Microsoft Gives You A Taste Of WP7 On Your Android Device

Imagine running WP7 on your android device, just to get a feel of it or see how it is well now you can and it is fairly easy.

All you have to do is go to Microsoft’s demo site on your android browser, (heck this even works on an iphone if you are crazy enough to own one) and a mock WP7 layout will pop up on your phone and be completely usable. The mock layout includes swipe and tap input so you can get the feel of WP7 but you would be better off just going down to a phone store to check out a WP7 device. This is a very interesting marketing choice made by Microsoft and we will have to see how it plays out.

I started out as a Blackberry user and once that phone was stolen I went to Radio Shack looking at the HD2. Blackberry wasn't cutting it and admittedly I didn't know much about technology, or Android at that point so I looked at the phone with the biggest screen. I'm a media guy and I like to have it mobile. At that point the HD2 had a massive screen and that's exactly what I wanted. Immediately when I got there the manager talked me out of getting a windows device and talked me into Android. I didn't know much about CPUs, Android versions, or what a good spec sheet even looked like. I settled with the Samsung Sidekick and immediately began to hate Android. Probably from the ugly skin and the terrible specs that device had. I started looking how to make the device better and found XDA. That's when it all changed. I started learning about rooting, and flashing. From there I would go on to come across Android websites. How I found Land of Droid was through Twitter. I used #android once and John mentioned me asking if I would like to write for an Android blog. I was hesitant at first but I began to immediately love it. I am now a huge technology fan in all aspects not just mobile. Now when looking for a device I will now know that there are more to specs than a screen size.
