Windows Marketplace for Mobile to accept apps on July 27

Max — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:30:00 GMT

Mark your calendars, everyone: July 27, 2009. That’s when the Windows Marketplace for Mobile will begin accepting applications created by… well, YOU!

In case you haven’t heard, the Windows Marketplace for Mobile will come with every Windows Mobile 6.5 phone. So if you’re a Windows Mobile developer, you can more easily get your apps to all those customers. And before the year is done, all users with Windows Mobile 6.0 and 6.1 phones will get the Marketplace, too. That’s a lot of potential Windows phones for your apps.

In the video, Todd Brix from the Windows Mobile team covers the news and shows you a quick Marketplace demo. You can find more details over on the Windows Mobile blog.

Roz Ho: Reflections On Leadership and Believing in Yourself

Charles — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 22:59:00 GMT

Sometimes Charles and Ritzy get really lucky in meeting people whose energy is truly contagious, as in the case of Corporate Vice President, Premium Mobile Experiences, Roz Ho. In another edition of WM_IN, Roz tells us about her diverse experiences; from growing up in Hong Kong, moving to California, landing at Microsoft and how she almost left Microsoft to become an archeologist! Roz leads a team working on consumer-focused projects in mobile communications, and her team comes first; she literally shows us what keeps her coming back to the job every day, even after 17 years. And she knows a little something about the importance and delicacy of human relationships, as she used to be the GM of the Macintosh Business Unit, where her team was responsible for the development and marketing of Mac Office. Before joining Microsoft in 1991, Ho was a software engineer for HP and she also spent two years working as a software engineer developing a number of financial systems at Bank of America, including the first large-scale ATM system in the world.

- CWR Mobility. Mobility is something I spend a lot of time thinking about and the Windows Mobile solution that CWR has put together is state-of-the-art when it comes to line-of-business apps on the go. What really got my attention was the inventive way they managed to embed it into the Dynamics CRM Online infrastructure. From an end-user perspective all you have to do is sign up for their service and they take care of all the hard work by reaching out across the cloud and installing and configuring the app. Nice!

TechNet Radio: Unified Communications and Windows Mobile

erickingfrog — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 17:26:04 GMT

Michael Murphy and Chip Vollers discuss the benefits of Unified Communications and Windows Mobile.

Communications today are increasingly complex, with a vast array of ways to communicate and an equally broad range of different devices and applications. While supposedly making our lives easier, all of these options actually make our lives more complicated. We are simply overwhelmed by the options to stay in touch with each other. This is communication chaos.

Microsoft believes the answer lies in software. Software that is people-ready, helping people to work more effectively together in real time. Unified Communications solutions provide presence awareness throughout Office System and LOB applications, enable teams to work together from distributed offices and while on the go, and reduce down time and hasten business decisions. Microsoft’s UC solutions deliver identity-based, rich presence-enabled communications on the desktop and extend those capabilities to Windows Mobile devices with Office Communicator 2007. Communicator Mobile 2007 is designed to easily work with existing Office Communications Server 2007 and Exchange Server 2007 deployments, minimizing cost, management, and additional infrastructure investments.

Windows Mobile 6.0 Things and Stuff

Rory — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 22:53:59 GMT

The Mobile and Embedded Devices Conference (MEDC) is taking place in Vegas next week, and I thought I'd post a little fun here to get things going.

Mel Sampat stopped by to demo some fancy-schmancy stuff in Windows Mobile 6.0. There's more going on now for both devs and users.

One of the nicer things about 6.0, at least from a dev standpoint, is that the .NET CF 2.0 and SQL Server Compact Edition 2.0 both ship in ROM, meaning you can deploy your nice little apps without having to deploy the runtime as well. That made me happy :)

In the video, you'll get to see some of what's new with Pocket Outlook, an experimental managed implementation of voice recognition APIs, and more.

It's because of stuff like that (managed voice recognition APIs?)
