wp7 app marketplace, new apple stuff, IE9 nearing release
Aug 6, 2010 Tech
So app stores for mobiles seem to be the way to go now days, all the platforms seem to have them, Apple, Android, and Now MS are creating one, well, MS have always had a marketplace of sorts for the WM5/6 series of phone OS’s, but this one seems more intergrated because theyre adding it directly into the zune app. I guess they want a repeat of apples success. which has been oddly successful, despite the restrictions, but I guess its easy to make money when you market to the masses.
Speaking of apple stuff there have been rumours of new stuff coming out, like the iphone 5 (lol), new ipads and new ipods with touch screens. tbh, i dont know why they havent retired thier line of ipods, iphones do the same thing but add calling. ive yet to play with an ipad, might go to an apple store one time to have a play. apple stuff is generally nice looking 
Meanwhile in the world of MS, they just rolled out their newer version of hotmail. which is a lot faster. but also adds some useless option i wont use and adds some other stuff which means more clicks. meh. it seems like you can fit more emails on a page though which is good. and i like the speed, and the fact it doesnt load msn program >.< that pissed me off with the last version, although, I guess thats still a possibility for this version, it could be added, which will be annoying lol, but i’ll most likely be uninstalling it soon anyways, its gotten way to bloated for me. (3 processes for 1 chat client, wtf?!).
Also new from microsoft, well, not yet, IE9, nearing release in sept. I havent had a chance to try out any of the previews yet. But I really hope it matches the speed of opera and chrome because IE7 & 8 are slow as hell. not as slow as firefox, but still pretty slow :p
Yes I know I havent updated this blog in a while, I just havent got round to it, I hope to be mre frequent in the future, but you never know
