Microsoft has been all over the news this week,firstly due to the release of Mango and then they did something that Google were not able to achieve.Now if that was not enough,Dell has agreed to launch more Windows Phones in India and thus make some ground in Windows Phone market in India.
This piece of information comes from Economic Times and quotes Dell India Director and GM(consumer and SMB)Mahesh Bhalla saying, “The mobile phone business is doing really well and we have received tremendous response to the devices.Though the category is still in nascent stage,we are confident of it growing significantly”.
The importance of including Windows Phone means that Dell has not forgotten about the platform after releasing the first generation of Windows Phone products. This is certainly good news for Microsoft as Dell will continue to support the Windows Phone product platform in India, an important and fast growing marketplace.
With this news we can surely say that with the manufacturers like Nokia and Dell taking interest in the asian and specifically the indian markets,it’s a win win for Microsoft as well as the consumers because we can expect to see more affordable Windows Phones (Courtesy the new updated Chassis specifications for the Windows Phones) in india giving kickass competition to the Android marketshare which is growing in indian markets these days with cheap android phones being released every now and then,
Microsoft has already begun the massive Mango distribution to its array of different products around the World. Generally, the reaction has been positive to Mango and to the update process itself and it has been well received all over.Mango was rolled out all over the world a couple of days ago and by far the response to the latest update is quite good with many of the popular tech sites appreciating the Mango Goodness running on their Windows Phones.
