I've got to admit, even as the pocketnow.com "Android Guy", I'm impressed. What's more, I subscribe to the theory that one of the main reasons many former Windows Mobile users went to Android was because we didn't want to go to Apple. This release of Windows Phone 7 has the potential to woo us back to the Microsoft side of the fence.
Yeah, it's that good.
Don't worry though, I'm still firmly in the Android camp, but when my friends come showing me their new Mango-powered Windows Phone 7 smartphones, I want to be prepared -- and so does a team of app developers who are readying a completely immersive Windows Phone 7-like experience for Android.
We have shown you Windows Phone 7 themes, skins, and even launchers in the past, but they all fall short of a true Windows Phone 7 experience in that once you've left the launcher and moved on to another app you're back into the Android user experience. This project aims to solve that -- at least with the most commonly used apps
Rather than a standalone launcher, this is an entire project which includes several components. According to their website:
Launcher: A Metro UI launcher written from the ground up to ensure that the ENTIRE WP7 experience can be utilized.
Dialer: Integrated with the stock Android contacts app or the WP7 contact app, this launcher will look and feel the way it is supposed to. With enhanced Facebook integration to just stock settings.
Contacts: Full contacts support with Facebook integration. You can scroll through your contact list and also view their updates and other status changes.
Mail: Manage all your mail accounts through one sleek interface.
Message: WP7 Message app with thread view
Browser: WP7 Browser and extra features
Camera: WP7 Camera
Gallery: WP7 Photo/Video Gallery
Zune-Player: All of the look and feel of the Zune music player, none of the restrictions! You can view, play and see all of your media, no matter where it is!
If it sounds like something you'd like to try, you can download the "lite" version of the launcher from theAndroid Market. The full version and app suite are under development but should be coming soon.

And before you ask, it's not quite ready to be included in our Launcher Wars series... Stay tuned.
