Windows Phone 7 Series gets Timotei rinse

Windows Phone 7 Series gets Timotei rinse

The Windows Phone 7 Series was recently airbrushed into a Timotei-style web commercial that shines over the operating system's limitations.

An ad, featuring the Anthropologie family of Anna, Miles, and Luca - plus the babysitter - smiling, taking photos, playing games, and casually flipping through endless screens of messages and Facebook pages on phones that all run Windows Phone 7 Series was featured on YouTube by the company.

Strumming guitar completes the ad, as the music instrument is matchless in saying something earthy and wholesome.

Since the solar-powered 30-something family Microsoft has manufactured to hype the phone, the capabilities of Windows Phone 7 Series are about as far removed from reality.

This ad release will not have the local storage capabilities and ability for applications to run in the background as the user juggles multiple actions implied in Microsoft's ad.

In other developments, it looks like Microsoft has given up Adobe Systems' Flash that powers so much online content on the phone with the aim of getting Windows Phone 7 Series out the door for its first release. We can only hope that Anna and her post-nuclear, nine grain-munching family, were not looking forward to catch any YouTube videos on their Windows phones.
