CES 2012: Smoked By Windows Phone

Microsoft’s Ben Rudolph, also known on Twitter as @BenThePCGuy, hit CES with a fun challenge. Win, and you take away $100 cash – Loss, and you have to admit that your phone just got smoked by a Windows Phone. The challenge is actually pretty simple, just beat Ben on his Windows Phone at a common task. Think you’re fast at tweeting? What about posting to Facebook or sharing images?

In the end of the 2 days, Windows Phone walked away with a pretty nice record of 30 Wins / 3 Loss / 1 Draw. The 3 losses are against an iPhone 4s, Galaxy Nexus (both on posting a picture to Twitter, and lost by a second or so), and a Droid Bionic (on sending an SMS to a friend). But to get all the details, head over to the Windows Phone YouTube channel and watch the video’s yourself. Or, if you just want the summary, the recap of Day 2 is below for your enjoyment.
