    On the Microsoft and Nokia mobile deal

    Few things have excited me as much over the last few months than the work that Microsoft has done to create Windows Phone 7 (WP7), and the news that came in last Friday announcing that they have teamed up with Nokia (or Nokia has teamed up with them, or both!) brings me yet more joy. My enthusiasm comes from two points of view: The excellent user interface. Abandoned (finally!) is the attempt to make the phone interface look like a Windows desktop. The WP7 interface is differ

    Microsoft Tag – Redmond’s colourful take on 2D barcoding

    I’ve been alerted to Redmond’s colourful take on 2D barcoding, Microsoft Tag.

    Living with Google Nexus One / Going to Microsoft MIX?

    I’m taking a long weekend out to visit Dublin (it’s my (Irish-born) hubby’s 50th birthday, bless him!) and, as I already have an O2-Ireland SIM card, I’m going to ‘live’ my communications using the Google Nexus One, and I’ll see how I get on with it being my only internet connection whilst I’m away, just as I did with the iPhone when in Berlin a few weeks ago. I’ll let you know how I get on next week. Are you going to Microsoft MIX conference in Las Vegas next month? I’m look
