14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft appears more than confident in its Windows Phone operating system. In fact, it is so confident that devices running under the platform can outperform other devices that it has kicked off a challenge to prove that.
Ben “The PC Guy” Rudolph came to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January with a bunch of Windows Phone devices in his hand and with his pockets full of money.
There were $100 bills to win for all those who could prove that their smartphones were able to perform a task faster than a Windows Phone. For those who missed the reports on the matter, we should note that most handsets were smoked by Windows Phone.
Today, we learn that the Windows Phone’s $100 Challenge continues, and that Ben “The PC Guy” Rudolph is challenging more users to try out their devices in a head to head competition with Windows Phone.
For a few days, Ben will be present in some Microsoft Stores around the United States to show what Windows Phone devices are capable of.
Today and tomorrow, he will be at these locations:
- Mission Viejo Microsoft Store; Saturday, February 11th from 1pm – 7pm - San Diego Microsoft Store; Sunday, February 12th from 1pm – 7pm
Yesterday, he was at the South Coast Microsoft Store from 2pm – 8pm, and people did line up to try their luck, as you can see in the image on the left.
After all, they could win $100 if their device proved faster than the Windows Phone. If not, all they had to do was to confirm on tape that theirs got smoked by Windows Phone.
At CES, Ben proved that Windows Phone could easily outperform Android and iOS devices. Those who don’t believe it should head over to the said locations to see whether their handsets are faster or not.
In the worst-case scenario, they have a bit of fun while their handsets lose the competition. If all goes well, they leave home with $100 in their pockets.
