How iPhone OS destroys Windows Phone 7 without even shipping

As well as going up against this entrenched legacy, Redmond has the additional problem that Windows Phone 7 is, essentially, a version one product. Yes, I know Windows Mobile 6 is awful—every day I curse my Touch Pro for its hateful software—but in spite of its massively flawed user interface and weak kernel, it's a mature product, and this maturity has brought features like enterprise configurability, multitasking, copy and paste, and a range of other benefits.

I'm not going to pretend that Windows Mobile was a viable basis for future development. The entire front-end needs to be replaced with something that's finger-friendly, and the kernel needs to be replaced with something offering true memory protection and unlimited multitasking. There are also substantial benefits to tighter control of the platform and its hardware, so I certainly understand and agree with the broad direction of Windows Phone 7.

And, as version one products go, it doesn't look too bad. I think the UI concept is strong and striking; in limited usage it seems to work well. In certain areas, Microsoft's product is clearly better thought-out than Apple's—a "glanceable" interface that tells you what you need to know, the hubs concept that brings together different but related data silos, the connectivity with social networking, and wireless syncing. It also has a development environment that will (I believe) have lower entry barriers than Apple's and make it easier for developers to produce high-quality applications that fit well within the OS (something never achieved on Windows Mobile).

Ever since Apple’s iAd announcement yesterday, many have questioned whether the lack of Flash is going to dilute the effectiveness and long-term viability of the platform, and what it means for the future of mobile advertising on Apple’s devices. One such person with a keen interest is Greystripe CEO Michael Chang, who yesterday released a response regarding his views on the whole situation. Greystripe is an ad-network that utilizes Flash-based transcoding to bring the technology to Apple devices, and as such, was watching the iAd announcement very closely

Things are getting tricky in the world of SMS campaigns in relation to the TCPA, now that courts are upholding the fact that SMS is considered a “call” as defined by the TCPA and therefore subject to the same strict guidelines as phone solicitations. We’ve already covered a few cases whereby the sender of so-called “unsolicited SMS” has been found in violation of the TCPA even though a certain amount of ambiguity surrounds the situations, and now it seems Twentieth Century Fox is facing the same scrutiny with an SMS campaign sent almost five years ago. Back in October of 2005, Twentieth Century Fox sent text messages to various consumers advertising the release of its “Robots” movie on DVD.
