Some great insights into Windows Phone 7 and its seemingly-living-and-breathing homescreen. My iPhone contract expires later this month, and were it not for the iPhone 4S I’d more than likely be considering the (terribly-named-but-impressive) Nokia Lumia 800 which runs Windows Phone 7.
Interesting exclusive from BGR with interviews with former RIM employees.
I’m pedantic enough to be a little irritated by the common “Web vs Native” usage. They’re all Web apps, and this argument is really about client platforms; no more, no less.
Makes for interesting reading. A choice quote:
Let’s obsess about what is best for the end user. We often make product decisions based on strategic alignment, partner requests or even legal advice — the end user doesn’t care. We simply have to admit that Apple is nailing this and it is one of the reasons they have people lining up overnight at stores around the world, and products sold out for months. These people aren’t hypnotized zombies, they simply love beautifully designed products that are user centric and work how they are supposed to work.
I’ve not yet had a chance to watch the full video, but if you’re looking for the complete rundown of what’s coming to Android this year, start here.
If you’re looking for some incredibly concise (and marketing-speak-free) explanations of what “4G” means then this blog post from UK carrier Three should be right up your street.

The folks at AllThingsD have posted their interview with the other Co-CEO of RIM - Mike Lazaridis - from the D: Dive Into Mobile conference last week. Tomorrow sees the interview with Andy Rubin.
Alas, the videos require Flash.
People call Steve Jobs defensive, secretive and flat-out evasive in interviews. But RIM’s CEO takes question evasion to a new level in this interview with Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher.
The Guardian summarises.
If you didn’t get a chance to see the full Android 2.2 Froyo introduction, here’s the Google I/O Android Keynote. Be warned, it’s eye-wateringly painful in the Apple bashing.
