There's "a lot of horizontal movements, a lot of additional info by clicks. Here's what he's saying via Twitter: the OS has been built on scratch, and none of the old WinMo 6.x apps worked.
#ELDAR Q EMULATOR WINDOWS#
This time he might've just outdone himself with some apparent hands-on time with Windows Mobile 7. The Russian-borne phone guru manages to get his hands on an ample number of then-unreleased devices and juicy scoops - but he's also been known to get things dead wrong from time, so keep that in mind.
In case you weren't aware, Mobile-review's Eldar Murtazin is somewhat of a living legend around these parts. But you can never, ever count out Google & M$ as they have the deep pockets to win a drawn-out grudge match. It's got a good buzz, friends are joining the party left and right but you're starting to see a lack of focus and a solid future roadmap.Īt the end of the day, I think the tightly-controlled hardware/OS/marketplace ecosystems (Apple, Palm, RIM) SHOULD emerge victorious. Not an encouraging sign for users to develop any long-term attachment to the platform.Īndroid is like a kid with his dad's credit card on a drunken rampage through Vegas-he knows he's gonna get cut off eventually but he doesn't know when it's going to occur so he's going to have as much fun as possible while it lasts. I've got apps on my Droid (primiarly games) that run WORSE now than they did 2 months ago. I forsee the exact same fate for Android. There are so many crazy-quilt configurations of WM hardware/OS builds/software releases that it became a huge headache trying to keep track of what supports what and what programs run on various OS versions. The MAIN thing M$ needs to avoid with WM going forward is the absolutely horrorshow of fragmenting the market. Killing off unecessary products & initiatives like Works & Encarta is a good start. But at least they appear committed to it going forward. #3 Microsoft seems to have finally awakened and realized that they need to tie together the jumble of platforms & initiatives that are Windows, Windows Mobile, Windows Live, Xbox Live, Xbox 360+, Bing, and Zune. I honestly think M$ could sorta do like Palm coulda done had they had deeper pockets and a mix of old/new management-support the legacy users for another year or two with WM 6.x devices & support, while starting anew with WM7 to go head to head with iPhone, WebOS & Android. Hopefully it is laying the groundwork for a completely reboot of WM7. I expected M$ to can the entire Zune division/initiative but this one really has been a pleasant surprise. Not BLOWN away, but it mitigates the ho-hum Vista release (which was in itself overblown and overhyped by the media) and will finally put the creaky old XP out to pasture. And give it better PIMs than all of 'em!Ĭall me crazy, but I actually have something of a moderately high hope for WM7. I DEARLY hope they do a ground-up rewrite for WM7! Banish every vestige of the past and come up with something more modern than iPhone, better supported & less restrictive than WebOS, and more controlled with Android. And when you look at the product, I'm sort of like, I have the luxury of having seen it, to be able to look at it and played with it a little bit, but I'm certainly confident people are going to see it as something that's differentiated and something that really does move the bar forward, not in an evolutionary way from where we are today, but it's something that feels, looks, acts and performs completely different. So, the challenge for us as we come into 2010 and we are going to have some new things that will talk about at Mobile World Congress, as we come into that, the first bar people should look at is to say, wow, are they doing a great job with the product. And I'll just be as straightforward as that. I don't think we have some specific challenge outside of the fact that our experience is very skewed towards business users, and it's not as modern as it needs to be. I don't think we have a business model problem, per se. ROBBIE BACH: So, I think the number one thing that we have to do on Windows Mobile going forward is about the experience people had with the phone itself.
regardless, why would i want to invest in a new dying platform with a choice between a crappy cheap slider or a small screen - not to mention all of the bugs, shit quality, and proprietary BS?
#ELDAR Q EMULATOR SOFTWARE#
palm and webos is not a contender unless they drastically increase product hardware build quality, fix software bugs, fix design flaws, and open the closed proprietary black box PIM data synergy silos they force you to use (ex. i like Android, but the PIMs and the polish is not there - yet. we'll see what Windows Mobile 7 offers too. if/when the iphone comes to Sprint, i'll probably get one. I posted here a while back that i tested the iphone and that the onscreen keyboard was just fine.
