Friday, June 25, 2010 at 11:37AM Installed Wave 4 today… trying out the stuff now.
So far I am loving the new messenger particularly the strong focus on photos (mouse over and it will transition nicely)… but videos aren’t showing well, seems like a beta issue.
Wednesday, June 2, 2010 at 10:49PM Looking at computex and the numbers of windows 7 / windows ce 7 devices... I wonder if microsft is really that blindsighted OR they actually have a strategy moving forward...
Could it be that microsoft has a two prone approach to its tablet / mobile strategy? What do I mean...
1) windows 7 for all its glory has no touch sense in it. Out of the box it just won't cut it - BUT it might be an approach if tablet running that platform is meant as a media creation devices / strategy. Imagining easily porting or just install stuff like office / Photoshop or others onto a tablet running win 7 + some kind of UI add on pack to enhance the touch interface (example magnify glass type of control for those traditional windows all...)
2) while windows ce 7 is the managed code enviroment running sliverlight type of app, the type of app that windows phone 7 will share with. That's more a media consumption strategy devices. And manufacturer can innovate on the UI more freely like some of the mock ups we seen on computex 2010.
If those two strategy comes together, there is a glimpse of hope that it might work very well.
Microsoft has to be very clear on the development story + platform story with win 7 / win phone 7 / ce 7... Else it will only attrition more dev / user away from that ecosystem.
Oh, and all silverlight apps runs across all windows platform!!! How great that would be. Serious developer who wants more control goes the traditional route while the more indie type can try managed code with silverlight...
If only...
Sunday, March 7, 2010 at 02:35AM This has been wished for a while but finally, it’s coming. Shared code, single project targeting 3 different game platform, windows phone, windows pc, Xbox 360.
Check out Engadget for more details.
The architecture / design that went into this gaming platform, will most likely be brought to office / application area as well via Silverlight. Imagine a developers develop a torchlight application (not the best example but you get the idea) running on the windows phone, windows pc, browser, mac, linux… and anywhere where there is silverlight runtime. THAT WILL BE COOL!!!
This is a game changer!!! Not the UI design on the windows phone but this development synergy will lure existing Apple / Android developers over!
Can’t wait to see the details at MIX10

Monday, January 11, 2010 at 01:12PM I wonder, did the ‘Slate’ term got leaked way before CES to Apple juice machine and thus the registered domain of islate or… the other way round.
I mean… most would say it’s apple’s idea first and CES vendors just took and try to downplay apple’s upcoming event… but, could it just be… the other way around?
I wonder…
