Mar 28th 2009 4:09PM MS increased the height of the softkeys to make them more finger-friendly, and then used the extra space for something, in this case being volume and signal strength indicators. They also made the top bar narrower, and by moving some indicators downwards made it less cluttered.
There is a logic to what they are doing, even if you don't agree with it.

Tata's $2,000 Nano car to hit Indian streets in July {Engadget}
Mar 23rd 2009 6:53PM No Asuka, its far from enough. How about banning SUV's and doubling fuel taxes? How about radically increasing fuel consumption targets? Those would be real progressive moves, not some inconsequential gestures.

Mar 23rd 2009 6:13PM Hey Asuka, your argument would make sense if there was any evidence if USA moving beyond gasoline. In fact, the most tangible evidence of being serious about oil consumption would be popularizing cars just big enough to actually do its function of transporting people, rather than massive SUV's who's only function is to show off.
So again, where is your evidence for "the rest of the world moves on to better things."
Ballmer says tide has turned on Apple, "paying $500 more to get a logo on it" won't work in this economy {Engadget}
Mar 20th 2009 12:53PM For people who do not think Mac sales have dropped for 2 consecutive months because of the economy (vs PC sales rising), is it then because people don't like what Apple delivers anymore.
Its either one or the other, isn't it?
Mobile OS shootout: iPhone OS 3.0 enters the fray {Engadget}
Mar 19th 2009 1:01PM I like how they make them all look like the iPhone by having them all on their application launching screens. Other OS's actually have more useful screens as their default - Android with their widget desktop, Windows Mobile with their Today screen and Symbian with their widgetized standby screen.

Mar 19th 2009 12:53PM Sorry, this has nothing to do with your comment.
Windows Mobile does have global search, and has wide support for gestures (e.g. switching from one e-mail account to another is just a swiping gesture away).

Mar 13th 2009 3:23PM "What you are suggesting is that Windows Mobile is going to magically become compelling to customers that they'll suddenly stop buying Blackberries instead."
Where did I suggest that? I just said WM will continue to sell well, rather than fade away, as most suggest.

In Europe the Samsung Omnia is outselling the iPhone in Germany and many other countries. Your US perspective is warping your view of reality.
How about some facts for you.
iPhone in 2007 - 6 months of sales, half at $600
iPhone 2008 12 months of sales, half at $200.
So iPhone trebled sales - NO SURPRISE.
Do you even know how WM phone sales increased between 2002 and 2003?
FACTS ARE HARD lol. Go to school.
