A prominent Wall Street analysts said Friday that Windows 7 Phone've seen "successful launch" and that new Microsoft platform goes far beyond the market, possibly leading to a pitched battle between WP7 Android smartphone device and leave the iPhone on top.
WP7 Is he really knows the successful launch has been widely debated. Random checks with retailers in the U.S. and UK sales have shown somewhat limited, and shortages of supply. There is also a comment at the beginning of WP7 initial success with Microsoft or AT & T, the American company with most phone models WP7.
However, the analyst, Charles Wolf of Needham & Co., described the launch on November 8 in WP U. S. 7 "success" after launching abroad. But Wolf noted that only 135,000 are active users on Facebook app WP7 November 30, an indication of the possibility of WP7 phones sold at that time. His research was first reported by AppleInsider.
However, Wolf says that Microsoft will use the proposed $ 500,000,000 WP7 marketing budget to buy the support of leading smartphonemanufacturers. "And he said that if the WP7 is experiencing strong, successful long term, there will be benefits for the Android operating system, more than any other smartphone platform.
And in the case of a battle between WP7 and Android, the iPhone would win, "he concluded.
"With its brand equity more, the iPhone could become the last man standing," said Wolf.
Wolves bring a lot of factors to the analysis of war smartphone platforms, including the fact that the Android WP7 and both work with devices from different manufacturers such as HTC, Samsung, LG, Motorola and Sony Ericsson, while Apple itself produces the iPhone - a model that Research In Motion has been followed by the BlackBerry.
Wolf said if WP7 ultimately successful in the coming months, "it is difficult not to conclude that the Android platform will have more impact than other operating systems because of the similarity of the two models licenses. "
In addition, he stressed that the iPhone should be sold by Verizon Wireless began in early 2011, which in turn hurt Android.
"Android does not benefit from the iPhone on the Verizon network, because the carrier has spent a great deal to promote the platform as an alternative to the iPhone," said Wolf. "Android actually moved into the vacuum created by the explosion of Windows Mobile."
Windows Mobile is the mobile platform from Microsoft before WP7. It is still used in many rugged handheld computers and other devices, but it was considered a flop for integrating smartphones. Microsoft shocked the development team to create a new operating system WP7.
