Microsoft has come up with a new improved mobile platform with Windows Phone 7. The new mobile platform which was recently unveiled in Taiwan is available with the Nokia Lumia series and HTC’s two new phones: HD7 and Mozart.

The mobile platform is a means for Microsoft to recover lost ground in the mobile market which has drastically changed in the last three to four years.

The touchscreen technology has no doubt comes a long way over the years.

Three years later, a touch screen device, closest to what we know today, was invented by the same company and founder. This time, the latest technology came with a transparent surface. By 1977, they invented and patented their five-wire resistive technology which is now the most widely used touch screen technology the world over.
