Android Brings In More Revenue To Microsoft Than It's Own Windows Phone 7!

Android Market Dominance http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/

The same reason (Android tablet will overtake iPads) that apple is running around like a dog with it's tail on fire, trying to thwart Android, any thing Android, tablets etc, seems to be making Microsoft much richer.

Android Smartphone market share rose to nearly 50% of worldwide mobile market (40% US Market) in Smartphone market share.

According to Forbes,

According to Horace Dediu, Microsoft sold around 1.4 million Windows Phone 7 in Q2, which brought in around $21 million from the $15 per Windows Phone 7 that it earns.

On the other hand, HTC sold 12 million Android smartphones in Q2, and as it earns around $5 per Android phone from HTC patent licensing fees, Microsoft made around $60 million. This is 3x the amount earned from its own OS from the licensing deal with HTC alone.

So dominance of Android may help Microsoft to pass $27 barrier (the price I bought my Apple a long while ago) and make the next Billion

Yes there are many Windows Phone 7 handsets from various manufacturers and one would think they would at least be some what the same. They definitely do not in the case of  HTC 7 Trophy vs Samsung Omnia 7.  Loading time for RetroSpace, keeps the Samsung Omnia 7 about 6-7 seconds ahead!

LG Optimus 7, WIndows Phone 7 Hands On.

#LG #Optimus7, #WIndows Phone 7 Hands On. http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
Engadget has got their hands on a LG's Optimus 7, a very capable Windows Phone 7 based phone. The 1GHz Snapdragon powered,  5 megapixel camera that can shoot 720P videos equipped is said to be the WP7 Ambassador for LG. So I earnestly sat down to read the fine article that covered internals, camera functions, WP7 operations, hardware, software and the 3.8" display. At the end, their conclusion, is not far from mine, despite the fact, I have not even touched the LG's Optimus 7.

Engadget, after a very lengthy walk through that involves many photos, videos and of course material to fill a few pages, had this to say;

We feel somewhat odd giving such a high grade to a device that really brings nothing new to the table in terms of hardware. LG might be making gorgeous retina displays for a certain other phone maker, but that IPS goodness is nowhere to be seen here. The camera is also only mediocre, while the internal spec can be had on literally any other Windows Phone 7 device. What's really got us hooked, however, is the inescapable feeling of a quality piece of mobile kit. From the very first time we picked it up, the Optimus 7 has been delighting us with its look and feel and that emotional connection just refuses to go away. It's a minimalist interpretation of what the best possible Windows Phone should be like, and its small design flourishes are augmented with an almost perfect record of intelligent design decisions. Throw in the actually valuable Play To media streamer and the fun Panorama Shot from LG's own software labs, and you get a very competent contender. It's hard to quite crown it the finest WP7 launch device -- after all, Samsung's Omnia 7 has a bigger and significantly better display -- but the LG Optimus 7 might just be the one we most enjoyed using.
