A video comparison of iOS 4 and Windows Phone 7 that concentrates on the interface differences has been posted by PocketNow.

This is a comparison of iPhone with Windows Phone 7. We talk about the interfaces of both and how they differ. Windows Phone 7 uses a Start screen as its launcher where you can place a variety of live tiles. The iPhone is very application-centric. We also talk about how Windows Phone 7 doesn't do fast app switching, while the iPhone does.

Take a look below...

Guys! How can people be objective who have to windows logo embeded in their logo? The off-voice is using expressions like "the windows lockscreen goes even further". Those aren't descriptive expressions, those are slogans.

Everything's so brown! Conveniently left out no cut & paste, spell checking. Windows phone 7 = iOS 1.1

Wow... I thought Windows Phone was at least going to be a contender, but damn that sucked! What up with having to try to find "the phone app"???? Come on, it's a quote-unquote PHONE, for Christ's sake! Guess what the most common thing I use my phone for is? PHONING PEOPLE!! I can't believe I have to get upset about these things!!! Put a big phone icon on the home screen, you sure have a lot of wasted screen real-estate on the right you could use!!!!!

The fact that they think this is something that should even be a choice just goes to show how out of touch with reality their designers are.

What's more ridiculous is that the video-maker actually says that "iPhone is not much better in terms of showcasing (or something)...". Are you kidding me? And I just wanna say this, this reviews is SO biased. He was trying real hard to prove that W 7 is better or somewhat as good as iOS 4. There's just simply no comparison. I really expected better than this from W7.

Not impressed. The home screen on Windows Phone 7 is bloated "live tiles" that sucks resources will surely crash your phone. And what is with the strip of wasted real estate on the right? It's a good thing you can carry a spare battery in your pocket. iOS 4 is a bad enough resource hog when you have notifications from Facebook, email, Skype, etc. pinging the servers; but at least the interface is straight forward and elegant.
