In an attempt to show iPhone and Android users exactly what they are missing out on, Microsoft have created an interactive HTML5 based demo which replicates the look & feel of the latest version of their smartphone OS – Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango).
The demo provides a taster of some of the core Windows Phone features, such as Outlook, Messaging, Pictures, Calendar and Phone. A small blue dot indicates which sections can either be tapped or swiped on, and at various points a window pops up thanking you for completing different parts of the demo.

To try it out for yourself, just head over to http://aka.ms/wpdemo in your iOS or Android browser – the demo doesn’t work in desktop browsers.
Although it hasn’t made me any more likely to run out and buy a Windows Phone anytime soon, I have to admit it’s a pretty clever idea by Microsoft.
If you gave it a try, let me know what you thought by leaving a comment below.
