Latest Mobile Windows News: For developers: Windows Phone Camp comes to Florida this December October 29, 2009; [General] If you are a developer, even a brilliant one, it is always beneficial to drop by to an event organized by the company that makes the damn platform (here: Windows Mobile 6.5). While Windows Marketplace for Mobile is still in early phases of development - to put it very mildly - Microsoft will be releasing by the end of this year, officially, the Marketplace for older Windows Mobile 6 and 6.1 phones, so business opportunity for Windows Mobile developers will increase significantly soon!  more...

While Adobe has been promising many times a release of full Flash 9, or maybe even 10, for Windows Mobile and other open smartphones, it has not happened yet. In meantime if you have Opera browser in your Windows phone (what is very likely as some manufacturers like HTC are including it in their every phone), then you can get Flash 9, kind-of, already now: more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 3 Comments ] Apple dumps Windows handhelds October 29, 2009; [General] It's not powered by Windows Mobile.

Unlike most people who are reporting about Windows Mobile, we have met Peter Chou in person, talked to him one on one and even we were shaking hands with him. In few weeks HTC will launch HTC HD2 that will be a breath of fresh air into Windows Mobile world and this phone will be cheaper than expected - available in some countries merely for 540 euro - and it is doomed to be super hit. No, sorry, super super hit. In this interview Peter Chou, CEO of HTC reveals some interesting stuff, including: more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 4 Comments ]GPS Tuner Atlas for Windows Mobile released and Google releases free turn-by-turn GPS navigation for Android only October 28, 2009; [General] Today Google has announced totally free turn-by-turn GPS navigation with 3D street view support even - but only for Android phones. All other companies making GPS navigation software are therefore screwed, including Garmin, TomTom and other makers of GPS navigation software. GPS Tuner Atlas is yet another GPS navigation software for Windows Mobile, and the cheapest version of it is available for 90 US dollars... what is infinitely more than totally FREE offering from Google... oops. more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 11 Comments ]Windows Mobile 7 will not be announced at Mobile World Congress 2010 in February 2010 October 28, 2009; [with touch-screen] It looks more and more likely that first Windows Mobile 7 phones will come at the end of 2010, not even in the first half of 2010... more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 1 Comment ]For Developers: Project Resistence: Source code for iPhone and Windows Mobile port will be available October 28, 2009; [with touch-screen] We are not sure whether developing in .NET for Windows Mobile is a good idea as everything can be easily decoded (developing in native code does not have this problem), but some MVPs (those who got MVP for software development skills, not a regular Windows Mobile MVPs who are not developers) are busy: they want to release something that shows development process of Windows Mobile apps with .NET and they mean complete process, including submission to Windows Mobile app store (i.e. Windows Marketplace for Mobile): more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 1 Comment ]T3 advertising agency gets big deal from Microsoft about Windows phone October 27, 2009; [with touch-screen] Windows Mobile app store is a total disaster by now and developers are earning close to nothing off this store... ... but at least somebody is earning money off Windows phones: advertising agencies... more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later)HTC Diamond2 gets official update to Windows Mobile 6.5 but old Diamond - no chance October 27, 2009; [with touch-screen] While even 2 years old iPhone 2G can be updated with latest software, HTC Diamond is out of luck.

It's a pity that Samsung doesn't have a Windows Mobile 6.5 powered phone in this form factor in Europe... more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later)Previous page Next page |
