I sometimes think I built the CDS Hub (Customized Usermin) for myself, and just let my co-workers use it out of the kindness of my heart!

AT&T Announces Pure and Tilt 2!

by JonBot on Oct.06, 2009, under Windows Phone Thoughts

http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?p…articleid=27204

“AT&T* and HTC Corporation, a global designer of mobile phones, today announced the upcoming availability of the HTC TiltTM 2 and the HTC PURETM with Windows® Mobile 6.5. The HTC PURE delivers a touch screen experience in an alluring, compact form factor, and the HTC Tilt 2 features the convenience of a tilting touch screen combined with the practicality of a slide out full QWERTY keyboard.”

Ah, AT&T is announcing two great Windows Phone offerings, the Pure (The HTC Touch Diamond 2) and the Tilt 2 (The HTC Touch Pro 2). Who knows what’s pure about a Touch Diamond, or why we didn’t see a crazy new name similar to “Fuze” (Perhaps the “Cerket Braker” or “Swich”), and I’m sure these two new offerings won’t help AT&T’s abysmal coverage issues (Hey, you’ll love the 70% of calls you don’t drop in NYC, right?)!

About Microsoft’s Marketplace Kill Switch

by JonBot on Sep.20, 2009, under Windows Phone Thoughts

http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/ne…tm_campaign=rss

“We have a bit of troubling news from Windows world today as a developer in attendance at Microsoft’s Tech.Ed New Zealand has relayed some interesting tidbits. Regarding the “Windows Marketplace for Mobile” – Microsoft’s version of the Apple App Store – Microsoft has confirmed the existence of a ‘kill switch’ for apps. In the event an approved app is later removed from the Marketplace, the app will also automatically be removed from users’ handsets. We’re not sure what this means for paid apps, though we doubt refunds will be issued automatically as well”

Boy Genius report is skeptical that refunds would be given if MS decided to drop the app kill hammer, however other reports such as this quote given to Ars Technica seem to contradict this strongly:

“In the rare event an application from Marketplace exhibits harmful behavior or has unforeseen effects, Marketplace has the capability to remotely uninstall these applications. While we hope to avoid this scenario, we will make refunds available in such cases.”

So yes, there is a kill switch, but no – users who buy something that gets killed won’t be out money. Come on guys – give Microsoft some credit to do the right thing. They aren’t Apple after all!
