Latest Mobile Windows News: HTC gets serious about gaming February 09, 2010; [with touch-screen] Nintendo has sold 125 million Nintendo DS devices for a reason: mobile gaming, particularly of casual type, matters a lot. By now Microsoft has been neglecting mobile gaming and there are signs that it will not change any time soon... so at least it's nice to see that HTC cares! HTC - quietly frisky? Mobile World Congress 2010: you too, Brutus? February 08, 2010; [General] We are sick and tired of hearing "oh man, they did not dump Windows Mobile, they just extend their portfolio with Android phones". Renowned PC World names us the best blog on the planet! Microsoft: where is MVP for us? February 08, 2010; [General] We are on the verge of revival of Microsoft mobility because Microsoft is about to unveil Windows Mobile 7, Zune Phone and other mobile gimmicks next week in Barcelona (yes, we will be there on location, but it's a different fairytale)... and soon we will see renewed interest of main stream media in Windows Mobile. So it's good to see, that PC World is mentioning us in their list of the best smartphone blogs because in this way a Windows Mobile blog is there listed too. Anywho, we didn't get free HTC HD2 from HTC and free Zune HD from Microsoft like Mobius members did. We didn't even get an invite to Mobius. And Microsoft didn't give us Windows Mobile MVP award, because we are not sucking up to Microsoft enough. However renowned PC World recognizes our brilliance: BCM21553 supports Windows Mobile February 08, 2010; [General] What is amazing in this chipset is that it not only delivers 3 times faster uploads via HSUPA but also has built-in fast ARM processor and fast graphics processor that is compatible with OpenGL ES 2.0 (what may mean nothing because Windows Mobile 7 supports XNA and not OpenGL)... Windows Mobile podcast number 319 published February 07, 2010; [General] In this episode Alli (Alabama, USA), Ching (Washington DC, USA), Surur (England, EU), Gareth (Northern Ireland, EU), Edward (Germany, EU) are chatting about Windows Mobile phones: Windows Mobile podcast 319 Please listen to this podcast - it's the only podcast about Windows Mobile that tells how it is.
Mobile World Congress 2010: Windows Mobile -related press conferences February 07, 2010; [General] Organizers of the Mobile World Congress 2010 - which are mostly sun-loving Brits - have published list of press conferences of various companies. Press conferences usually take place outside of the venue of the Congress itself, but they are kind-of part of the event... Gossip: who is going to Mobile World Congress 2010? February 07, 2010; [General] Next week, on Monday, February 15, 2010, the Mobile World Congress 2010 is starting in Barcelona, EU. It's the biggest event in cellular industry on the planet Earth. So who is coming? Microsoft is charging Windows Mobile developers indefinitely more than Apple and Google February 06, 2010; [General] Can you believe that? Market share of Windows Mobile is sinking like Titanic, and competitors have tens of thousands of apps (compared to less than one thousand in Windows Mobile app store), plenty of which are not available at all (!) for Windows Mobile, and what is Microsoft doing? Microsoft is charging Windows Mobile developers indefinitely more than Apple and Google as you can see in this comparison: Foursquare for Windows Mobile download - available February 06, 2010; [General] If you are a fan of Foursquare service, and you own Windows Mobile phone, then this might be something for you: Windows Mobile 7 at MIX 2010 conference of Microsoft: 11 sessions! February 04, 2010; [General] Wow, that's a lot! Breaking news: Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft, will be speaking at Mobile World Congress 2010! February 03, 2010; [General] Once again, this is not yet public at Microsoft's website but we have already 100% confirmation, directly from Microsoft: Official announcement from Microsoft about Windows Mobile 6.5.3 - verbatim February 02, 2010; [General] This story is not yet on Microsoft's website but we have it! And this is not hearsay, not a rumor, not unofficial info from somewhere, but this is an exact, verbatim, word-by-word, description of Windows Mobile 6.5.3 - from Microsoft. And we must admit: we are impressed as it even supports multi-touch... No serious mobile gaming in next Windows Mobile February 02, 2010; [General] Zune services - yes. Multitouch - yes. New user interface to make things look fancier - yes. Proper support for mobile gaming - no. At least (former) main blogger of Microsoft thinks so, because he got such information from his friends at Microsoft: Microsoft further sucks up to Nokia - Silverlight and .NET CF and SDK for Nokia phones coming February 02, 2010; [General] Microsoft earns several billions of dollars in pure profit, so calling it stupid would be, err., stupid but what Microsoft is doing here - one-sidedly after all (Nokia takes freebies equally fast as Windows Mobile MVPs do it) - is nothing but putting another nail into the coffin of Windows Mobile. Why should people select Windows Mobile if all the goodies of Microsoft are available also on other smartphone platforms? Microsoft apparently plans to deliver full .NET support for Nokia phones (Silverlight is also a form of .NET): Unusual: 2 weeks before Mobile World Congress and Microsoft still not launched microsite February 02, 2010; [General] We are not interested in spreading rumors but the matter of fact is this: while in last years microsites (i.e. web pages) devoted to Mobile World Congress were online at microsoft.com already 2 months before the event, we have only 2 weeks ahead of the event and still nothing!
