Rovio announced today that the popular Angry Birds game is now available for Windows Phone 7. With such a well-known game on board with Microsoft's platform, could Windows Phone have a future as a casual gaming device?
It’s no secret that a lot of of the new features announced in iOS 5 seem to be taken straight out of competing mobile operating systems like Android, BlackBerry OS and, of course, Windows Phone 7.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has promised over 500 new features will be present in the company's next release of Windows Phone 7.x.
Carlo Bozotti, CEO of European semiconductor maker STMicroelectronics, has revealed that Nokia's future Windows Phones would be powered by ST-Ericsson-powered chips, unlike all Windows Phones available to date, which run on Qualcomm's well-known Snapdragon processor.
Its official now folks! The Skype+Microsoft deal is a go, with the Redmond-based software giant announcing today that they have acquired Skype for a whooping $8.5 Billion.
It's a funny time in the world of Windows Phone 7. So much is going on right now, with NoDo bringing copy & paste to the platform and multitasking not far away, yet it's almost like people don't even know it's there. One thing we do know is there is one random build of the operating system, apparently installed on an Italian LG Optimus 7 is floating around in the wild.
The world of Windows Phone 7 is starting to hot up these days, with the infamous NoDo update starting to roll out to lucky handset owners. Now the fledgling OS is in the headlines once again thanks to 'The Dark Force Team', a group of hackers who sprung to fame when they managed to get WP7 onto the popular HTC HD2 hardware.
Microsoft has finally rolled out the much awaited Windows Phone 7 update, dubbed “NoDo”, for all Windows Phone 7 users, which among other improvements, brings copy/paste functionality to Windows Phone 7 devices.
Yes you read that right ! Its official now, and its happening. Nokia’s CEO Stephen Elop has announced partnership with Microsoft on bringing Windows Phone 7 as the primary smartphone platform to its handsets. Joining him on-stage was Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer.
With Nokia's recent issues with poor sales and dodgy software, it's perhaps unsurprising that rumors are once again abound that the mobile phone behemoth is batting its eyelashes at a 3rd party operating system with the hopes of improving its ailing fortunes. This time it's Microsoft's Windows Phone 7.
