Microsoft WP7 Is Not Designed For Tablet

Speaking at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference, division president for the Windows Phone Andy Lees believes that consumers want to do everything on a PC tablet. "And we see as a tablet PC," he said as quoted by TG Daily.


One Microsoft executive said Windows Phone 7 (WP7) is an operating system (OS) specifically for smartphones and is not designed for tablets.

Jadi katanya, berjalan WP7 pada tablet dapat memicu 'konflik' dengan preferensi konsumen serta strategi mobile Microsoft. Menurut Lees, Windows 8 - yang mendukung ARM dan x86 - diharapkan untuk mendorong adopsi tablet Microsoft dalam waktu dekat

Lees also said that PCs, tablets and mobile phones will eventually be together in an 'integrated ecosystem', as it echoed Steve Ballmer believes that Windows will be present in every device everywhere without compromise.

Although the future of WP7 is still unclear, some analysts speculated that the evolution of the OS will be gradually eliminated and replaced by Windows a versatile 8.

While other analysts from Gartner and IDC believes, WP7 combination with the Nokia device is the potential to become the number two mobile platforms in the mobile phone market share in 2015
