Waiting for a promise: Windows Phone 7
Will Microsoft be able to deliver something innovative for a change? We like Microsoft for giving us one of their Windows 7 Phones, but only if it actually is worth something to us. We like the ideas behind their mobile interface design, but it all comes down to the actual implementation of these ideas into something nice and comprehensive. It is supposed to arrive sometime this month, so we are waiting eagerly.
We have almost fully dropped our faith in Windows as a mobile platform to develop for because a) customers don’t download apps, b) there aren’t much customers anyways, c) the SDK sucks (you can’t really create anything cool, and d) no matter how hard you try, the app you build will never feel snappy, it wil always be SLOW. We don’t want to create apps that are not cool and slow….
The promise of WP 7 is an interface that is in line with our Spatial Navigation ideas, and a complete revamp of the OS….we are waiting for the delivery and update you with our findings.
