From what little I have seen of 7 it appears to be a very clear example of Redmond copying Apple. In fact many of the limitations so many fault the iPhone for are going to be present in the new WinMo phones.
Have you even TRIED Windows Phone 7? The UI is about as far from the iPhone UI as you can get. COMPLETELY different in structure and operation. Spend 30 seconds with a Win 7 phone and you’ll realize that Microsoft is copying nothing from Apple, other than making a smartphone (which, in fact, Microsoft did for years before Apple got into the market).
And, in reality, HTC’s Touch UI was out before the iPhone, as was SPB MobileShell. Apple’s iPhone UI is very derivative of both of these UIs, yet does not have the flexibility and configurability of either.
Umm...NO!
Win Phone 7 couldn't be more different from the iPhone. The whole WP7 interface is based on tiles for example, something that the iPhone doesn't have.
Plus WP7 gaming is strongly linked to the excellent XBOX Live, something that has been in existence from as long ago as 2001, long before the iPhone even came out.
