The home screen, or Start, on Windows Phone 7 Series can be customized with "live tiles" that show the latest updates from the Web directly to customers. For example, create a "live tile" of a friend and gain a readable, up-to-date view of that person's latest pictures and posts, just by glancing at Start.
The Windows Phone 7 Series People Hub is communication central, where customers can see all relevant content associated with a contact, including live feeds from social networks and photos. It also provides a single place from which customers can post updates to Facebook and Windows Live in one step.
The Windows Phone 7 Series Pictures Hub brings together photos from the phone, the PC and online albums into one simple view. It's easy to share pictures on the phone to social sites such as Facebook and Windows Live, and see up-to-date online albums that others are sharing.
The Windows Phone 7 Series Office Hub provides fast access to Microsoft Office Mobile, Microsoft Office SharePoint and Microsoft Office OneNote on the same phone that offers Microsoft Office Outlook e-mail.
The Windows Phone 7 Series Games Hub delivers the first and only official Xbox LIVE experience on a phone. It's not just about games on the phone; it's about playing games with friends.
