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:
Conflipper is a household name in the PPC community. Not just for cooking ROMs but also for his ability to get his hands on ROMs before anyone else and to delve deep into them while always sharing the goodies he found.

So you didn’t have time to read the multi-page reviews from ZDNet, CNet, Gizmodo, Engadget, Mobile Crunch BGR and Windows Super Site? [Sorry but I couldn’t get to the others beyond those myself;)] Well here’s an aggregate of what they had to say about various aspects of their Windows Phone 7 experience. All you get is quotes from the sites themselves – their words, not mine. Multiple sites had the same comments and I’m just randomly picking the ones that work best as snippets. Some sites really focused on certain areas and some omitted some areas entirely so this attempts to bring them all together for you – the good and the bad. But I’m not going to discuss hardware since the hardware they are testing on is not going to be released to the public. We’re getting better stuff;) Similarly, I’m not going to go into details about the UI itself. By now I think our readers know about the UI and I’ll just briefly address it in the Conclusions section.

Ever reach for your phone to snap a quick photo but first you need to unlock it and then launch the camera? Well that won’t happen with Windows Phone 7.

Over the years after having gotten a new WinMo phone, starting with the Cingular 8125 (my first cell phone) to the 8525, I’d bequeath my old phone to my mom. Now having finally seen the promised land with Google and Android, I have developed a pronounced sense of guilt not just for giving my own … Read more
Before you get too excited, the minimum specifications for WP7 do not require a front facing camera but nothing prohibits it (unlike screen resolution which is limited to two resolutions). Apparently MS is going to support front facing cameras as the latest build shows ‘SelfPortraitCamera’ which Justin Angel has uncovered. Now remember, WM6.5 can has … Read more
