Windows Mobile smartphone sales going downhill
HTCPedia.com is reporting that
As smartphone sales surged by 13% in the third quarter one would think that this increased sales would necessarily be seen by such a powerhouse as the Windows Mobile operating system supported smartphones. Well, that just wasn’t the case as the sale of smartphones that are running the Windows Mobile operating system actually decreased by 20% in the third quarter according to Gartner.
But with new WM6.5 devices like the HTC HD2 in the market the future is looking good for Windows Mobile and with WM7 next year, we should see the number of WM devices going up soon.
[ Press Release ] U.S. Navy Research Exercise with Windows Mobile
WinMo
To explore options for reducing IT costs while enabling a mobile workforce, the U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR) has conducted field testing of a mobile command and control solution comprised of off- the-shelf components, including Microsoft® tools and technologies and phones powered by Windows Mobile. The exercise included Inca X’s Live Media GPS and enabled ONR to demonstrate innovative ways to leverage IT for collecting and analyzing operational data.
ONR Director of Disruptive Business Technologies Dano DeBroux initiated the AMC proof-of-concept exercise to demonstrate how mobile platforms present a significant opportunity to reduce the Navy’s IT footprint and support infrastructure while enabling business and operational capabilities for its distributed, highly mobile workforce. The findings from an analysis of alternatives strongly favored technologies from Microsoft® and UK-based Inca X due to ease of integration with existing IT infrastructure and applications, Microsoft’s mobile and cloud technology roadmaps, and an architecture that supports custom and third-party application development.

Marketplace advanced copy protection cracked in less than 2 hours
windows marketplace Broken
As you may know, the PC version of marketplace went live yesterday with advance protection..this is a “better” protection than the original “CAB copy protection” Marketplace offered. This “advanced” protection uses license keys that are verified when you run the application, and given out and controlled by Microsoft.
The hacker developer Chainfire , who is a well know member in the xda-dev community has managed to bypass the protection with a generic hack that will completely bypass the entire code snippet provided by Microsoft that is supposed to check and validate your license code,for all Marketplace apps.
The 1st copy protection took him 5 mins to break and this one in under 2 hours. He will NOT release the code ( which is an exe file that runs in the background, good on ya mate ) but wants Microsoft to take notice of the issue and allow developers to to use their own licensing systems. via xda-developer

Developer portal improvements and stronger anti-piracy protection
Today’s update provides more advanced anti-piracy protection. While the underlying technical changes will be transparent for customers, developers will now be able to take advantage of these new protections by following the steps outlined in this anti-piracy whitepaper. As always, updates to existing applications can be submitted for free. To learn more about developing applications for Windows phones, head over to the Windows Mobile for Developers site.
Browse and buy applications from the PC
Starting today, Windows phone customers can browse, buy and download applications online at the Windows Marketplace for Mobile site. The selected applications are delivered wirelessly to the customer’s Windows phone and install the next time the Windows Marketplace client runs on the device. This creates another way for customers to easily find and purchase applications and gives developers a whole new level of exposure.
There are also reports that Windows Mobile 6.0 and 6.1 customers will get the Marketplace addon this month.
NOTE : Anyone figure out how to download it on the PC, I am lost… I tried siging it with a test account but found no option to download/queue the app
