So HTC manufacture the HD2, the most powerful smartphone and Windows Phone current on the market they also produce many other high profile Windows Phones and without the company the Windows Phones would be in a far worse state than the platform currently is. HTC have also worked with Microsoft on the HTC Shift which [...]

In this post I want to look at some of the trends we can expect to see over the next year from Microsoft and the wider tech world. 2010: The Year Of Touch We all know that Microsoft added Windows Touch to Windows 7 to bring touch computing mainstream and it will be this year [...]

Firstly I would just like to thank you all for reading this site (which is 7 months old now) for giving me feedback on what to improve and for sharing ideas. 2009 has been a pretty big year for Microsoft where they had to get thing rights and for the most part they did. Windows [...]

Several months months back I wrote a post about how I could see the Xbox’s Project Natal working well on PCs when combined with a projector, think Minority report.

I suppose firstly I should explain what I mean by singularity and individuality. I think of some devices as being [...]

Well there isn’t much to say about other than its awesome! I have taken a few quick pics of it that probably only rub it in that I have a HD2 and you don’t rather than inform of how good it is. Oh and I thought I would make it into a real Windows Phone [...]

Now there isn’t anything particularly wrong with Windows Mobile 6.1+ but then again there isn’t much right with it either. One can argue that Windows Mobile has more apps than any other mobile operating system but then there is no easy way to find and install those apps, let alone know if the app is [...]
