Microsoft Windows phone in response to the iPhone

Sunday, the 08 January 2012 at 6: 22 P.m.

At the tomorrow’s 09.01.2012 exactly five years ago the iPhone has introduced within the framework of the keynote to the Macworld 2007 Apple co-founder Steve jobs of world public opinion. Years of development was preceded by the presentation of the iPhone classic. January 2007 a few months until the iPhone in the United States in the shelves arrived passed however until end of June 2007, in Germany, it was only in November 2007 as far as.

Of course watched the competition from BlackBerry, Microsoft and co. the Smartphone from the House of Apple. In an interview with the New York Times expressed these days Microsoft in the form of software Chief Joe Belfiore to matter. In short, Microsoft has the iPhone and iOS totally underrated and could only respond, rather than Act.

Microsoft delivered Windows Mobile software that ran on devices from Samsung, Motorola and some other manufacturers already, the system however was not properly durchschlagskräftig. It was just too complicated. After the launch of the iPhone Microsoft had to admit that their former system could never compete in life with iOS. Apple have managed to develop something impressive, Microsoft wanted to give an answer on it, which is competitive, without copying Apple.

Almost a year ago Microsoft and Nokia have announced a collaboration to win back market share. On the morning starting Consumer Electronics Show, or CES, more new products (e.g. the Nokia Lumia 900 with Windows phone 7) will be presented.

Already, we even had the opportunity to deal more intensively with the Nokia 800 Lumia. With this device, Nokia and Microsoft have in fact made a step in the right direction. It lies well in the hand and the user interface is for iPhone users at first getting used to, but at the same time leaves a positive impression.

ipad 22112111312111121111122 Brian Blair no iPad mini in 2012

For the year 2012, one can use an Apple iPhone 5 and also an Apple IOS 3 count, in recent weeks was again highly cooked Apple iPad mini as a theme. Because due to the imminent competition from the Amazon Kindle fire, Apple should be made the decision also to bring a smaller Tablet PC on the market to slow Amazon.

The famous market analyst Brian Blair, however, release of an iPad mini believes not in the year 2012, in particular due to the attitude of Steve jobs on the subject. It said some time ago that the 7 inch tablets had already lost as they came on the market, which is why Blair can imagine, that dare attempt from Apple, to publish an iPad mini, this goes against the principles of Steve jobs.

Yet in terms of price with Amazon to compete, you should at Apple at a significantly cheaper Apple IOS 2 set, which of course also would be a way. Anyway you can imagine that Apple will keep the Amazon Kindle fire and whose success in mind and, if necessary, respond to this. Finally you can not afford actually at Apple, to be too strong a competitor such as Amazon.
