It’s fortunate that we all have the ability as humans to grow, mature and learn from our mistakes and the mistakes of others. We wouldn’t be where we are today without the ability to adapt and learn. This fundamental principle not only applies to “macro” topics like culture; it applies to the little things as well.

Microsoft is fully committed to the Windows Mobile operating system as well as the associated application development tools for the long term, which is great news for enterprises that are heavily invested in Windows Mobile hardware; “Great news” at least on the surface

NEXT USER/DEVELOPER GROUP MEETING – Wednesday, April 21st
HTC issued a press release outlining its disagreement with Apple's lawsuit over alleged patents infringement reminding us along the way that they have been in the business since 1997. HTC built and released the first Windows PDA back in 1998 and the first Android Smartphone ten years later. It comes as no surprise that HTC has amassed an impressive amount of awards. Not sure that will help fight back Apple though

At MIX10 today, Microsoft unveiled the long awaited developer platform for the upcoming Windows Phone 7 Series devices. Windows Phone 7 Series was announced by Steve Ballmer at Mobile World Congress last month with devices to be available for sale by holiday 2010. Mobile development for Windows Phone 7 will take advantage of both Silverlight 4 (the full version not a watered down “Lite” version) and the XNA Framework for games that is used both on the Zune,Windows (Vista and 7) and Xbox 360 Platform. This will provide a rich environment for both internet based applications and game development. As expected, Windows Phone 7 will use The Marketplace to deliver applications to the device and providing developers with a 70% revenue share for applications sold

Sometimes it’s the “little things” that make life a little more enjoyable. It doesn’t have to be expensive, it just has to do a task and enhance an experience. Such is the case with a little program I ran across called LocateMe from Applied PDA Software . As I was perusing the apps at the Marketplace with my device, I ran across this neat utility that did one thing; it located my position with Latitude and Longitude. At first it just seemed too simple and I asked “why would I want this” but then as I thought about it, it seemed like a cool application to have. I could use it to find my exact location easily and save it for future reference. I could let others know exactly where I was by email or Text Message or I could save the position for future reference using a mapping application.
