Netflix for Windows Phone 7
Apr 23rd
Vertigo Software is a software solution provider for Microsoft that creates applications for their operating systems. They’re working very closely with Microsoft in order to create applications for their new mobile endeavor, Windows Phone 7. Here’s a sneak peak video at the Netflix app for Windows Phone 7. Please excuse the ‘short’ humor by Scott Stanfield, CEO of Vertigo (notice how no one laughed at his Hannah Montana and tanning joke 
). His company is one of Microsoft’s software solution providers for Windows Phone 7. With his army of 30 or so well-trained developers, you can’t expect him to bring you state-of-art mobile applications AND make you laugh.
Enjoy.
HTC a ‘major player’ for Windows Mobile 7
Dec 12th
Have you heard of HTC? God, why do I waste my time … of course you have! They own over 80% of the Smartphone marketshare. Until 2009, HTC produced mobile devices for Microsoft Windows Mobile 6. The mobile phone manufacturer recently “scaled back” their production for Windows Mobile phones and shifted this energy on Android devices.
Don’t freak out. Windows Mobile 7 will still be running on HTC phones. What we are seeing now is a balance of power/marketshare between one of the two largest technological powerhouse corporations in the WORLD: Google and Microsoft.
Since more than 80% of all Smartphone users have an HTC phone, the company decided to disversify by opening their doors to new mobile operating systems and creating devices for Google Android. And because HTC doesn’t know which operating system is more successful, they are going to use both of them.
