Is Apple Being Attacked By Windows 7 Phone Teaser Ad ? Edited

As you would know, Microsoft unveiled its upcoming Windows Phone 7 OS at the Mobile World Congress at Barcelona yesterday. As part of the launch, the company released a teaser video attacking the iPhone and the other touchscreen phones, which the voice-over in the video says has resulted in a “sea of sameness”.

Though the video does not mention anything about the iPhone, it refers to the current state of smartphones where the focus has been on mobile apps instead of the phone experience itself. Taking a shot at iPhone’s lack of multitasking, the VO says unlike an app experience where the user has to go “in and out” of several apps, Windows Phone 7 lets users move seamlessly through integrated hubs which pulls in all the applications that a user needs at one place. Microsoft calls this a “new beginning” for smartphone platforms.

With Windows Phone 7, Microsoft appears to have come up with a product that can pose a genuine challenge to Apple’s iPhone OS.

With that being said, smartphones running on Windows Phone 7 are expected to be launched only by the end of this year. With the new version of iPhone OS due to be unveiled in a couple of months from now, iPhone users can expect a superior product on their hands much before the Windows Phone devices are out in the market.
