Microsoft lowering the standard device configuration Windows Phone 7

Some of the hardware configuration requirements as previously required to have a camera phone has been removed from the Microsoft Windows Phone 7 (WP7).

This move will help increase the number of mobile phones running version Mango's mobile operating system of Microsoft Windows Phone 7. In the first iteration of the operating system, Microsoft requires slightly higher with the phone running WP7, but the conditions now seem to be easing.
These high standards can be difficult for a number of phone manufacturers, thus narrowing the ability of users to experience the new platform. If a company is to produce hardware like Apple is going a light, but behind this software providers, such as Microsoft or Google with Android with WP7, is definitely a problem.
When the new Windows Phone 7 was introduced, Microsoft has a clear message to higher requirements for the hardware manufacturers with mobile operating system Windows Mobile's past. Some observers have endorsed it, saying that such would allow WP7 eliminate mess as is happening with Android since Google's operating system appears.
As can be seen, when the whole range of hardware manufacturers competing for market share on the same platform operating system, they will need to make a difference to their equipment than competitors . That usually means there will be some tweaking with the program, which can lead to crippling applications, the battery is "consumed" quickly, and generally reduce the value of consumers' experience with the phone.
Why does Microsoft require less demanding WP7 phones have camera on the front? It is easy to see that it enables the manufacturer offers mobile environment more suitable for government and companies pay much attention to security.
Moreover, it also allows the supplier to produce the cheap smart phone. It will certainly appeal to the Microsoft's hardware partners, especially the company is aiming to push smartphones into the emerging market attention to low prices.
This is the concern of all manufacturers smart phones are selling their products to all over the world, including Apple, and that is why the observers that Apple is preparing to launch a low-cost iPhone model.
However, it seems that Apple's strategy is not inferior standard hardware, which is offering the old model at a discount. This strategy ensures the integrity of the label without making them lose value. It is a strategy that Microsoft should consider before WP7 brand can become overshadowed by the mobile phone provider is not trivial experience that companies want users to have WP7.
