2 years ago, Microsoft and Nokia announced that the Symbian OS will get Silverlight support.  2 days ago, Microsoft made the Silverlight for Symbian beta with developer tools live but was made unavailable later. It is expected that now the beta will get released in the Mix Web Conference.

Well, Ballmer may not like it as was the case when a Microsoft employee last year tried taking Ballmer’s photos at a conference where he snatched the iPhone, threw it on the ground and pretended jumping on it. These scenes seem to be common at Redmond. So
Mr. Ballmer, when you cannot even convince your own employees to adopt Windows Phone then how will you court millions out there?

People said it’s just another enlarged version of iPod touch but Apple fans have proved them wrong. Google’s Nexus One sold only 20,000 devices in it’s release week and reports are that iPad has already sold 90,000 devices in just 6 hours! This is really impressive.

Guys at Engadget got an opportunity to see some of the games running on ASUS Windows Phone 7 prototype and built with XNA Game Studio 4.0. Microsoft didn’t let them take any photo or video. Although Microsoft gave them some of the screenshots of the 2 upcoming Windows Phone 7 Series Games.

iPhone SDK 3.2 Beta 4 is out now for the new iPad developers (you need to be enrolled) which fixes some bugs including the Bookmark feature in Safari in the iPad simulator but something that comes as a surprise is the deliberate removal of the Camera Tab from the Photos app that will be shipped with iPad.

Google is catching up but it’s strategy is a little different. It is targeting small businesses and enterprises instead of end users. Over 2 million businesses are now using Google Apps and now they’ve also launched Google Apps marketplace to share the wealth with third party developers.

Another day, another leak. This time it’s a direct hit on the yet-to-be-shipped iPad which has no Flash support. But HP did not hit iPad directly as there is no explicit mention of Apple or iPad but we all know what it means when HP demos Flash running on it’s slate. As it is powered by Windows 7, HP Sate has support for all Windows software including Flash.

Here’s the new HP Slate video:

There is no mention of pricing or exact feature details or release date so I guess they’re waiting to see the response of iPad before releasing their own pad.

If you cannot wait for MIX10 which kicks off from 15th March 2010 and want to catch a glimpse of developing applications for the Windows Phone 7 platform then this video will come as a teaser to you.

One of the most loved 3D fighting game and my favorite: Tekken is now coming to iPhone. FoneHome has confirmed that Tekken is at the end of development process and it will hopefully make an appearance in the App store in March 2010.

It’s not confirmed that it will be the classic version of Tekken or a scaled down version of Tekken 6. As reported by FoneHome:

Last night in the Oscars, Apple aired the first TV commercial of iPad. Steve Jobs was also there at the ceremony. This 30 seconds advertisement is very inspiring. Airing advertisements on the events like this is really valuable. Apple’s marketing strategies have proved great success in the past years.

Rumors are after all not always wrong. As expected and reported by ProgrammerFish, iPad pre-order will indeed begin from 12th March for the US consumers and the first iPad will be shipped beginning 3rd April 2010. There are some more exciting developments too.

It’s confirmed now. Charlie Kindel of Microsoft has confirmed that Windows Phone 7 has experienced a paradigm shift in terms of how developers deliver User Experience in their Windows Phone 7 apps and this is the reason we have to let go the old Windows Mobile apps since they belong to an old era.

We have all been hearing Android 2.1 leaking into Droid Eris and it’s improved performance. Now the news is that a “nearly final release” OTA version of Android 2.1 has been spotted running on Motorola Droid.

If you are a Hollywood fan and you love Oscars then this is for you. I just spotted the free Oscars App on the Apple App Store that is officially from The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. The app allows you to have a look at Oscar nominees, get insider information about movies, view trailers, make predictions and look at the predictions made by other users of the app.
