Top stories regarding Microsoft's new launch into mobile devices-The UI goes by the codename Metro and is heavily influenced by that of the Zune HD. The interface has been described as “clean”, “soulful” and “alive”, and offers a fully re-imagined Start page. Third party UIs like HTC’s Sense will no longer be supported. Windows Phone 7 will ditch Windows Mobile Device Center in favour of Zune’s syncing software, and will offer integration with social media networks, Zune devices and Xboxes, including friends, gamer tags, achievements, etc.
Apps will only be able to be installed via the Marketplace, which supports an API as well as a try before you buy system. Flash will not be supported initially. Windows Phone 7 also won’t offer multitasking, though apps will be able to receive push notifications while paused in the background.
