iPhone (2007) beats Windows Phone (2012)

John Brownlee:

With their Windows Phone 7 booth, [Microsoft is] throwing a 100 Euro Windows Phone challenge, in which they invite showgoers to compete for a crisp C-note by having the smartphone in their pocket go head-to-head with a Windows Phone 7 handset.

[T]hey had a score board of how Windows Phone 7 had stacked yp in their tests. And in one of the tests, an original iPhone tied a Windows Phone 7 handset in “Photo / Social.”

We were curious what this meant, so we asked a Microsoft representative, who confirmed that if it said iPhone, it was an original iPhone. She also said that she believed that specific showdown involved how long it took to take a photo and then upload it to a social network.

If so, that’s astonishing. A five-year old phone without any semblance of multitasking and running an operating system that is over two years old held its own against one of Microsoft’s biggest and best devices.

Not to mention that the original iPhone only had EDGE. It's been 5 years since the introduction of the iPhone.
