Man I love me some Lemmings. Classic game and it’s the sort of game you can play endlessly, stop and then pick it up and get hooked all over again. Here’s a version done in XNA for WP7 and you can get a feel for the board controls and how to use the various tools. … Read more
Just watch this (it’s choppy at the beginning because of the recording): Latest build of my WP7 game. This is actually the Windows Port (XNA ftw!) which I’ve used to get a smooth recording with Fraps. The game runs quite well in the WP7 emulator (24-30fps) but I am a bit concerned about how the … Read more
If you’re into Sudoku here’s a pretty nice and full featured version for WP7 including tips and, as you can see, it reorients itself for landscape or portrait. Curious what ‘import from camera’ is…I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Yeah it is embarrassing when your employees are rocking iPhones…I know Steve. Let’s see if this is verified by MS.
Paul Thurrott just wrote an interesting article about the simplicity versus functionality of Windows Phone 7 features and he uses the calendar in WP7 as an example. It’s obviously a very simple looking calendar and he has noted that functionally it is simple as well. Here’s an example of form over function: You create a … Read more
Not only do we have another Windows Phone 7 game demoed here but the developer states that he spent 6 hours to port it from Xbox to Windows Phone 7 (that may be time in so far – hard to tell the progress). But XNA on a phone will do that. Scribble Defense is an … Read more
Droid has Blockbuster on a 4.3” screen?! I’ve never thought that could happen in my life 😉 Waste of an ad much?
Gizmodo has dug up this graphic from OnlineMBA.com going through the app markets on iPhone, Android, Palm, Blackberry, WebOS and Windows Mobile. Some very interesting stats here. And as we now, these markets are in their infancy…
Because of it’s sheer size I’m cutting this up so hit the break to see it full sized with the remainder of the stats:
