Microsoft Wants You to Give Windows Phone a Chance Nov 30th 2011, 23:24 By Stephen Cleary on November 30th, 2011 0 Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic. Microsoft is three years behind the competition and is trying to erase consumers bad memories of previous devises. A few weeks back they built a giant Windows Phone in New York's Herald Square, and earlier this week they launched a cheeky HTML5 based mobile site that invites Android and iPhone users to sample its Windows Phone OS. By visiting http://aka.ms/wpdemo you will be tunneled into a web based emulation of Windows Phone. The demo, which works surprisingly well, allows you to tap and swipe your way through some Windows Phone apps, such as messaging and e-mail. Interaction is limited to pre-programed demos and you don't get the full experience of Live Titles, for instance. Still, I think this is a great idea from Microsoft. Especially as a way to convince people that 7 isn't 6.5. Will it convince me to drop my iPhone for a Microsoft device? — No. What do you think of the Windows Phone demo? Thanks to Wittgensteinian Alex C. for the pointer. Stephen Cleary Afternoon news contributor for iPhoneinCanada.ca. Follow on Twitter @stephenbcleary.
