Windows Phone 7 Series
One thing we took away during our time reviewing the Zune HD was how cool would it be if Microsoft put that interface into a phone. Today they've done just that with their Windows Phone 7 Series which is a complete overhaul of their phone software that takes a more lifestyle-centric approach while remaining productivity-friendly. Rather than using a convention icon-based layout, Windows Phone 7 has a more organic layout with rich animations and real-time updates based on your social media feeds and messages. The phone also takes on the full Zune music player experience and they've even thrown in a mobile version of Office for editing and sharing documents. Available Holiday 2010. Link
