Microsoft Now Hawking Windows Phone 7 On Groupon
Maybe that’s why the Microsoft store in Oak Brook, Illinois has decided to offer a 51% discount on the Samsung Focus and/or the HTC HD7 Windows phone through Groupon? True, Groupons are primarily lead generational and great for business in some cases. But, with 50% of revenue here going back to Groupon, I can’t imagine this is something we’d see a mobile market leader like Apple or Google resorting to.
Most telling detail? It took until around 12:30 pm CST to sell enough (20) to clear the deal. Let’s hope this doesn’t go the way of the Kin.
