Poised to challenge Apple and Google in the mobile phone market, Microsoft will showcase its new Windows Phone 7 operating system on October 11 hoping to gain momentum into the holiday season. Last week Microsoft finalized the software, which will be the featured operating system for phones made by LG, Samsung, and HTC. Not much information is out yet about the ease of using the Windows Phone 7 system compared to Android and OS operating systems. The big news for the moment is that the phone will integrate Zune and Xbox services. Gamers can access features of Xbox Live, and music fans can transfer their on demand Zune music service to the phone. So long as the phone is on more than one network, it may challenge Apple which has thus far kept its exclusive allegiance with AT&T.
