It does not say that the default search engine cannot be set or changed by the developer of the application or the user.

This is not very clear from your post.

Yea I wish they just secretly gave one of the OEMs permission to totally rip off the Zune and then acted surprised when it happened.]]>Apr 20th 2010 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leaked-slides-show-windows-phone-7s-update-strategy-windows-li/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leaked-slides-show-windows-phone-7s-update-strategy-windows-li/
Disagree. I have a Zune HD and it's amazing, but really when I look at the different devices announced for WP7, I rather like the choice they've made. I'd much rather have choice than a single Zune phone. For instance, as of now I'd much rather have Dell's portrait Lightning than LG's landscape slider.]]>Apr 23rd 2010 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leaked-slides-show-windows-phone-7s-update-strategy-windows-li/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leaked-slides-show-windows-phone-7s-update-strategy-windows-li/Apr 20th 2010 7:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leaked-slides-show-windows-phone-7s-update-strategy-windows-li/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leaked-slides-show-windows-phone-7s-update-strategy-windows-li/Apr 20th 2010 7:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leaked-slides-show-windows-phone-7s-update-strategy-windows-li/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leaked-slides-show-windows-phone-7s-update-strategy-windows-li/Apr 20th 2010 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leaked-slides-show-windows-phone-7s-update-strategy-windows-li/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leaked-slides-show-windows-phone-7s-update-strategy-windows-li/

MS seems to have decided that the iPhone closed and locked-down model is the way to go, sort of a can't beat 'em then join 'em move. But if I wanted someone else tightly controlling what I do with my devices I'd have an iPhone already.

I've been putting off moving to Android because I have been happy with WinMo. There are tons of useful available programs for it, and it's so well-understood and easily rootable as to be for all intents and purposes an open system. But it appears that WinMo7 will signal the end of easy mods, open- and user-developed apps, custom ROMs, etc. -- all the things that make WinMo 6 appealing to people like me.

Android, here I come, I guess.]]>Apr 20th 2010 8:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leaked-slides-show-windows-phone-7s-update-strategy-windows-li/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leaked-slides-show-windows-phone-7s-update-strategy-windows-li/Apr 24th 2010 6:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leaked-slides-show-windows-phone-7s-update-strategy-windows-li/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leaked-slides-show-windows-phone-7s-update-strategy-windows-li/Apr 20th 2010 8:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leaked-slides-show-windows-phone-7s-update-strategy-windows-li/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leaked-slides-show-windows-phone-7s-update-strategy-windows-li/Apr 20th 2010 8:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leaked-slides-show-windows-phone-7s-update-strategy-windows-li/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leaked-slides-show-windows-phone-7s-update-strategy-windows-li/

I'm not a fan. WP7 in general appears to have become too consumer and socially focussed in my opinion.

The features which kept me loyal to WM for over seven years (copy+paste, multitasking, sideloading apps, exchange support, UI customisation) have all been abandoned or castrated in favour of tapping into the consumer demographic.

As soon as I saw the Zune interface I instinctivly knew this was going to be a consumer OS and things went downhill from there as more details were revealed. Making my decision to switch to (jailbroken) iPhone OS all the more easier.

Imagine my surprise when Apple unveiled iPhone OS 4. Multitasking, better exchange support, unified mail, and (more) customisation. I jokingly said to a friend "iPhone OS has become what WM was, only better!"

In a sense it's true. Apple seems to have much more success at combining consumer and enterprise features, whereas Microsoft has gone from one end of the spectrum to the other.]]>Apr 20th 2010 11:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leaked-slides-show-windows-phone-7s-update-strategy-windows-li/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leaked-slides-show-windows-phone-7s-update-strategy-windows-li/Apr 20th 2010 8:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leaked-slides-show-windows-phone-7s-update-strategy-windows-li/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/leaked-slides-show-windows-phone-7s-update-strategy-windows-li/"Use an e-mail address you already have

At this point, I'm strongly considering a two-device strategy: a Zune HD for my media, and an Android device for my phone/apps.
