Microsoft give Windows Phone 7 devices to their 89,000 employees


Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer enthusiastically announced Thursday that all attendees of Microsoft’s Professional Developers Conference will receive a new Windows Phone 7 device. But that’s only about 1,000 phones Microsoft is giving away. Much more impressive, and expensive, is the fact that Microsoft apparently plans to issue a new WP7 phone to all 89,000 of its employees, and would presumably be paying for those costly monthly data plans too. (PDC-attending developers who receive a free phone have to arrange for their own data plans). Google world’s most attractive employer; Microsoft drops to #7

Apps : Nokia N8 Swype vs T9 Video Demo


Ok so thanks to thenokiablog - a version of swype compatible with symbian^3 / N8 seems to be in the nokia OVI store.

To install you have to visit http://store.ovi.mobi/content/58438 on your N8 browser to bypass the ovi store filters.

But it seems to work, theres one issue though - it only has swype in landscape mode - which makes me think its not ready for loading on unintended devices.

But it works well and smoothly. as fast as the Nexus One version i use daily. interestingly T9 seems to be a very quick alternative. but and its a big but, its only fine as long as it gets your words first time, otherwise correcting is a royal tap tap tap x10 pain.

So roll on full portrait swype for the N8. Then the major issue with the N8 - text entry - will be solved.

Indian Government Unhappy With RIM’s Solution For Spying On Blackberry Users

The ongoing struggle between RIM and data-hungry government surveillance programs is starting to look more like a soap opera than a political drama. After RIM caved to India and began offering a method to intercept Blackberry Messenger messages within that country, the government has decided that the tools they’ve been given aren't good enough.

“We have manual access to the messenger service. We want automated access and we are hopeful of getting it from January 1,” said G.K. PILLAI, India’s home secretary. Apparently, and anyone who reads this site could have told Mr. Pillai this (and RIM did so), the communications they have been enabled to intercept are encrypted with keys RIM cannot provide, because it does not have them. They are attempting to squeeze blood from a stone.
