Microsoft's new Smartphone OS
Microsoft's old mobile operating system used to be called "Windows Mobile"
Instead of bringing a desktop experience to mobile devices, Microsoft decided to totally revamp everything and build their new OS from the ground up.
They call their new interface Metro UI, and it is extraordinarily simple and intuitive to use
Big colorful "live tiles" are where you access your apps, and they also allow you to easily see notifications for new emails or text messages
Windows Phone 7 currently lacks copy and paste, and multitasking, but MS promises that these will be available in future updates
Currently version 1.0
Currently not many apps available for it
Windows Phone 7 is a complete redesign from MS's previous mobile OS Windows Mobile
