Microsoft wants a piece to the pie. What pie? Well, in reality, it seems they want a piece of just about EVERY pie. But in this instance, we are talking about the smartphone market. The long awaited Windows Phone 7 OS makes its way to the public via some new smartphone offerings. There are seven in all, five of which can be viewed on Microsoft's promotional page (3 through AT&T and 2 through T-Mobile). Verizon customers get ditched, at least in the short run.

"Today at Mobile World Congress 2010, Microsoft Corp. CEO Steve Ballmer unveiled the next generation of Windows® Phones, Windows Phone 7 Series. With this new platform, Microsoft offers a fresh approach to phone software, distinguished by smart design and truly integrated experiences that bring to the surface the content people care about from the Web and applications.
