone doesn't have 4G either but they dont seem to be complaining.

Verizon has 4G LTE in lots of places but I wonder if there are tower maps because being in New York City doesn't necessarily mean you'll get good signals all over Long Island, even though the Verizon 4G LTE locale finder says you'll have good service. Same for Delray Beach if West Palm and Ft Lauderdale is listed.
