Microsoft has launched the latest iteration of its mobile phone operating system, called Windows phone 7 series.
The software has a redesigned user interface and incorporates many Microsoft services such as Xbox LIVE games and the Zune music service.
The software was introduced at an event at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
According to research firm Canalys, Microsoft’s software currently has around 9% of the smartphone market.
That puts it fourth in the global market behind Symbian, Rim (makers of the Blackberry) and Apple’s iPhone OS.
The new system follows the launch of Windows Mobile 6.5 in October 2009.

User can create their own tiles, for example, to keep tabs on the latest posts and pictures from friends or relatives on social networks.
“We wanted the software experience to fundamentally focus on what is most important to each individual user,” said Joe Belfiore of the firm at the launch.
The new interface also has a series of hubs, which bring together related content from the web, applications and services into a single view.
The six hubs are people, pictures, games, marketplace, music and office.
The games hub, for example, incorporates elements of the firm’s online gaming network Xbox live, including games and the ability for gamers to access their online profiles.
The music hub brings together music and video content from a user’s PC, online music services and an in-built FM radio.
The first phones using the new operating system will be available later this year from manufacturers including Samsung, LG, HTC and Sony Ericsson.

Although Microsoft will only provide the software for the phones, it will specify certain hardware requirements to manufacturers.
For example, all handsets will be multi-touch and will come with a dedicated hardware button for Microsoft’s search engine (View More....)
