You can't directly access the loopback address of another computer. You can however access it via the IP address (assuming it's a typical network). Open a command prompt on the Win7 machine, run ipconfig, note the IP address. Type that IP address into whatever program you're using on the smartphone.
Note: This answer is incredibly vague because you've given absolutely no details as to what you're trying to do. If you ask a whole, detailed question then we might be able to help you more.

You can kinda get to a remote hosts loopback adapter with SSH tunneling. I doubt this would be helpful in this situation though. – Zoredache Sep 29 '11 at 19:31
