Microsoft to Completely Redesign Windows Phone

Microsoft to Completely Redesign Windows Phone

Mobile phone market is the most competitive one in the World now. To compete and catch up with rivals, Microsoft has decided to bring a complete redesign for Windows Phone. We have seen that slightly increase after Windows Phone Mango was introduced to the market but the number is still far behind Apple iOS and Google Android.

According to Joe Belfiore, one of the first engineers brought to the new Windows Phone team when it was formed:

“Apple created a sea change in the industry in terms of the kinds of things they did that were unique and highly appealing to consumers. We wanted to respond with something that would be competitive, but not the same.”

It was first started since 2008 that Microsoft started to redesign mobile phone operating system and of course result till 2010 was not so good that we can see lesser attractiveness of phone users around the World. Microsoft needs to do more serious change to catch up with iOS and Android.
