Microsoft launches Windows smartphones : My view on it

Microsoft is in a battle to reincarnate its dinosaur mobile OS with launch of its own smartphone.The phones, which combine the ability to make calls, surf the internet and view videos, carry Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system.I know you will go like Hey don't we already have that. Don't you think it is too little too late !!! The smartphone market is already saturated with lots of different OS and the major ones like Apple's iPhone system, Plam OS, Google's Android (which is a free platform) and Symbian OS. The new venture Microsoft is attempting is just a desperation to gain market that it already lost to big guys like Google and Apple. In a official launch Mr. Ballmer said "We have taken the Internet Explorer browser technologies, and we rebuilt them for the first time for these Windows phones. So you can get the same experience on these phones that you will get on your windows PC." (Hey watch out, The Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD) is coming to your smartphones !!!) Is that the way you promote your technology. A reincarnated IE ??? Lets face it IE is no where near the facilities provided by other browsers like Mozilla Firefox and with the new kid on the block called Crome which is improving at a speed of light (Well that is an exaggeration but you know what I mean !!!). Microsoft needs to come up with something new that is authentic and that can make others to follow it rather than just trying to get the market that is already saturated. Get a life Microsoft and you really needs some great minds to think of products Mr. Ballmer !!!
