Excited to see how Windows Phone feels, but do not have a device around to do so? Us neither. But a new HTML 5 website that has just been released by Microsoft allows iPhone and Android users to get a taste of the Windows Phone 7 (Mango 7.5) operating system. To do a trial users need not to download or register, just they can try it out by going to the http://aka.ms/wpdemo webpage on their mobile device.
However it does not use any of the data on your phone like your contacts, the demonstrator show you a pretty inclusive look at all of Windows Phone’s features. Microsoft guide you around the operating system through a blue dot, and apparently certain features like voice recognition just do not work in the browser. Drat, that is something we really wanted to try.
Will this draw users over to the Windows Phone platform? Probably not, but it’s always cool to see what the competition is up to.
