Microsoft Offers Obama Less Stop and Stare, more and GoAuthor Glance: SururPublished: April 18, 2011 at 6:01 pmShareIt seems the most powerful man in the world is tired of his venerable Blackberry, characterized as it is uncool to the little plastic buttons, like Steve Jobs famous mark. At a fundraiser in Chicago U.S. president quipped: The Oval Office, I always thought I should have really cool phones and stuff. I like, c'mon guys, I'm the president of the United States. Where is the fancy buttons and stuff, and the big screen come up? It does not happen. Responding quickly to the challenge, Microsoft EMEA Twitter account tweeted: @ BarackObama Hey, listen, we wish you a cool phone - how about a Windows phone 7? We can send your way! http://fxn.ws/eflCNx # WP7There was no response from Barack Obama's official account, but this would not be the first time Microsoft tried to replace the Blackberry with shiny new Windows 7 telephone handset.
Suggest dealers sell all their RIM shares, noted Forbes is Adam Hartung Microsoft will use far more resources than RIM could ever match trying to defend their installed base and that Windows 7 Phone Market Place was already set to overtake the dying Blackberry App World in only few months.
Maybe get the president to adopt a Windows 7 telephone handset would be a good idea - with less time staring at his phone possibly a little more public activities would be done.
