How to Demo Windows Phone 7 Right On Your iPhone or Android
|Microsoft is way behind Apple in the OS department, and they know it. The platform recently fell below 2% in overall smartphone marketshare.
The company has come up with a creative marketing ploy to attract users of other platformto its mobile OS: an interactive website. The page fully immerses visitors into the Windows Phone UI.
Simply enter http://aka.ms/wpdemo in the mobile browser of your iPhone or Android device, and you’ll be taken to a web version of Windows Phone. You can scroll through multiple features that are on Windows Phone and see what its like to own one.
Interaction is limited to Microsoft’s pre-programmed demos, so you don’t get the full experience of Live Tiles — one of Windows Phone’s best features.

Sweet I was hoping this would get posted here. I gave it a spin and it does feel very Zune like. I do like the interface. Still not sold though cant wait to try out a ice cream sandwich device. Mainly due to app price and availibilty. I am liking gingerbread on my touchpad so galaxy nexus will probably be my next phone.
Good lord… what’s all the hype about?! That’s the most aggravating interface I’ve ever used.
