Multi-Platform Development May Become Real with WP7S

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:10:54 +0000

In a CES keynote or two of year’s past, Bill Gates talked about a future where we’d be able to share certain computer experiences across multiple devices. Most commonly that means the PC, phone, and TV. The idea of being able to start a task on your PC and finish it on your phone or on the TV in the living room is a truly compelling idea.
With Windows Phone 7 series and the recent demonstration of a true multi-platform game that you can start on your computer and continue on your phone or Xbox (thanks to common XNA development), we may start to see some killer ways to leverage this concept. The most common example is in gaming, but there are many other scenarios where a multi-platform approach would lead to some cool possibilities. Add the Courier to the mix (due to be released later this year), and the potential expands. Imagine taking notes on your Courier in a meeting. The notes are sync’ed to the cloud, and on your way to lunch, you pull out your phone and review the notes you took earlier. Then, you get back to your laptop, pull up the same notes, and use several quotations in a PowerPoint presentation you’re working on.
Another example of how multi-platform development could enrich our lives is through entertainment. Start a TV show on your desktop, continue where you left off on your phone as you commute to work, then finish the show on your Xbox in your living room when you get home in the evening.
Also consider looking for a new restaurant to try. You use an application on your PC to narrow the choices. Then, you get in the car, and your phone knows which restaurant you’ve chosen, and it launches the navigation software to help you get to your destination.
You can already do a lot of these things through different applications and protocols. But the idea behind multi-platform development is that the apps are programed in common languages, which allows for consistent interfaces and experiences, whether you’re looking at a 3.8″ screen or a 42″ screen.
What killer multi-platform apps or tasks would you like to be seen made possible?

Eric Rudder Playing Indiana Jones On Stage

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 10:05:18 +0000

“Guess we don’t have to wait until MIX to have all our Windows Phone 7 Series questions answered! Microsoft’s Eric Rudder, speaking at TechEd Middle East, showed off a game developed in Visual Studio as a singular project (with 90% shared code) that plays on Windows with a keyboard, a Windows Phone 7 Series prototype device with accelerometer and touch controls, and the Xbox 360 with the Xbox gamepad. Interestingly, not only is the development cross-platform friendly, but the game itself (a simple Indiana Jones platformer was demoed) saves its place and lets you resume from that spot on whichever platform you happen to pick up.”

Current Windows Mobile apps won’t work on Windows Phone 7

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 10:05:13 +0000

Confirming many a suspicion, a top exec for Microsoft’s mobile division admitted Thursday that thousands of existing Windows Mobile apps won’t be compatible with the upcoming—and radically overhauled—Windows Phone 7 OS.Microsoft exec Charlie Kindel told reporters during an event Thursday that Windows Phone 7 “marks a pretty distinct break with past versions of Windows Mobile,” according to CNET—not a shocking revelation, given that the new Zune-like touchscreen OS looks nothing like the labyrinthine Windows Mobile UI of old.
In an accompanying blog post, Kindel wrote that “the cost of going from good to great is a clean break from the past,” meaning that “previous Windows Mobile applications will not run on Windows Phone 7 Series.”
That’s not to say that existing Windows Mobile apps—and there are many thousands of them—couldn’t be modified to work on WP7, Kindel said (as quoted in the CNET story), but it sounds like the process wouldn’t be an easy one. “In some cases, some work can be done to get those apps to run, but it’s fundamentally a different platform,” he said.
Kindel also confirmed another recent rumor: That Windows Mobile 6.5, obsolete though it is, isn’t going anywhere.
“We will continue to work with our partners to deliver new devices based on Windows Mobile 6.5 and will support those products for many years to come,” Kindel wrote on his blog. (Now, why anyone would want to buy a Windows Mobile 6.5 phone now that Windows Phone 7 is on the way is an open question.)
Meanwhile, we’ve still getting mixed messages from Microsoft about which existing Windows Mobile 6 handsets will be upgradable to Windows Phone 7 … if, indeed, they’ll be upgradeable at all.
Just a few days ago, a Microsoft spokesperson essentially punted on the question, telling me that “we cannot confirm that WM6.X phones that satisfy [Windows Phone 7 hardware] requirements will be upgradable.” But during Thursday’s Microsoft mobile event, “the company also confirmed that it has no current plans to allow any current Windows Mobile phones to run the new OS,” CNET reports.
Microsoft has promised to answer more of our Windows Phone 7 compatibility questions at its MIX developer conference in Vegas later this month. In the meantime, though, Engadget is plaintively asking Redmond to “please put a line in the sand and tell us” if the red-hot HTC HD2—an upcoming Windows Mobile 6.5 handset for T-Mobile with “the best hardware we’ve ever seen”—”will be upgradeable to Windows Phone 7 Series.”
So, what do you think: Shocked (or not) that Windows Mobile 6.x apps won”t work on Windows Phone 7? Annoyed that your old WM6.x apps are obsolete, or are you fine with making a “clean break”?
