Breakthrough

Microsoft’s director of Windows Phone Program Management Joe Belfiore was interviewed by Walt Mossberg on the impact Windows Phone 7 has had since it’s launch. The whole article is an interesting read but what struck me most was the vague admission that Microsoft think it’s about 2 years behind Apple — this is, admittedly, in relation to marketshare & profitability, not technology (I doubt this would be something they’d admit) but it reminded me of this part of the original iPhone introduction in 2007.
Steve had this slide up as he talked about the technology behind iPhone and, as I mention above, this admission that Windows Phone 7 is about 2 years behind iPhone relates to marketshare & profitability, not technology.
