Today’s announcement marks the culmination of an 18-month buildup during which time Microsoft has been working with its partners to “bring consumers a different kind of phone.” > > Windows Phone 7 enables people to find what they care about most, more easily than on any other mobile device. Specifically Windows Phone 7: > > - Is built around you. People are ready for a different phone experience and Microsoft built Windows Phone 7 not around apps, but around the way people want technology to support their lives. Less stop and stare, more glance and go; less searching, more finding; less clutter, more clarity. > - Fuels new experiences. Windows Phone 7 represents many firsts in the mobile industry such as the Xbox LIVE integration. With a blockbuster list of game titles from award-winning publishers, the phone marks a new era in mobile gaming. > - Provides a whole new opportunity for developers. With leading developers and ISVs in Singapore embracing Silverlight and the XNA Framework, the new Windows Phone 7 application development platform enables a rich ecosystem for developers to create the next generation of applications and games.
