Latest Mobile Windows News: Gold version of Skype 3.0 for Windows Mobile released - no longer BETA June 30, 2009; [General] It is nice to see that Skype employee uses the term "Skype 3.0 for Windows Phones" and not "Skype 3.0 for Windows Mobile", when he writes about this new release: Video chit-chat with podcaster from number one podcast about cellphones on iTunes June 29, 2009; [General] Podcasting was invented merely 5 years ago but it has already changed lives of many people: instead of listening to repetitive music or to boring radio, people can listen wherever, whenever - to an audio content that covers in big depth even narrowest topics. Mickey is based in Phoenix, USA but here we are chatting with him in London, EU so Americans travelling abroad might be interested what cellphones and SIM cards he is using! Here is the video chat (click on "HQ" icon to see it in higher quality): Secret revealed: why there are only 600 apps in Marketplace (i.e. Windows Mobile app store)? June 29, 2009; [General] You wanna know? Here we reveal the truth about it: New version of HTC TouchFLO 3D leaked but what about HTC Sense for Windows Mobile? June 28, 2009; [with touch-screen] What is the point of releasing new HTC Touch FLO 3D (code name: "Manila") if it is supposed to be replaced by HTC Sense for Windows Mobile? msmobiles.com podcast 286 about Windows Mobile phones published! June 27, 2009; [General] This is a special episode as Mickey and Edward are in the same room in London and Alli and Chris are joining in over Skype. You shouldn't miss this episode! To listen to it, click here: msmobiles.com Windows Mobile podcast number 286. (Not so) secret plan of Google to destroy Windows Mobile June 27, 2009; [General] We are amazed that government of USA is not doing anything against it: Google and Apple form cartel to fight Microsoft. Furthermore CEO of Google is on board of directors of Apple and Google and Apple are agreeing on various strategies (example: Apple told Google not to put multitouch into Android so HTC had to hack it into HTC Hero). Now it looks like Google is entering another stage by offering their advertising solution (from which 99% of Google's revenue comes from) but only to iPhone and Android, not for Windows Mobile: Windows Mobile app store will have only 600 apps - so where is that 20,000 gone? June 26, 2009; [General] In September 2009 it is expected that first Windows Mobile 6.5 phones will go on sale and each of them will have Marketplace i.e. Windows Mobile app store. While by now Microsoft was claiming that there is over 20,000 apps for Windows Mobile, now it looks like it is more like 600: HTC event in London 2009, final thoughts, last videos June 26, 2009; [General] We have just published the last batch of videos and this is our last post about this HTC event. Local Windows Mobile software contest in Hong Kong allegedly co-organized by Microsoft June 26, 2009; [General] This is a local contest not worldwide but apparently anyone is welcome to join although it is not presented at microsoft.com website. Apparently Microsoft MSDN Hong Kong web site will have it covered by next week. The contest is allegedly (no proof yet!) supported by Microsoft Hong Kong and Microsoft Singapore. Generally we are not in favor of contests and awards regarding software, as we believe in free market, and we believe that sales numbers should determine popularity and not some hand-picking. Apart from that, text from the organizer is really suspicious as it lies about Windows Mobile popularity, claiming that it is increasing (which it is not, the contrary is the true) and for God's sake the winners will have privilige (???) to be published on the Windows Mobile app store (i.e. marketplace) - as if these developers need some contest to be published on this store: New version of Elecont Resource Manager with Alt+Tab - for Windows Mobile released June 25, 2009; [with touch-screen] Switching is now one-icon touch away... Editorial: downfall of Windows Mobile, episode 3: multitouch, where are you? June 25, 2009; [General] Since yesterday, Windows Mobile is the only major smartphone platform that doesn't offer multitouch. What does it mean in practice? HTC launch event in London in 2009: jaywalking June 24, 2009; [General] Here we are presenting a video tour of the venue of today's HTC event - after the presentation ended and when demonstrations and interviews started. Note, that in this fascinating video production you can see also 2 Windows Mobile MVPs - Leigh Gears and Arne Hess - chatting with us about this whole HTC event and this whole situation. Also Eric Lin from HTC USA and Jason Gordon from HTC USA have cameos in this video. Our inspiration for this video was the movie "Cloverfield". Here is the video (you need Flash-enabled browser to see it): HTC launch event in London in 2009: chit-chat with John Wang from HTC June 24, 2009; [with touch-screen] We asked plenty things, including how it is possible that Apple has told Google not to use multi-touch in Android and Google complied but still HTC is now releasing multi-touch phones powered by Android! We also asked what's up with Windows Mobile. Read on!
