WMC 2010: It’s beginning
by MDF on Feb.15, 2010, under Quick Thoughts
It's OK, you can have a quick peek
I’ve just been over at Kotaku’s house. They certainly did have some news going down over there. See that picture there? It’s what appears to be Windows Mobile 7. Do you see what else is there? XBOX Live. As Kotaku put it… that’s some tight integration, right on the home screen. Hot.
World Mobile Congress is happening today, soon. We’ll write something soon when more details about this platform synergy emerges.
XBOX Live support for Daddy XBOX cut

"The End"
“I think you knew deep down that someday soon this would happen…” Said XBOX Live to Daddy XBOX. They were sat at a table in a cold, concrete room with fluorescent lighting.
Daddy XBOX just sat there… looking down. Quietly contemplating a response, but knew it was the wrong thing to do. About 20 seconds pass by… the silence getting louder as every second passed by.
Daddy XBOX: “… so, when”
XBOX Live (immediately cuts in): “April 15th.”
Daddy XBOX: “…”
Daddy XBOX starts walking to the door… slowly, with his head down. Just as he opens the door…
XBOX Live: “Listen, wait! …”
Daddy XBOX pauses, still with his head down and his hand on the door handle.
XBOX Live: “You’ve had a good run. An amazing 8 year run… you showed the world just what can be achieved with online gaming on the home console. You paved the way for MILLIONS of happy gamers getting online… and you have set the standard forever. Your legacy is only going to get greater as time goes on. You should be proud of yourself…”
Daddy XBOX stays silent for a few seconds… thinking…. then continues opening the door to leave. Just as he turns around to close the door completely, he lifts his head up and smiles at XBOX Live.
The door closes.

Zune. Microsoft Zune. How much do you know about Microsoft’s media and hardware delivery platform? Probably not too much. What purpose does it actually serve you as the consumer? What does the future hold for their relatively quiet service? And why is 2010 an important year for Microsoft? Redmond is planning an invasion… and we’re starting to see just what this year has in store. (continue reading…)
