New
York – Microsoft and AT&T unveiled a portfolio of smartphones based on the
Windows Phone 7 operating system.
The
unveiling was done at a press conference that is still taking place, here.
The smartphones from HTC, LG and Samsung will reportedly be
available exclusively for AT&T customers ahead of the holiday shopping
season.
Each of the three smartphones feature a capacitive glass touchscreen,
5-megapixel camera and a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, but they are designed to
appeal to different types of customers.

features DLNA technology through a preloaded application called Play To, which

a DLNA-enabled TV, stereo, Windows 7 PC and other consumer electronics devices
·
The Samsung
Focus is described as AT&T’s thinnest Windows Phone and offers a
Super AMOLED screen on a 9.9 mm-thin touchscreen phone.
