In a recent review of a Racing game from the WM Marketplace we came across a disturbing practice by one particular developer. When a customer is looking for apps / games from the marketplace they usually have to go by the description of the app , the screenshots and user reviews. Since the Marketplace is not very popular among WM users the user review part of that gets thrown out the window. So as we see it the Screenshots of the app plays a very important part in making the decision as to purchase the app or not.

iPhone Development lure
There was some interesting post by Cristine Gonzalez over @ venturebeat.com. The first one goes by the title ” iPhone devotion blinds Silicon Valley app developers “. They try to point out developers are missing out when they choose to ignore the other platform and concentrate on the iPhone.
Then the developers had their say as to why they choose iPhone development over Symbian, Windows Mobile and the other players. You can read some of the reactions over @ another post titled ” Mobile app developers fire back: Nokia sucks! ”
A lot rests with the new Marketplace for Windows Mobile, that will be shipped with WM6.5. I believe it will be a make or break turning point for the future of Windows Mobile. Apple has put a lot of work in to the iPhone and many of the drawbacks has been dealt with ( not yet but with the release of version 3.0 of their firmware ) but there are still some drawbacks like no background process, etc. As a user of both Windows Mobile and the iPhone, I feel that the iPhone is looking more and more attractive as the days goes by. What do you guys think ?
