What was once “Windows Mobile” then “Windows Phone 7 Series”, is now settled at “Windows Phone 7″ for the newly reinvigorated OS (that has still yet to officially launch). No word yet on the effect this re-branding will have, if any, on their ongoing marketing strategy and eventual rollout of the platform. But with all the hype around Android and iPad, and to a lesser extent, Blackberry, right now, I’m not sure many will actually notice the change. But I’m glad Microsoft has decided to go with a name that’s not only easy to remember, but easier to market.

Does this name change make you want to try the new OS out even more? Leave a comment letting us know.
