It's paving the way for the new Mango-based SDK for developers coming later this month of May.

The problem with this Ovi 3D map is performance (it seems to be very slow).. however, Silverlight's deep zoom can easily fix that :) Fri, 22 Apr 2011 03:34:15 +0000 http://wmpoweruser.com/nokias-ovi-maps-are-pretty-amazing/#IDComment144994268 http://wmpoweruser.com/does-rumoured-16-megapixel-wp7-handset-have-a-front-facing-camera/#IDComment143703694 Is this the HTC phone Joe Belfiore showed us demoing the gyroscope augmented reality app?

Perhaps a Dell Venue Pro (with Mango and all the bug fixed, of course) for Mr. Obama?

Stay tuned, I will probably make a video demoing the ability to autostitch and take the pics inside of the app when the new SDK and mango dev image is releaesd for the device. Hopefully Brandon Watson keeps his word :) Thu, 14 Apr 2011 10:22:20 +0000 http://wmpoweruser.com/a-new-generation-of-windows-phones-with-gyroscopes-coming/#IDComment142768823 http://wmpoweruser.com/eldar-nokia-wp7-prototypes-are-out-w7-and-w8-coming-this-year-12-devices-planned-for-2012/#IDComment142734372 Combined with today's announcements at MIX, a very bright future holds for Windows Phone. I am almost blinded by the brightness.

I plan to keep improving and improving on the current app. Right now one of the biggest issue is the inability to take pictures from within the app, and inability to autostitch the pictures. Well after the new SDK is released, these won't be a problem anymore :) I can use the gyroscope (or compass + accelerometer) combined with the camera access to take pictures and stitch them in real time. I also want to make an augmented reality app. I have a pretty good idea already Thu, 14 Apr 2011 04:22:55 +0000 http://wmpoweruser.com/a-new-generation-of-windows-phones-with-gyroscopes-coming/#IDComment142696644 http://wmpoweruser.com/a-new-generation-of-windows-phones-with-gyroscopes-coming/#IDComment142619766 YESSS YESSS YESSS!!! My app will be one of the first to take advantage of the gyroscope. I've been one of the many devs nagging for this feature since last year.. I am over filled with joy right now.

It will make many devs happy. Otherwise with no new SDK update at MIX... there's really nothing much for them to talk about...

You see, strangely after the NoDo update, my phone always reported a full battery! Naturally I did not charge the battery for a few days, and then it completely ran dry. Now I have completely recharged it.

My app (Ztitch) might not be making a lot, but at least the income is stable and not subject to huge variations as shown above. One thing is for sure: Windows Phone users are not thrifty like the Android users... many of them (myself included) are willing to spend money on quality apps. Furthermore, you can only make ad revenues from users within the US, but the paid marketplace is available in many countries.

My Nokia N97 could barely load a web page. Results for next month (April) will be interesting because of the new CDMA Windows Phone being released, and also the slew of new tablets (iPad 2, RIM PlayBook, and the countless Android tablets) Fri, 1 Apr 2011 23:18:04 +0000 http://wmpoweruser.com/statcounter-shows-ios-losing-market-share-only-android-and-windows-phone-7-growing/#IDComment139221126 http://wmpoweruser.com/12000-apps-in-marketplace-3000-added-in-march/#IDComment138594304 haha John!
