        - IOS GUI is old and need improvement, may b the reason Apple do not change it because everyone know how to use it frm the age 5 - 95 and some morons... Apple target all user.

        - Android is good, with all kind of customization, the only OS that can complete with IOS, may b a winner in 2 year times...

        - WP7 is shinny, awesome, but still need to turbo charge to catch up with IOS and Android, but no many morons know how to use ?

            Smart marketing but HP should have continued with their product range. Diversification is what the market wants, not just more powerful mobiles with no real advantanges.
            On that matter when the new iPhone is released will it decimate Samsung financially considering Samsung has embarked on a very risky financial strategy with very thin margins.
            Suamsung now also has to compete with a far more agressive Google / Motorola.

                      B, 20 Aug 2011Only a child would say something like this. Be cool, not fanboy.As I said before, no OS can be on top forever...

                      This market is very volatile, anyone that believes there is an "eternal" OS will suffer the same fate of Nokia/Symbian.

                      There will be new challengers every time. So, I will keep an eye very close to WP7 if I was Google or iOS, since Microsoft has the experience and the resources to take back at any time any OS Market, and WP7 can be as sucessful in Phone as on Desktop on near future if they take seriously the mobile market..

                      Be afraid of all, be very afraid :D

                        can wp7 run native desktop apps ? As in 32 bit apps or 64 maybe ? Then whats the point ? That would have made it a must have phone...running windows xp apps or vista or 7....but if it cant then its got nothing on android. Last time i checked i dont think it can even paly flash 10.1. Also your not allowed porn on it. Wtf ???

                          why do you think HP dropped Webos. so microsoft will make so much difference. me think not.

                          there is 2 successful OS, at the moment. IOS 4/5, and Android. blackberry is old news,unless your organising riots. And webos is clever but too little too late.

Ms is pretty serious ... moreFor sure we need a third aggressive player in the OS world, particularly for the mobile and tablet platforms, but I can bet it's not coming from Microsoft! I would bet on Samsung's Bada or RIM's BlackBerry OS.

There was an article just a few months ago... moreYou're talking of "a few months ago" when both the iSO and the Android have been releasing newer versions of their platforms, and of course with newer features. And whenever their platforms develop bugs the fix comes in a flash with updates, while Windows's update has to take nearly a WHOLE YEAR for an to be released! ;-(
