Windows Phone 7 operating system offers three unique features: a "Glance & Go Experience" with all the information you need on the "Start" screen, allowing you to quickly find what you are looking for; a simple and functional design to do more in fewer steps; and "hubs" that assemble related items in one place for fast and easy access. The Xbox Live hub, for instance, offers an on-the-go gaming experience much like your Xbox 360 at home.
