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.

what are u even talking dude, windows phone 7 home screen sucks. Its so horrible, and even the other screens. It doesnt have other whole lot of features. i think windows phone 7 might reach IOS 4 standards in another 2 years.

Some of the ugliest interface I ever seen in my whole life

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 that sucked! What up with having to try to find "the phone app"???? Come on, it's a quote-unquote phone! 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!!!!!

You can put the phone app on the home screen if you like or delete it from the home screen. Your choise

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.
