Windows Phone 7 Series - Innovation Too Late?

Windows Phone 7 Series is going to debut by this fall, and already questions are swirling about how Microsoft will go about tackling the hurdles of Android and the iPhone. Can they dethrone these two powerhouses in the smartphone realm and reclaim their title as the king? While some may say Microsoft has a partial advantage from knowing the smartphone business, they've clearly been out of step with their customer base for far too long. Companies like Research In Motion have superseded companies like Palm in claiming the enterprise base. Companies like HTC (a Microsoft partner) are even delivering more Android-based phones than Windows Mobile phones, prompting a little of a royalty move from Microsoft. Windows Mobile is not the champion is used to be and, sad to say, this may be Microsoft's last stand in the smartphone sector. Only time will tell if their new "savior" product will be enough to withstand the storm that is 'a brewin. Stay tuned.
