Today at Mobile World Congress 2010, Microsoft announced their new mobile OS -- Windows Phone 7 Series. Microsoft will bring together Xbox Live games and the Zune music and video experience on a mobile phone. Actually, they've lifted a lot of the design and UI from the Zune HD. And as someone who've been using the Zune HD and enjoyed the interface, I can say that it will be pretty interesting how it will work out as a phone UI. Microsoft is even promising that all Windows Phone 7 handsets will have a dedicated hardware button for Bing which can do search anywhere on the phone and the web.
