Unlike the iPhone&rsquo;s home button, the Windows button is a truly idempotent reset button. It doesn&rsquo;t matter what you&rsquo;re currently doing, or how often you push the button; pushing the Windows button always resets the phone to the same known state.

In fact, I think it&rsquo;s better than the iPhone&rsquo;s. It does all of the behind-the-scenes things virtual keyboards are supposed to do[&#8230;] And it does a bunch of additional things. For example, punctuation keys sound different from regular keys, and it makes yet another sound if it auto-corrects a word. So you don&rsquo;t have to keep looking at the text, you can keep your eyes on the keyboard. If WP7 changes a word and you have to make sure it actually did the right thing, it&rsquo;ll tell you.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Great article.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lukas Mathis: At first, it would seem as if the lack of iTunes support for WP7 would be a disadvantage.
