This came out of no-where especially when you know who John Gruber is. The numero uno Apple fan (hell, even Steve Jobs quotes him) who is notorious for hating on everything that isn’t an Apple product had a brief 5 minutes hands-on with Microsoft’s Joe Marini’s Asus E600 Windows Phone 7 handset during the Web 2.0 event in NYC a few days ago and talked about the experience in a podcast posted last week. So what does he think about it? Well, I suggest that you listen to him praising Microsoft’s new platform during nearly 10 minutes (starting at 54:30). Quotes after the beak:
“very, very favorable.””I was “really impressed.” “The software keyboard is fantastic”. “this is iPhone caliber stuff” etc…
If one of your biggest detractor praises you like that it means that you are doing something rightwith Windows Phone 7. Gruber can’t wait to get his hands-on a review handset to play with it more and have a deeper dive into the OS.
