Not all the big news is coming out of CES today: thanks to Nathan Weinberg's InsideMicrosoft blog, we were able to check out a purported internal document detailing the revolutionary new input methods planned for Windows Mobile 7 as well as a ton of supposed screenshots. If this information is, in fact, accurate, it looks like Redmond is planning at least three methods of interacting with the device aside from pressing the usual buttons. First, as you might expect, is multi-touch capability á la the iPhone or Microsoft's own Surface, but it looks like WinMo 7 handsets will also be controllable via shaking and also rotation the device, and even at a distance by way of camera-based gesture recognition. Again, no guarantees that any of these features will be included in the final version or that any of this info or images are even legit, but as you can see from the rather large gallery below, the mounting evidence is extremely compelling.
Growth driven by digital software and console hardware sales.
The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.
There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.
Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
These new paid games, game trials and “buy once, play anywhere” pricing are coming to Play.
Whao, I'm sold. THAT's the sort of stuff I was expecting from WM6.
ohh.. ohhh! a new microsoft product! run for you lives! I hear the Sony fanboys marching! frack (profafinity of the future) here they come... who? the Cylons ... the Sony Cylons! they may look like gamers... but they are not! anyways... nice to see Windows Mobile evolving...
I'm afraid the iPhone has won the mind and hearts of people in relation to this type of technology (touch screen); most will come to associate that with the iPod more so than any other product in the market, and its true. There are a few media players who have the same technology, like Samsungs media player, but hardly anyone knows about that - its all about the iPod.
But the battery life still sucks when watching video and surfing the net on it man, damn.
This looks great though. I hope Apple allow 3rd party applications on their products, I dont wanna jailbreak my iPod.
This sounds like a great new product for the Windows Mobile series of products, I know I will look into updating to something like this when it hits the market
