WINDOWS PHONE 7 SALES DISAPPOINTING

Microsoft has budgeted $500 million to promote their new smartphone operating system, Windows Phone 7 that launched on Monday. Unfortunately, their money couldn't buy any users. According to The Street, who sites a "market research source who tracks phone sales”, Microsoft only sold around 40,000 units on launch day. In comparison Apple sells around 270,000 units per day and Android is around 200,000.

But don't expect Microsoft to give up yet. They are in it for the long haul and realize they won't change people's perception overnight. The Windows Phone 7, which is a completely new mobile OS over their antiquated Windows Mobile 6, has gotten good reviews from a number of tech sites and reviewers. [Geek]
