What will be the focus of windows mobile 7, and how are they striving to make it finger friendly and different from the current windows mobile 6.5. What new things do they plan to bring to the table with it? As most of us are pushing for a complete re-design.

Also, why can't the zune HD just have a phone,? Iphone and itouch share the same OS, why can't the same be done with MS for the phones/players?]]>Oct 13th 2009 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/the-engadget-show-with-steve-ballmer-tapes-thursday-october-22n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/the-engadget-show-with-steve-ballmer-tapes-thursday-october-22n/Oct 13th 2009 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/the-engadget-show-with-steve-ballmer-tapes-thursday-october-22n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/the-engadget-show-with-steve-ballmer-tapes-thursday-october-22n/Oct 13th 2009 4:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/the-engadget-show-with-steve-ballmer-tapes-thursday-october-22n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/the-engadget-show-with-steve-ballmer-tapes-thursday-october-22n/Oct 13th 2009 4:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/the-engadget-show-with-steve-ballmer-tapes-thursday-october-22n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/the-engadget-show-with-steve-ballmer-tapes-thursday-october-22n/
ASK ABOUT ZUNE PASS ON WINDOWS MOBILE DEVICES!!!!

ASK ABOUT GAMING ON WINDOWS MOBILE DEVICES

Ask if we've heard the end of the Zune story. The Zune HD launch was so high profile, but the buzz quickly died down when people realized that the browser can't hold a candle to Apple's handheld browser, that there's no 3rd party developer support, that there's no berth of an Xbox Mobile gaming platform.... I could go on, and on.

Ask what we can expect with Windows 7, and whether current 6.5 devices (HD 2 namely) will be upgradeable.]]>Oct 13th 2009 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/the-engadget-show-with-steve-ballmer-tapes-thursday-october-22n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/the-engadget-show-with-steve-ballmer-tapes-thursday-october-22n/
1. As Microsoft is encircled by innovative competitors on all sides, how do you stop the paranoia from setting in?
2. Is it possible to defend the desktop centric Windows/Office cash cows, when the future is mobile devices and cloud services?
2. Do you miss the good old embrace-extend-extinguish days when M$ could dictate standards and lock-out competition?
4. If the future really means open standards like html 5, does MS have the right culture and talent to compete on a more level playing field?
5. What really happened at pink/danger/sidekick?
6. Did Bill Gates see the writing on the wall and leave before the terminal decline of M$?

1) Are you really worried by a competing OS that still only sells on less than 4% of computers sold each quarter - half of which also then filled your coffers because their owners bought a copy of Windows?
2) Similarly, does the fact that the 'world's free operating system' is so incredibly popular that people would rather pirate Windows than use it?
3) Do you giggle like a little schoolgirl when people tell you how much money your competitor makes because you know the only people really getting it in the ass are those same people who are paying a near 40% mark up for that competitor's products whilst their market share remains a blip on the horizon and, hell, you still sell Windows and Office to them on top of all that?
4) WinMo. Seriously. What were you thinking?
5) And Bing. I mean why not just make Yahoo your bitch?

I think that covers it.]]>Oct 20th 2009 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/the-engadget-show-with-steve-ballmer-tapes-thursday-october-22n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/the-engadget-show-with-steve-ballmer-tapes-thursday-october-22n/Gaming on Windows Mobile device & Xbox Live is in the works right now : http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2009/10/20/windows-mobile-to-become-a-gaming-platform/]]>Oct 20th 2009 8:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/the-engadget-show-with-steve-ballmer-tapes-thursday-october-22n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/the-engadget-show-with-steve-ballmer-tapes-thursday-october-22n/
