Microsoft has long been known as one of the biggest software developers in the world. This point is largely due to the success of their Windows desktop platform which still has over 85% of the desktop OS market. However, while the company has seen much success on the desktop platform things have been quite different in the mobile sector.

While their Windows Mobile platform did see varying levels of success its marketshare diminished considerably when platforms like iOS and Android rolled around. Flash forward to today and Android and iOS have largely been considered the two most popular mobile platforms in the world.

But while Microsoft may be lagging behind they aren’t down for the count as they showed us with their critically acclaimed Windows Phone 7 platform. As of now the platform controls a very small of the market when compared to iOS or Android but it only just made its debut towards the end of 2010 which means there is still much room to grow. Add to that the massive piles of money Microsoft has laying around for marketing, Windows Phone 7′s future seems quite bright.

One of Microsoft’s biggest WP7 hardware partners is HTC who also produce highly sought after Android phones. One of the latest outfit’s smartphones dubbed the HTC Titan has just been made available today from AT&T and stands as one of the platform’s most powerful. Running the latest Windows Phone 7 build dubbed Mango (otherwise known as version 7.5), the HTC Titan comes equipped with a 4.7-inch Super LCD display with 800 x 480 resolution, 1.5GHz single-core processor, 512MB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, 8 megapixel rear facing camera with 720p video capture and the normal array of sensors and connectivity options you would expect out of such a smartphone.

In terms of price AT&T is asking consumers to pay 9.99 with 2-year contract for the HTC Titan. Anyone interested?
