With Iphones and blackberries being the staple in the mobile culture, Windows phone interface was shoved aside for good reasons. The program did not appeal to users and was frankly an\u00a0embarrassment\u00a0to the company. This failure has forced Windows to re think their entire mobile OS if they wanted to stay as a competitor in mobile market. With the anticipated release of the Windows 7 mobile OS, reviews are happy to say that Windows is back in the game! The new OS is “clean, fresh, and well suited to a phone’s display.” \u00a0The phone has incorporated many other Windows applications such as Microsoft Office and Xbox Live onto their new phones. The phone also comes with several applications designed for consumers and businesses, allowing the target market to be pretty much anyone. Will this new OS become the new staple in the mobile phone market? Probably not, but it will\u00a0definitely be the\u00a0flotation\u00a0device to keep it from sinking into oblivious.<\/p>\n
