by JonBot on Mar.09, 2010, under Windows Phone Thoughts

“T-Mobile has the release honors and is now showing the HD2 as “coming soon” in its phone inventory. We’ve also got the first “in the wild” shots courtesy of TmoNews showing that big Blockbuster shortcut linked front and center for downloading On Demand movies directly to the device. Still no firm price or date but $199.99 on contract ($449.99 unlocked) sometime around 24 March sounds about right”

Microsoft Tells Us What They Mean By Xbox Live on Windows Phone

by JonBot on Mar.07, 2010, under Windows Phone Thoughts

“Guess we don’t have to wait until MIX to have all our Windows Phone 7 Series questions answered! Microsoft’s Eric Rudder, speaking at TechEd Middle East, showed off a game developed in Visual Studio as a singular project (with 90% shared code) that plays on Windows with a keyboard, a Windows Phone 7 Series prototype device with accelerometer and touch controls, and the Xbox 360 with the Xbox gamepad.

The bright side for the 6.5 faithful, we suppose, is that Kindel closes by saying that they “will continue to work with our partners to… Continue reading
