Remember how I was gripping about how Windows Phone 7 didn’t seem to have an official release date ? Well, it appears my wish has been granted with this official and not-leaked ad. It follows the tradition of “ saving us from our phones “. And it has that lovely release date of 11.8.10. I was hoping I could try them out at CTIA Fall 2010, and I suppose a month’s wait will seem too long

I’ll admit it, I’m a big fan of Conan O’Brien and can’t wait for his show to come back on the air. I also have to give credit to O’Brien and crew for their recent use of social media and other new-age marketing mediums to promote the new show — and himself — ever since going off air amid the Tonight Show fiasco. Case in point, Team Coco, in partnership with AT&T, has launched the The Conan Blimp , which was launched into the skies above Philadelphia over the weekend. The bright orange blimp will travel all over the East Coast for the entire month of October with the simple graphic “CONAN” plastered on each side

Windows Phone 7 has finally landed. Today in New York, Steve Balmer launched Windows Phone 7 by saying that”The Windows Phone is a different kind of phone. Always delightful, wonderfully personal, and will help you get in, out, and back to life.” As corny as that sounds, so far it seems pretty true.

HTML5 promises a whole new realm of what’s possible both Online and especially in mobile, but experts are growing weary of the technology from a privacy point-of-view. In a New York Times article published over the weekend, numerous experts from all facets of the ecosystem gave their thoughts on what HTML5 will mean for the average consumer. The concern stems from the fact that the new Web language and its additional features present more tracking opportunities because the technology uses a process in which large amounts of data can be collected and stored on the user’s hard drive while online.

I’ve done my fair share of laughing at Microsoft’s adverts for their mobile devices in the past – they’ve always struck me as beyond lame. Today I just spotted an ad for the (just officially announced) Windows Phone – and I’m a little amazed to say it’s pretty good. It’s called ‘Really?’ and I think it’s quite clever and funny. It still doesn’t tell us or show us anything at all about what the new line of phones can do, but at least it doesn’t look like you need 3D glasses and a lot of illegal substances to enjoy it (cough, Zune ads, cough)
