Here comes the Windows Phone 7. Microsoft has announced that their newest mobile operating system will be available in the UK in October and a month later in the United States. Microsoft has yet to announce which mobile devices will be powered by WP7, but has announced the manufacturers, which include Samsung and LG. Microsoft COO Kevin Turner brushed aside questions regarding market saturation and how his company planned on challenging more established competition like Apple and Google. 'This game is not over. There's 200 (million) smartphones right now being sold. When you think about what is going to happen in the next three to five years, there will be 400 to 450 million sold. More than double the number. The opportunity we have is to really make change,” said Turner. Microsoft has also stressed that Windows Phone 7 is not an upgrade of previous Windows mobile platforms, but an entirely new operating system.
