Wozniak Praises 'Beautiful' Windows Phone

Posted by timothy on from the what-does-that-guy-know? dept.

judgecorp writes "Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has praised the user interface of Microsoft's Windows Phone, saying that aspects of its user interface are more 'beautiful' than comparable sides to the iPhone. The comments, in a New Domain, follow on from a comment by Forrester boss George Colony who blogged that Apple would decline in the post-Jobs era. Both pieces have kicked off the kind of online argument you would expect."

    Apple's co-founder Steve Wozniak isn't alone with this opinion. It's been one of the most common opinions of WP7 phone users. It's true, too. Windows Phone 7 UI is beautiful and even better than iPhone's, not to mention Android. Microsoft really outdid themselves with that. Where MS has failed is to get good partners to actually make the devices as Google has tricked their way in with Android. However, that is about to change now that Nokia will be putting out quality WP7 smart phones. I know I will be getting one soon. The platform has been growing intensely lately, especially on app and developers front. C# and Visual Studio are great for developing for WP7.

      Bah.
      Yet another obvious Microsoft shill.

      As to the story: There's a reason, Woz has been an engineer and not a designer at Apple.

      Wow, that's some pretty horrible justifications there.

      Windows phone 7 is full of interesting and good ideas with poor execution and little polish.

      Sounds like every Microsoft product ever.

      Wow, a blatantly trolling comment and it gets +5 insightful. Slashdot really is the Fox News of news sites - keep the group-think alive people, what's the worst that can happen!
