Speculating On What a Microsoft Superphone Might Mean
smitty777 writes "Forbes is running an intriguing story on a new 'Superphone' under development by the folks at Microsoft. According to this leaked MS roadmap document, the plan is to build the Apollo-based phone in the 4th quarter of 2012. FTA: 'In the end, however, none of this matters. Microsoft's "peek into the future" is barely a glimpse into what the company may or may not have planned for 2012.

At best, it indicates that Microsoft wishes to compete with Apple by offering a product that is, well, super.' It's also interesting that Sony and AT&T also appear to be working on superphones of their own."

As an Android user, i can tell you without a doubt, Android has no polish.
Why would he need to be paid? It's a good product. My son's iPhone and wife's Android device look primitive in comparison to my WP7. I've only got 50,000 apps to sift through, but that will improve, I think.
