Microsoft: Windows Phone 7 Not for Tablets

One Microsoft executive said Windows Phone 7 (WP7) is an operating system (OS) specifically for smartphones and is not designed for tablets. Speaking at the event Microsoft Worldwide Partners Conference, division president for the Windows Phone Andy Lees believes that consumers want to do everything on a PC on a tablet.

"And we see as a tablet PC," he said as quoted by Micro Technology from TG Daily, Thursday. Thus he said, running WP7 on tablets can cause 'conflict' with the preferences of consumers as well as Microsoft's mobile strategy. According to Lees, Windows 8 - which supports the ARM and x86 - expected to encourage the adoption of Microsoft's tablet in the near future.

Lees also said that PCs, tablets and mobile phones will eventually be together in an 'integrated ecosystem', as it echoed Steve Ballmer believes that Windows will be present in every device everywhere without compromise. Although the future of WP7 is still unclear, some analysts speculated that the evolution of the OS will be gradually eliminated and replaced by a versatile Windows 8.

While other analysts from Gartner and IDC believes, WP7 combination with the Nokia device is very potential to be number two mobile platforms in the mobile market share in 2015.
