Microsoft enables Android and iOS users to experience Windows Phone 7… via the internet

Still tempted by the fruit of another? If you are looking Microsoft’s way, but aren’t quite able to toss your adoration for iOS or Android aside, the coders in Redmond are supplying you with a substitute for quitting cold turkey. By visiting http://aka.ms/wpdemo on one’s iOS or Android browser, you will be immediately tunneled right into a emulation of Windows Phone 7 . We gave it a test run here at Engadget HQ, and it sounds as if every tile and swipe save for Apps runs properly. Can’t say the fonts and such looked as smooth on our Galaxy S II as they do at the Radar , but it is a solid effort that’ll definitely serve you well in case you are considering the switch. Just don’t try and flip the demo horizontally — that’s clearly a no-no.
