Microsoft has completely missed the mobile market

Say what you like, but the world doesn’t revolve around Windows Phone 7 or Microsoft. Quite frankly the more I watch the mobile market, the more Microsoft doesn’t play into it. From where I sit, Google Docs, Dropbox and Evernote are the apps everyone wants to integrate with. I don’t see a single Microsoft app in the mix. If you write a note taking app it needs to integrate with one of these or no one will take you seriously. I think it’s getting to the point where you can’t be online without having Dropbox or Google Docs support, even on your desktop. I think both of those apps have become ubiquitous. Over the recent months, I’ve seen more and more products integrating with Evernote. Personally I don’t think Evernote is as good as OneNote, but I have to say, OneNote may be on the way out at this rate. You can’t keep letting people walk away like this. Notebooks, […]

Kin and Windows 7 Phone … You’ve doomed us all

We can armchair quarterback the Kin disaster all we want, but it seems there is some real fallout going on over this little blunder. There are more comparisons to the Vista blunder than you can count. And it seems some of the good folks who were at the helm during the long delays and then features cuts of Vista and the Kin are at the wheel for Windows Phone 7. I’m not really sure that’s instilling confidence. As one person from Microsoft puts it: http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-employees-embarrassed-over-kin-failure the same person who headed up the Kin project is now leading WP7, which is leaving employees on uneasy ground after the Kin launch. But no matter how you look at it, MS is struggling to find their way in the mobile market and many people think Windows Phone 7 might already be doomed. And in some ways I agree. Microsoft is taking way too long to get their product out the door. Regardless of […]

A window closes on Microsoft

This is a pretty interesting article with several points to consider. Now that Courier has disappeared and HP has seemingly broken ties with MS in favor of building their own OS, does Microsoft and Windows have a place in the tablet market? Right now it seems like people are split 50/50 on that one. A lot of people feel that Windows Phone 7 is just the beginning and will evolve into a slim and well optimized tablet/device platform. Others say that Windows is just too damn big and bloated and has no business being shoehorned into devices. But the bigger question is, does MS still have a place in the tablet market even though they have no tablet? As I stated before, I think Microsoft just got shut out of the tablet space. They have no offering of their own and even if speculation is true and MS is still cooking something, they better get it to market quickly since […]
