Now it gets reviewed by areamobile, who find the multi-touch device quite better considering the Windows platform. Grab the quick synopsis: “The remains unmatched advantage of Apple is the perfect software ecosystem that was created by the company during the past two years. Download and buy music and programs from iTunes and App Store are simply unbeatable. But if one sees the gigantic high-end mobile phone from HTC besides the iPhone, then it is suddenly aware of the many drawbacks of compulsory binding to the PC's iTunes software, the rudimentary Bluetooth support, the rigid arrangement of the user interface, the camera without flash that is not replaceable battery - but especially the high price and the adhesion contract with a network operator. It has been approvingly accepted with the knowledge, the best phone in the world in your hand and hold. But the competition is the development deficit made up. The HTC HD2 marks the beginning of a new generation of high-end smartphones, the Apple phone can suddenly look very old. The user can rejoice, because he is finally faced with a choice between different smart phones and operating systems, even if he has high standards.”]]> http://windowsphonemix.com/htc/another-look-at-htc-hd2/feed/ 0 http://windowsphonemix.com/news/issues-surround-windows-mobile-marketplace-an-initial-pitfall/ http://windowsphonemix.com/news/issues-surround-windows-mobile-marketplace-an-initial-pitfall/#comments Fri, 31 Jul 2009 20:41:51 +0000 http://windowsphonemix.com/?p=741 Race to Market Challenge’ that apparently seemed to be quite exciting for the devs and ISVs. But some issues have started cropping up. One of them are the registration problems that includes:

• Cumbersome registration process
• High cost of certification testing
• Payment issues regarding credit cards
• Not a student friendly program – freebies enrolled through Microsoft Dreamspark program not delighted
• No copyright protection guarantee
• Archaic process for identity verification, including attestation by a Public Notary
• Extra charges(about $99) for each application despite of it passing the required tests
• May not impress non-US citizens

With a large set of protocols defined for final submission, MS faces a tough game from the three giants-Blackberry, Apple and Nokia which are scoring high on management. Let’s see when MS fixes the bugs.]]> http://windowsphonemix.com/news/issues-surround-windows-mobile-marketplace-an-initial-pitfall/feed/ 0 http://windowsphonemix.com/news/damn-you-apple-where-is-windows-mobile/ http://windowsphonemix.com/news/damn-you-apple-where-is-windows-mobile/#comments Tue, 09 Jun 2009 20:18:36 +0000 http://windowsphonemix.com/?p=387 There are a lot of odd things that can observed in the graph above:

3. Palm Pre can run all old Palm OS apps
4. Nokia apps are much, much more than that too
5. Apple has too many fart apps (pun intended)
