In the run about the launch of the revolutionary Windows Phone 7, Microsoft has kept targets running high with teasing reveals of the new mobile operating system that it hopes will make it a substantial competitor in the smart phone market. Some journalists have already managed to get a play with prototype devices and are applauding its unique benefits, such as the hub organisation and dynamic tile display screen. We also know this Microsoft gave specific component conditions to its handset manufacturers defining it as clear from the beginning that any new Windows Phone should have excellent specs.
However even though it's apparent that a WP7 handsets are great pieces of hardware, from the standards collection by competitors iOS4 not to mention Android it's clear that the success or failure of any modern smartphone OS depends on the strength of its apps.
What apps will come preinstalled?
You can expect WP7 in to the future ready with the concepts for smartphones 鈥? calendar, email and browser. Microsoft is also emphasising its integration with social networks and the OS's wedding celebration of steady updates out of Twitter and Facebook.
There are a couple of nice features seek out too 鈥? small things like being able to collectively email a group meeting through the calendar app with a message when you are running late.
Rather than being dumped inside of a mixed grid system, Windows Phone 7 devices such as the HTC Mozart will arrange apps in their correct 鈥榟ub' areas. Microsoft hops this will make apps easier to find, with photo apps in the photo hub and music apps while in the music hub and favourites on the home screen.

Will third party apps be available?
Third party apps are definitely offered. The platform already has plenty of support from leading software package companies. These will be offered with the Windows Phones Marketplace.
Tell me about Marketplace.
Like Apple's App Store, Marketplace is the gateway to all apps available for your phone. Microsoft has promised to try and do its best to plan the store for easy perusing and you will be highlighting new apps on a daily basis to keep you up to date.
However, with 150 000 apps available for the iPhone 4 not to mention 30 000 for Operating system the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace does certainly have some catching up to implement. Microsoft is encouraging growth by offering app development tools for nothing with developers only paying $99 when they decide to publish in the marketplace. They've also been keen to show how easy the OS is to develop for, showing onstage that a basic Twitter app may just be put together in according to ten minutes.
Will I be able to get all my favourite programs there?
Twitter and Facebook
Twitter has built its very own app for Windows Telephone 7 to specifically suit the user interface. It will support multiple accounts and let you browse through tweets without signing or being Twitter user in the first place. Full Facebook integration with your contacts list will often be standard.

If you know you're not going for any connection 鈥? on a plane or underground 鈥? you can even download playlists. To use it with your phone though you'll need a premium account and with Microsoft's Zune streaming console preinstalled free, there will definitely be some users that will switch.
