Windows Phone splash screen
One of the top Australian new site ran a Mobile article today ”
Mobile movers take to the enterprise “. They compared the 5 leading mobile OS in the market.
Here is what they had to say about Windows Mobile
Microsoft says one of the best things about Windows Mobile is that it will be familiar to users of the Windows desktop operating system. However, this hasn’t stopped handset makers such as HTC from completely redesigning the user interface to something that looks slicker. The latest HTC HD2 is the first Windows-based device that uses a capacitive touchscreen. This allows you to use gestures such as zooming into websites, documents and pictures in a similar manner to the iPhone.
The most useful feature in Windows Mobile is arguably its backup feature. Microsoft My Phone allows users to back up all their data including contacts, calendar, photos and more, to a password-protected website.

The developer ” Yozgatg from xda-developer ” plans to release it tomorrow and I am sure all you guys who is looking to try Android on their WM device will be pleased to know about this. Detailed instruction and download from
xda-developers. Plz note that this does not install android for you but gives you an option to boot into the OS of your choice on reboot.
Props to mobilitydigest.com for the find. ( Thanks David )
manbolo
Meon is one of the most successful game from any indie developers in the Marketplace. We recently reviewed this windows mobile game. Today we chat to the guys behind this amazing game and find out their thoughts about marketplace and learn what is in store for us in the future from Manbolo.
A short Note on yourself and Manbolo.com .. how and why it started… Is it a one man project … etc
We’re three friends living in France (that explain our poor English…), we’re developing and making games since we’re 14 years old! Three years ago, we started Manbolo to develop some games for us just for fun, on Windows Mobile. We would like to make casual games, cheap but which were well programmed (small size, work on every device), kind of game that you like to play when you’re on the way to work (or during some meetings…) and not reserved to hard-core gamers. We’ve chosen Windows Mobile (sorry Windows Phone) because three years ago, it was easy to develop and sell your product on your own website or on web-vendors website, and also because Windows Mobile was among the most innovative smartphone platform. Today, a lot of things have changed, but we keep confident in the platform. We’re currently developing games under our brand Manbolo and also developing more ‘serious’ app as contractors for thirds parties.

Today we chat to Martin from slimCODE, with some great apps in the Marketplace under his belt. We look at his apps and how he got motivated to develop for Windows Mobile. His thoughts about Marketplace and what slimCODE has in store for us in the near future. :)
SlimCode
Tell us a bit about yourself and slimCODE.
It all started on a Vic-20, when I was 14. A few months later, I was already making programs too large for the wobbling 3.8 kb of RAM available for programs. After a brief Apple II+ era, I moved to a PC running MSDOS. It’s all been Microsoft since then, an attachment strongly linked with the quality of development environments available for their platforms.
After graduating in Computer Science at university, not before some wandering in Chemistry, I became a software consultant for Hydro-Quebec, then moved to work with friends who had started their own company three years before: Xceed Software. They were making a Zip compression library, selling to other developers. I worked there for 9 years, having the chance to learn and work with many development languages. Xceed was part of the .NET early adopters, so I had the chance to visit Redmond regularly to participate in the beta programs and ask questions to the same people who conceived the .NET Framework. Clearly, my years of C++ and COM programming were getting to an end. I’d become mostly a C# and .NET developer from now on.
Three years ago, I left Xceed and founded slimCODE. My goal was to develop Windows applications for the general market, and complete my revenues with consultancy projects here and there. But the reality struck me hard. My main software, slimKEYS, wasn’t popular enough to pay for the hosting alone. Web development for customers kept me alive, but that’s not what I wanted to do for a living. Then, my presence became more and more required at home (personal reasons) so you could say I’m now a part-time software developer and full-time dad/husband at home.
I was developing some hobby software for an old HP Jornada for some time now, but the purchase of a new Windows Mobile cell phone (an HTC P4000, or “Mogul”) convinced me there could be some potential on that platform. That, and the crazy idea the popularity that some iPhone apps had on the AppStore could be translated to the Windows Mobile platform. That’s why I moved almost all my development time to the Windows Mobile platform.
