mySpot

mySpot is a pocket pc software that provides access to the Spotify service on the Windows Mobile platform. It should works with any QVGA, VGA or WVGA device running Windows Mobile 6.0 or higher (see the additional requirements below). Spotify is a proprietary peer-to-peer music streaming service that allows instant listening to specific tracks or albums with virtually no buffering delay. Music can be browsed by artists, albums, record labels or created playlists as well as by direct searches. Although, due to the system’s DRM, it is not possible to save the streamed music for use outside the application, a link is provided to allow the listener to directly purchase the material via partner retailers. The service is currently only available in Sweden, Norway, Finland, the United Kingdom, France and Spain.

Features:

Full implementation of the Spotify search and top list functions
Choose your own media player – define how each track is played (CorePlayer v1.30 is recommended)
Album artwork can also be downloaded as required

Requirements:

The .NET 2.0 Compact Framework (which should come with Windows Mobile 6.0 and above as standard)
A Premium Spotify Account (register at http://www.spotify.com)
A media player that supports the ogg audio format (eg. CorePlayer)
The app requires a data connection to work

Bsquare Signs Windows Mobile Distribution Agreement With Microsoft – Good or Bad

Category: News

Microsoft has signed on a third-party, Bsquared, to be the first and currently exclusive distributor for Windows Mobile licenses worldwide. Till now Microsoft has had full control of Windows Mobile licensing to OEMs like HTC, Acer, Samsung, etc who would purchase them to ship with their mobile phones. Now the power is in the hands of Bsquared who will on top of just selling licenses, also provide reference designs, communication stacks, technical support, training, testing, value-added products to the OEM partners. Bsquare currently distributes Windows Embedded licenses in North America and offers system integration services at 10 development centers located in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Taiwan, China and India.

The Good :

Now microsoft can concentrate on developing the platform and pushing it out to Bsquared. Who will deal with OEMs.
Microsoft can divert more resources towards product development and thus roll out updates faster.

The Bad :

Once Microsoft rolls out a new update , it has to go through Bsquare … can anyone else see WM7 getting delayed ?
How will Bsquare handle the xda-developers ROM scenario .. any thoughts ?
