Windows Phone 7 browser aces the HTML5 drawing test

15 April, 2011
Mangoes are apparently good for mobile web browsers – the Internet Explorer 9 that comes with the Mango update for Windows Phone 7 beat the iPhone's Safari and the Android Browser at a rendering...

What I was meaning is

"No system-wide file manager
No Bluetooth file transfers
No USB mass storage mode
Limited third-party apps availability
No Flash or Silverlight support in the browser
Too dependent on Zune software for file management and syncing
No video calls
New ringtones available only through the Marketplace
Music player lacks equalizer presets
No multitasking
No copy/paste
No DivX/XviD video support (automatic transcoding provided by Zune software)
No sign of free Bing maps Navigation so far
No internet tethering support"

This is from what GSM said about the limitations. I wish they would get rid of most of these.

                      20fps on wp7 ....... And 11 fps on retail android phone .....,.. Hahaha

                      means mango comes out better than android webkit browser and the 'crappy safari'

                      the only thing wp7 really needs is a better eye candy UI like that of android

                            Please, Microsoft, juts get rid of the iOS-like restrictions and WP7 will be perfect.

                              This feature for WP7 is not just good, but great. However, I'm quite worried that some sort of techie stuffs like this one won't matter to a normal consumer. For example, here in my country, most of the people don't even care to know the specifications of a handset. They just want an easy-to-use cellular phone. That is why iPhone is very popular among consumers nowadays. Plus of course all the hype being brought by some biased websites. I'm not dropping names, but Phone@rena s*cks! Lol. Jk.

                                  Well this is the kind of results we wanna see...

                                  Looks like WM7 is going in the right path, I hope see any time soon Nokia W Series for play with this OS.

                                  Niceee!
