Microsoft Windows Phone 7 XBox Live

http://www.techlicious.com/review/first-review-of-windows-phone-7/ Microsoft set out to redefine the smartphone on Tuesday with the introduction of Windows Phone 7—and succeeded to a large degree. The phones were attractive and diverse, the Windows Phone 7 operating system handled all the smartphone basics well, and in some cases admirably. The apps were largely missing, though Microsoft assures us that there will be plenty at launch, though not the quantity of Apple's iOS 4, Android or even Blackberry.

So leaving aside the questions regarding apps, what makes Windows Phone 7 different from its competition? It starts, appropriately enough, on the Start screen where the customizable app tiles contain usable information rather than just a pretty icon. And deeper in, it works to bubble up useful information and functions that cross app lines.

Windows Phone 7 anticipates your next move and provides an easy means of getting there. For instance, in the calendar you can move from an appointment to a map of the meeting location to driving directions without actively changing apps. When you look up a contact, you can see their latest status updates and even comment right there and have it post back to Facebook. And the camera is always one button push away—even when the phone is locked and in standby. After taking those spontaneous shots, you can share them right from the preview screen or set the phone to post all your photos to an online account automatically.

The XBox Live tile connects you to your Xbox Live avatar and friends, but also serves as a single destination for all games. Emily Blair of Microsoft walks us through XBox Live and gaming on a new Windows Phone 7 device.
