Acer has purchased E-TEN corporation that was making touchscreen phones powered by Windows Mobile for years (actually as long as HTC was doing it) but unfortunately Acer S200 shares main disadvantage of E-TEN phones - relatively low quality. We know that one can buy cheap headphones of high quality for 20-30 bucks so why Acer has placed a low-quality speaker in S200?: more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 11 Comments ]Detailed review of HTC HD2 from O2 UK - published November 12, 2009; [with touch-screen] This review of HTC HD2 is so detailed, that you can almost see individual atoms inside of this phone. So, iPhone is fast because it allows only one third-party app to run at the same time, but the problem of Windows Mobile always was that it allowed many apps in the background - what made it slow and people like Kevin Rose didn't know that there are some apps running in the background and were badmouthing Windows Mobile as utterly slow. It looks like this problem is no more - in phones with 1GHz Snapdragon processor like HTC HD2: more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 1 Comment ]Orange UK closes support programme but still needs Windows Mobile developers November 12, 2009; [General] If you want to put your apps into more than one basket, you might consider Orange UK's Orange Application Shop: more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 1 Comment ]Unboxing of HTC HD2 Windows Mobile superphone - in video - published November 12, 2009; [with touch-screen] Cohost of our Podcast about Windows Mobile has just received a loaner HTC HD2 from Clove UK for review purposes and he published an unboxing video: more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later)Windows Marketplace for Mobile gets access through web browsers and more copy protection November 12, 2009; [General] At last! Some changes to the Windows Marketplace for Mobile, changes that don't solve all the issues but it is a progress nonetheless. Now each app can be linked to as Microsoft has launched web access to their app store: 
... but automatic opening of Marketplace client in Windows Mobile phone is not working, i.e. still there is no link that opens Marketplace inside of the Windows Mobile phone itself. It's also good to see that official client for Windows Marketplace for Mobile for old Windows Mobile (6 and 6.1) is coming yet this month (and not "by the end of the year" = December): more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 5 Comments ]Windows Marketplace for Mobile - App Pick of the Day November 11, 2009; [General]  Windows Marketplace for Mobile (aka Windows Mobile app store) is run directly by Microsoft and it contains apps that you can download directly from "Marketplace" app in your Windows phone.

November 10, 2009; [General] Samsung wants to take on iPhone and this is the highest priority of this Korean corporation now. However obviously Windows Mobile is too outdated to help in this endavour so Samsung is focusing now on Android that is developing very quickly and is available already in version 2.0 with free turn-by-turn GPS navigation. Android gets new major version each year while for that utterly incompetent Microsoft it takes 4-5 years to release new major version. Samsung is a hardware company and its overlays on top of Windows Mobile were not that innovative as HTC's TouchFlo3D and HTC Sense, so huge ($170 billion in yearly revenues) Samsung corporation was all the time playing catch up with HTC ($4 billion in yearly revenues). So, the relationship of Samsung with Windows Mobile is about to end: more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 11 Comments ]Huge demand for HTC HD2, first units will be delivered next week November 10, 2009; [with touch-screen] Shipping of first units begins on Friday this week, so we reckon these phones will not be delivered this week yet, but next week. In any case demand for HTC HD2 is huge and incredibly incompetent Microsoft cannot take any credit for it, as Windows Mobile 6.5 does not support multi-touch inherently and it was HTC that hacked multi-touch on top of Windows Mobile and to hide ugliness of Windows Mobile, HTC is using their HTC Sense, now with even more HTC's apps that replace Microsoft's uggos. more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 1 Comment ]Previous page Next page |
