Microsoft Launch Windows Phone on Android and iOS + Sales News

Thumbnail

Posted on Windows 7 News & Tips In what can only be considered a very clever move, Microsoft have launched a Windows Phone emulator for Android phones and iPhones that runs in the handset’s web browser.  The emulator which can be found by pointing your smartphone at http://aka.ms/wpdemo  seems to run quite effectively as tested by Engadget  and uses your phone’s data to show you what your life would be like in Windows Phone instead. As a way of providing a try before you buy experience it’s certainly a good one, though obviously not the whole operating system experience is simulated.  Certainly the phone functions, calendar and messaging features work which is enough to give people a good idea how and why they might like Windows Phone. How popular this will be and how many people will actually prefer Windows Phone after using is remains to be seen.  The opportunity to try the Windows Phone OS on your own handset and in your own time however is both very compelling and very clever, and the fact that it’s just a website you visit and not an app gets around further barriers for Microsoft.  In all, the company frankly ought to be applauded for doing something genuinely innovative for a change.

That certainly would add some confusion (where is the mouse pointer) but also reduce mouse movement throughout the day.
