These are phones. I don't use my phone as a gaming platform aside from the occasional game here and there when I have some time to waste.

WTF is up with all the general bitchy-ness of the comments this week? It's a good read, if you don't like it, go to one of the hubs that you do like and read about that. Damn.

Anyways Xbox Live will def be crucial to the success of WP7 and I'm glad that the games look amazing.

The Metro UI concept though is just not my style. Which sucks. I just plain hate it now.

@icepop77 No, no this will not get the axe. It is a major feature of the WP7 environment.

It's so awesome, it only runs one app at a time.
It's so awesome, it doesn't support flash, despite both parties wanting it.
It's so awesome, it doesn't support clipboard action in its "office".
It's so awesome, it's game lineup is as impressive as a napping squirrel.

So far, it is. No other OS has it. On the other hand, there are tons of other features lacking on WP7 and available for Android, webOS, and iPhone, who only need to integrate a "Live-like" service to catch up in this particular domain.

So far, I find Android to be winning the "OS features" fight, and nobody can deny this fact.]]>Aug 17th 2010 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/hey-go-check-out-our-xbox-live-on-windows-phone-7-gaming-previe/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/17/hey-go-check-out-our-xbox-live-on-windows-phone-7-gaming-previe/
Even if everyone else made an Xbox Live-like service none of them have the infrastructure or branding like Microsoft does to make it comparable. Microsoft has a huge advantage by already having their own successful (as far as popularity) gaming division. They have relationships with all the big developers, they have the Xbox Live service already running, just about everyone already has an account. No one else the type of integration that Microsoft has.]]>Aug 17th 2010 2:57PM
