30 Days With Windows Phone 7: Day 3

I have used an iPhone for years, so I am used to the standard grid of apps on an iOS home screen. Android offers some unique capabilities, but still appears similar to iOS at face value. But, the tiles layout of Windows Phone 7 is a distinctive trademark of the mobile OS, and should make the 30 Days With Winows Phone 7 experience unique.

If the Windows Phone 7 tiles were just a different shape than an iOS app icon, that wouldn’t be very impressive or add any value. But, the tiles are more than that. Windows Phone 7 gives me the ability to pin virtually anything to my start screen as a tile–enabling me to configure my Windows Phone 7 device to cater specifically to me.
