Microsoft is not messing around when it comes to spending money to promote the new Windows Phone 7. According to the New York Post reports global corporate titan Microsoft has allocated over $500 million for both the Windows Phone 7 and for the Xbox 360 Kinect. That’s over $1 billion dollars (pinky up to my lips with my Dr. Evil stare)!!! Seems like Microsoft is at war with Nintendo’s Wii, Sony’s Playstation 3, the Iphone and Adroid all at the same time. Ahhh smells like a price war will follow and we can all afford some new and really cool toys! Let’s face it though. Microsoft is the worldwide leader for software. No one really comes close. They are super smart by making their software communicate with other devices running other forms of Microsoft software. The Windows Phone will be able to communicate with Xbox Live and Zune software but with also every other Microsoft software loaded on your pc. Beyond that it will also be able to function with software created for Microsoft. Adobe announced that Acrobat X and Adobe Reader will be available for Windows Phone 7. That makes a lot of things way easier to view on your mobile device. I think 2011 will be a new era in technology across the board. With almost all facets of the tech market having big and serious players each offering their own brand of cool ideas we will all see some great tech and software advances come out. I feel that the Windows Phone 7 will make mobile devices way cooler than anything we have ever seen before.
