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?
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.

It was a great surprise to read that Nokia will help Microsoft to port Silverlight to S60 platforms (also S40 and Internet Tablet later). It is certainly a smart move from Microsoft to target the biggest market first (Nokia got 53% of the worldwide mobile device market) but it’s quite strange from Microsoft to target first Symbian then Windows mobile (maybe one is more stable than the other?).
[...]“There is clear market demand for rich, Web-based services across a variety of device types, but developing these can often be commercially difficult. For Microsoft this extends Silverlight to a broader range of vendors, platforms and devices. For Nokia it expands the web runtime options on its devices, enabling a wider community of developers and more applications. This should help the uptake of higher speed mobile services and advance a new era of anytime, anywhere device-based computing”, said Bola Rotibi , Principal Analyst at Ovum.[...]
Anyway, read the complete article from ZDnet, or read the press-release from Nokia and go back to Flash Lite 3.0 ;)

I just came accross this video on youTube, Google Maps Mobile (GMM) has added a Location services based on CellID (Cell Of Origine).

Supported device: most web enabled phones such as Java, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and Symbian Based.
