Angry Re: Windows Phone 7 Discussion

Great JOB MS you broke WinMo.


First off if windows phone 7 turns out like it seems it will:

-no multitasking
-little oem customization
-apps installed from app store only
-social network integration is key
- 3 hardware button phones
- ZUNE HD + tiles

Then I'm going to be pissed. WTF Microsoft? You took everything I loved about WinMo and through it out the window? And so you can cover everything in a non-original Zune Theme? Why oh Why?

I expected-

1.A new kernal with support for things like
  • Multi-core processors
  • 2gb of memory space per application (thats a minimum)
  • Multi-touch and capacitive screen support
  • backwards compatability for winmo 6.X apps
  • hardware acceleration and accelerometer APIs
2.Higher resolution screens 1024X720 or something of that nature.
3.Better built-in web browser pocket IE 8 or something of that nature
4.Larger rom support with common rom sizes at 2gb, 1gb for Winmo7 1gb for apps.
5.Better format and codec support (flv, avi, etc.)
6.xbox live integration.
7. more capable media player (i.e. Zune player)
8. Performance tweaks, stability tweaks, better hardware support.

DID I GET ANY OF THOSE?
Yes, but only the least important ones!!! WTF Microsoft?? I don't know if I can jump ship to Android for this because that OS is still made of Java and obviously no more PocketPc than the iPhone. But I don't think I'm upgrading to winmo 7 either. I'm seriously dissapointed at this pile of crap. I wanted next generation windows mobile, not Zune HD+ tiles. This sucks Microsoft! I hope things are cleared up at MIX10. Because I'm not carrying around a Zune with microphone and internet connection. MY Touch pro 2 is nicer than that!
