Microsoft has seemed a great deal more focused on improving its product range and market influence in 2011, with Windows 8, Windows Phone Mango 7.5 and of course the acquisition of Skype for a small fortune back in May for a tidy 8.5 billion making up what has been a busy year for Steve Ballmer's company.
Released in late 2010, Kinectimals for Xbox 360 was considered as one of the best Kinect launch titles because of its involving, fun gameplay and endearing presentation.

Hello there, everyone! It’s time to do another post in our series of comparison posts in which, well, we compare stuff.

Samsung's recently released AllShare DLNA app offers Windows Phone owners of the Sammy persuasion the ability to share all kinds of media over a WiFi network to any DLNA-compatible TV or set-top box. The problem though, is that when attempting to run the app on certain Samsung devices, users were met with an error, and as a result were unable to take advantage of what AllShare has to offer. The popular belief is that Samsung doesn't want owners of certain handsets to have access to AllShare, though the reasoning is unclear. With that in mind, it's possible that users could experience some off behavior on certain handsets, but we've not seen any reports either for, or against that theory just yet.
Microsoft has shown off the deep integration between Windows Phone 7.5 and its Xbox Kinect once more, this time at the recent HTC Radar launch in Hong Kong.
