As you all have probably heard Microsoft has introduced Windows Phone 7, I this post I am going to cover some of the Hardware. Since Microsoft has gotten serious about Mobile phones (FINALLY) they have set certain specifications for their hardware. "Those Companies that are serious about Software should make their own Hardware" -The Father of Software.
First lets take a quick look at the bueatiful device we saw at the WMC:
Heres a list of features we can expect in the Windows Phone 7 Series:
- Large WVGA screen with a single aspect ratio (which means BlackBerry-style devices won't be readily available to begin with)
- Five specific hardware buttons required: Start, back, search (a dedicated Bing button), camera button, and power -- no more, no less
- Capacitive multitouch
- CPU and GPU requirements (beginning with Qualcomm's Snapdragon as the go-to processor)
- WiFi
- AGPS
- Accelerometer
- FM radio
- High resolution camera
So as you can see it is a beauty. But, thats not the point the point is Microsoft finally in the game, with a revamped OS and GOOD hardware that is NOT allowed to contain crapy features like resistive touch screens. In the future I hope that we will see some awesome devices! However, this is not enough to make me give up Android or my Nexus.
