Apple iPhone vs Windows Phone 7
After a long time waiting, Windows Phone 7 finally unveiled at WMC 2010. The Seven is a good smartphone. But what’s the different between iPhone and Windows Phone 7? Morten had made a similar 360 phone comparison.
The lock screen is up first, and a first example of the elimination of what Tufte would call interface debris. No controls here.
To get unlock a Windows phone, simply slide the screensaver upwards with your thumb. The phone is in there, sitting behind the screensaver image.
Then, there’s the home view. The WIndows phone is dynamic. Again, I remember seeing the iPhone grid for the first time back in 2007 and couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed. “That’s it? A grid?”. The Live Tiles on the Windows Phone could have been a hint of what I may have expected to see three years ago.
