    To be fair, app browsing isn't all that great on *any* phone. In fact, I have yet to use a single mobile device (including the iPhone, thankyouverymuch) that I actually prefer browsing on over a full compy. Fullsite app browsing = generally awesome in my book.

    In reply to Windows Mobile Marketplace Adds Non-Mobile App Store
    "Well, the new online portal seems like a solid idea, albeit one that implicitly acknowledges that app browsing is not that great on a WinMo 6.5 phone. You can access the portal from any browser, taking advantage of your computer's larger screen and faster loading to find apps that much quicker."

    I dunno about that - I wouldn't be so quick to say that it acknowledges that so much as it comes as a logical step. I mean... look at the iPhone App Store. I personally hardly ever use the app store from the phone, unless it's to grab some free app that I need to use for whatever reason that has come up. Based on my experience, and that of the people I know, I'd say that the App Store within iTunes is more of the main one, with the mobile app store browser being more of an added convenience. So I'd say that Microsoft has their head on straight here - It's just that they had the mobile marketplace available first as a catalog available on its mobile devices, and now they're completing and solidifying the idea through a desktop version.

    edit: PS - I miss the <blockquote> tags... they made quotes so much more intuitive and easier to read and comprehend in context at first glance.

    @brobot: When you criticize Gizmodo you have to take into account that this is an Apple lover's site. They are lastly tending to ditch non Apple stuff specially when it comes to mobile devices. I own an iPodtouch an I have to say it's a nightmare if I want to find a non top 25 or featured App. Its the way it is, we are talking about a small screen device, same goes for windows mobile. But the author is turning a good service for windows mobile customers into yet an other reason to ditch the windows mobile platform. #windowsmobilemarketplace

    @HelloYouAll: errrrmmm... I don't know where you got the idea that I was criticizing gizmodo from my comment... Especially since you basically just re-stated the entire point of my comment, except with an anti-giz spin on it by talking about apple bias before saying "the author is turning a good service for windows mobile customers into yet an other reason to ditch the windows mobile platform."

    To every person who ever previously/currently/henceforth whines about gizmodo's apple bias, I, Bepoptimus Prime, hereby officially declare #Shenanigans. - All the whining is 100x more annoying than any bias in the first place. sheesh. cry about it #windowsmobilemarketplace

    If you like the addition to Bing check out Clicker (was part of the TC50). It's a pretty bad ass service to find what you're looking for when it comes to tv shows and what not. I think it's still closed beta, but they kick out the invites pretty quick when you sign up. #gizmodoremainders

    mDP is still pretty pointless. HDMI is rapidly moving to replace DVI and has a similar footprint to mDP. The way I see it is soon enough HDMI will be the USB of the visual in/out world. #gizmodoremainders

    @Odin: Have you seen a Mini DisplayPort? it is way smaller than HDMI, but i will give you that HDMI in the long run will beat mDP.

    I also think HDMI would have been a sweet addition to the MacBook Pro, too bad i have to buy an adapter to go to HDMI... )-:

    I'm not saying your wrong on HDMI being better, just the foot prints are way different. #gizmodoremainders

    Biggest news to me here: the iPhone only has a 2.5% national marketshare? Which nation is that? By my incredibly rough calculations, 2.5% of the U.S. population would be about 7.5 million people. I was almost certain there were more iPhone users than that.

    Then again, I live in geek land, where dumbphones don't exist, if you're running anything less than Win7/Snow Leopard, you're behind the times, and location-aware services are the norm. Also, apparently CDs are dead? #gizmodoremainders

    In reply to Ballmer on the Smartphone Race: "It Doesn't Matter What the Critics Say"
    Interesting theory about the blurring line between critics and customers, Wilson. But is it right?

    If the Nokia's smartphones are generally dismissed by critics yet still capture a plurality of the marketshare, that kind of suggests your theory is wrong.

    Stepping back from cold reality, I think there will always be a distinction between the critic (professional or otherwise) and the rest of the customer base. We go to critics and reviewers for many things because there is too much choice in this world and not enough time. The Internet doesn't change this. And if people unerringly followed the advice of critics, Michael Bay would be out of a job. #steveballmer
