Interesting video (from Channel 9) showing a preview of the winPhone 7 OS.
I am just a bit worried about the localized version of Bing. So far I have seen it working in the US. Does that mean that Bing will be updated for a worldwide support or that the winPhone7 will be available only in the US until it is done?
After playing with Pivot, I have been really existed by the possibilities that Pivot offers.
“Pivot makes it easier to interact with massive amounts of data in ways that are powerful, informative, and fun.”
Simply speaking, Pivot is a tool that helps us visually browse collections of information.

What really excite me is that Pivot is based on the concept of collections (group of objects that have common attributes). For website with huge amount of information, as Wikipedia, it is really a great way of browsing because you can apply filter information and have a visual result. These collection can also be assembled manually (it is a simple XML file) so it could be a great way to share an important amount of information easily.

This mobile personal assistant looks awesome!
Unfortunately, for business model reason (the application is free and make money on referrals fees whenever someone buy through the service), the service works only in the US…
Interesting interview to watch with the Siri CEO and VP engineering.
Still is a great application to have on your pocket :)
Currently the application is available only on the iPhone but they claim to have support for other mobile platform coming soon.
