I like the way Analysts approach the 800lb Gorilla with bad news. Very delicately but wrapped in positive sentiments. Such is the case with Mike Walkley of Canaccord Genuity that came out and said that he is expecting iPhone 4S sales to continue to slow down in developed markets. Basically saying that customers are not … Read more
I know a lot of you have felt the same frustration I have when buying a new device at launch. There is never any accessories to go with it. Device cases usually are the first to launch, but only in special circumstances and always outrageously priced do we see docking stations. If you like to … Read more
Paul Thurrott of Supersite for Windows has tweeted that the Audible for Windows Phone 7 app is due April 23rd, one week from today. As someone who just traversed over 3,000 miles in a 48 hour timespan I can assure you that this app is very welcome. Not everyone will have much use for the … Read more
…it gave me an interesting thought. While grabbing the Marketplace information for the Diablo 3 Guide article, I looked at Denham Software Solutions’ other offerings in the Marketplace, and took a gander at My Baby Book. Now, I can’t see an app ever taking the place of a physical baby book completely (you can’t keep … Read more
Newly released into the Windows Phone Marketplace is the Diablo III Guide, by Denham Software Solutions. (Ah! These are the same folks who brought us the Starbucks Card app, which has been very well received.) Denham Software Solutions is no stranger to game guides on the WP platform, evidently: they also have Skyrim, Mass Effect … Read more
So we’ve been hearing rumors of Win8 handsets coming out at the end of the year for a little while. The latest is unwiredview.com reports that Taiwanese site ePrice.com.tw reports (yeah, that’s a lot of reports there…) Samsung is confirming a Win8 (“Apollo”) handset in October. This makes some sense to me. That’s about the … Read more
RIM’s fall from grace has been well documented, and the company recently took another hit with the departure of two senior executives in what is starting to become a trend at the company. Senior Vice President Alan Brenner is in the midst of a transition period, while Alistair Mitchell, a vice president with BlackBerry’s instant … Read more
So if you’re jonesing for a Lumia 900, but don’t have $100, here’s your deal: Amazon.com is selling the Lumia 900 for $19.99 (existing customers, extending your contract for 2 years) or $49.99 (new customers, with 2-year contract). I do see one Teeny, Tiny problem in the checkout process. You’re required to choose your plan. … Read more
Nokia and Windows Phone are having three “Free Time Machine” events. They’re giving away a lot of stuff (grocery deliveries, cleaning service, dog-walking service, and access to personal concierges. Oh, and a few Nokia Lumia 900s). In each of the three cities (the usual ones – yaaaawn), they also have a celebrity guest giving away … Read more
This is the type of exposure and publicity that money can’t buy and its worth its weight in gold. The more public figures enjoy their experience and the hardware the more buzz will get out. I particularly like the fact that they brought up how people right now don’t even think about a Windows Phone … Read more
