Windows Mobile^H^H^H^H^H^H Phone is too slow to be used for browsing the web, let alone play games ... what are they thinking?
Get the OS act together, then add the games if it turns out they turned the frog into a prince! Have they ever heard of step-by-step? Never get anywhere when you hurry stuff out ...
Windows Mobile is Windows Phone in France, apparently (from the ads I see), have they renamed it in other countries as well?
If you're looking for step by step dev, try something open like the linux scene. Microsoft has always rushed a product out the door, then slowly make corrections as it sells. By the time it works they way they said it would, they stop supporting it and force you to buy into the next fad.
P.S. ~ no. It is still called windows mobile in the states
There was an article not long ago about Apple taking on the handheld gaming market.
It seems like today's news is being sucked through a category-5 wormhole and being delivered to Microsoft 6 months in our future.
I can't wait to hear about the Microsoft Tablet.
Bill Gates, because I suspect the wormhole was his leaving prank.

PS ..... Surprise yourself with some NEUKlearer Information Freely Shared for Knowledge Capture with a Search in Quantum Control Systems on the word ... JOINT. There will you discover Sleeping Partners Wide Awake and Sublimely ProActive in the Field. And if Google returns Nothing, then their Algorithms would be Subjective and therefore Suspect and Probably Subversive when Perverted to Display what is Third Party Decided rather than First and Second Party Supplied ......... for that would then put One in Control of Knowledge Flow as if One were a GOD.
The Enigmatic Abiding Dilemma for All Searching Engines and Virtual AIMachinery though, is that it is also a Most Constructive Facility and Service too, Able to Deliver Excellence from and into Myriad Seas and Sees of Mediocrity and Ignorant and Arrogant Hostility and would thus be of Great Benefit to Great Game Gurus.
Mobile phones getting lighter and MS wants us to heave a Xbox to our ears?
Something wrong with this Steve B.
When his medicine runs out, he pumps out these memo's. Sweating, because he has got to hurry, he hears the nurse coming already.
Then the nurse comes in with his medicine and she's sees it's too late again.
Oh and fine folks at El Reg: Happy NY and try to make an icon with Steve B.
Gates is sooo 2009!!
