I'm sorry I don't get it. Microsoft isn't a hardware company, so there's no reason to start "diversifying" and "segmenting". Windows Phone 7 seems absolutely awesome. They need to just stick to that. As a 15 year old girl, this still ranks way way below an iPhone, Droid, or even gasp a palm pre. They should have just saved this type hardware (which seems pretty decent) for when they launch the Windows Phone 7 stuff. So now MSFT has:
-winmo 6.5 (which they're keeping) and is horrible
-KinOS (I don't know what this is supposed to do)
-Win Phone Series 7 Series Seventh Windows Phone- Which looks awesome, has developers excited, and will require OEMs to ship quality hardware.
Just concentrate on the last one please.
- qeorge 17y agoI took this as a follow-up to the Sidekick, which is one of those devices that is way more popular than I'd ever realized. I think there is a real market here, that's distinct from iPhone-like smartphones. As to whether or not Microsoft should be in this market, I'd have to agree with you that it seems like a distraction.
- awa 17y agoAre you an 15yr old girl??? Your website shows a much older guy :P Microsoft has made a point to make this phone totally unlike iPhone with the Physical keyboard and Smaller form-factor and even going with Verizon rather than AT&T and the first two might attract the younger crowd.
- jacquesm 17y agoThe gods of moderation seem to have it in for you! Microsoft has been a hardware company ever since they produced the apple IIe z80 soft card, followed by mice, keyboards, mp3 players game consoles and so on. For the most part their hardware showings have been sub-par but every now and then they get it right.
