Handsets running on the Windows Phone platform have been very popular recently. Helping push sales are their ability to integrate completely with an exchange account, an amazing turn-by-turn navigation app and a beautiful WVGA screen. There are other features aimed at entertainment such as Xbox LIVE compatibility and what they call Live Tiles.
Microsoft sent out a tweet from their @windowsphone twitter account linking to a Windows Phone demo you can access from your phone’s browser. Aimed at Apple and Android OS users:
Got a friend with an #iPhone or #Android? Now there’s a #WindowsPhone demo they can try on their mobile browser. http://t.co/tSAVz8x4
The link might work for those of you reading the article from a PC or a Mac but its highly advised that you come back with your mobile phone and click the following link to check out the demo: http://aka.ms/wpdemo
What a clever marketing strategy. I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple and Android followed suit with their own demos in the future. What Microsoft has done is given you the chance to check out their Windows Phone platform without leaving your home. Sure, it’s not a full functioning demo, but it may be enough to push you to head to a store to try the real thing.
