Microsoft Announces Windows Phone 7 Partners

Microsoft has announced that Dell, Asus, LG, HTC, and Samsung will release Windows Phone 7 devices to the market later this year.

The partnerships were confirmed by Microsoft senior product manager Greg Sullivan to technology website Pocket-lint.

Sullivan also told Pocket-lint that Microsoft would not enter into exclusive single vendor tie-ups in any country, as Apple did with its iPhone.

"We want as many people as possible to be able to get it", Sullivan said.

Microsoft recently shipped a beta release of its new generation Smartphone OS to testers and developers on a Samsung device that will not be marketed.

The company is confident that despite its late arrival, Windows Phone 7 OS will soon be counted amidst market leaders like iOS-4, Android and BlackBerry.

"We will offer the best aspects of Android and the best of the iPhone, giving users the flexibility of different form factors, but with the rigidity of apps that are guaranteed to work on every device that is out there", Sullivan said.

Dell, which is poised to step into the smarphone market with it Streak 5" tablet later this month, has reportedly been developing a Windows Phone 7 device called Dell Lightening, which is fitted with a portrait QWERTY slider.

The Dell Lightening is reported to pack a 1GHz processor, 4.1-inch OLED display, 5-megapixel camera, 1GB of internal memory plus 512MB of RAM, an 8GB microSD card, GPS, accelerometer, compass, FM radio and full support for Flash.

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers Katy Perry continues working with the producers of GHD hair dryers and GHD hair care products: the singer once again demonstrated her luxurious hair in a fresh advertising campaign – this time she had the image of a diva from “the golden Hollywood” era (the pop-diva had already had the image of a hippie, a disco girl, and a mermaid). Luxurious dresses, bright makeup and a small portion of theatricality – one can immediately see that she is a star! The shooting was run by Ellen von Unwerth, who preferred to focus on restrained sensuality and the interplay of tones rather than on bright colors (the latter are always excessive with Katy) and presented black-and-white portraits of Perry to the public. The girl really looks perfect in the pictures : whether she is playing chess, recovering after a tiring concert or just getting ready to appear on stage. But whose merit is this: that of the photographer, the heroine, or maybe Photoshop?
