They have Gran Tursimo coming up. That and Kinect should counter each other and the neverending (senseless battle) will continue.
If those numbers are real, for CoD no less, PC Gaming should be concerned.
>>For the record I think that the iphone and Android phones are great. <<
Me too. I have a Captivate Android and iPhone 4 collecting dust now. They were great, though, I left iPhone for Android and had to go back, Droid doesn't interface enough or well enough with desktop stuff for me, but with WP7, I'm not going back to either. I'm amazed and the performance and responsiveness. I just didn't expect that.
Edit: Android will ne...
Actually, core apps do multitask. Third parties, not yet. I have not noticed any negative to this at the moment. Of course, my GPS fitness app isn't on it yet, and that's where I'd see it. I'd just have to lock the screen just like I did on iPhone all these years until iOS 4.
WP7, on the Focus, is so much faster and more responsive than Android and iOS4, this just hasn't been an issue at all, yet.
Copy/Paste Jan/Feb 11. SD Cards, yes Focus does. It's up to the manufacturer. MS doesn't want them. ONly thing is you can't use a cheap one, Class 4 or higher. And it becomes a part of system memory, you add it once.
Like the iPhone, which has no SD at all, you have to pay a fortune.
WP7's bluetooth works great, including AVCRP which took iPhone 4 years to get. And syncs beautifully with Windows, unlike Droid which syncs easily with nothin...
The Samsung Focus rocks as well. MS does need to get some more apps out though. The essentials are there, but no Navigon GPS Navigation, and almost no Fitness apps. They are coming though. But WP7 won't reach its potential until marketplace fills up.
I'm worried because a lot of shovelware is turning up on the store.
XBL on WP7 is great. Just need more games.
Multiplayer Descent? Brings back PC memories.
Was that a Sentinel at 1:02 on the Wolvering table? Awesome.
He didn't say anything negative about the xbox, he said it won't do anytyhing in Japan, and it won't.
So do people in San Francisco, it's not like they live in cubby holes and they don't all live on riverboats either.
iPhone sales are not comparable. iPhone does not dominate the cell phone market. There are not only 3 major cell phone makers with 2 of them being Japanese with an upstart American company destroying that dominance.
Japan prefer flip phones which are dominated by Japanese companies. While iPhone is the most popular smartphone, it does not threaten Japan's cell phone dominance at this time.
As long as an American company dares to threaten Japanese dominance of console gaming, Japanese will NEVER by meaningful quantities of Xbox products. Period. If I'm wrong, we'll see. But I doubt it.
LOL, I'm sure they spent all 500 Million on the first day too. It all gone.
FWIW, they will be add-on tables for Pinball FX2 on Xbox.
Our CIO bought a Kinect bundle this weekend for his family. They have two little boys and no console. The wife wanted a Wii initially, they settled on Kinect/360. We'll see ...
Edit: He did say there were only two left. Depends on where you shop I guess.
Folders is a common item on the wish list. I'm good as all the apps I use fit on home screen, but that may change as I use more phone apps. Folders will be nice.
The Zune Marketplace and it's unified search I love. If you click on an area of the marketplace you only get those categories to browse, but you are right, the search is unified. Not only the store but your collection as well. I find this useful because you can see if you already own something, or what you ...
It does have pinch zoom but does not have copy/paste. It is scheduled for early 2011, for those who need it.
Been trying to stay out of this since I posted the article and I'm not looking for another versus platform but come on man,
Windows Phone absolutely does have pinch/zoom in web browser and pictures.
Depending on the hardware, you can add SD. I have a focus and added 16GB SD. It is not removable however. It adds the SD to the total system memory pool. If you want to pass around music on SD cards, stay with Android for sure.
And perfo...
Practially all new Blu-ray recorders are BDXLs right now. Sony has at least 6 of them.
