WP7 will integrate with competing services?
The Windows Phone 7 operating system will have room for game console integration besides Microsoft's own Xbox 360, according to the company's senior product manager for the mobile communications marketing group, Michael Chang. He adds that in its cellphone history, Microsoft has never blocked any competing products or services from its platforms. Short of naming names, Chang said "our mobile ecosystem often includes our competitors," which could mean compatibility with Sony's PS3 console.
Chang points to the naming conventions Microsoft used in WP7, being careful not to indicate exclusiveness to other Microsoft products and services. There is the Games hub and the Music+ Video hub, for example, with no mention of Zune and Xbox. [via TechRadar]
