Windows Phone in Hand

Hi, all

Yesterday I received a valuable new asset for eMob Tech: a Nokia Lumia 800, powered by Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango). A first look at it, what a great design and lightweight! When you fire it up, it also looks fantastic.

The Metro interfaces developed by Microsoft is very curious (and different of anything else) at first look, but you get used really fast. There is no concept of windows (ironic, huh?). The whole system and apps seems to be positioned in a really big screen, on which you navigate through easily swiping from the left to the right and vice-versa. It remembers the navigation system present in the Playstation 3.

During the next week I will give my iPhone (don't worry, I'll be back!) some rest, so I can try Windows Phone out. Let's see how this system behaves along the week with my routine tasks (e-mail, alarms, web, social, games, etc).

Who knows a new platform will be incorporated by eMob Tech for future projects. Let's see what happens.

eMob Tech & Soundtracker

Hi, all

Yesterday, we announced via our account on Twitter (@emobtech) that eMob Tech and Soundtracker are working together. For those who do not know Sountracker, it is the first geosocial music service for smartphones and the web. There are over 10 millions songs to listen for free.

Users can tune into the music their friends are listening to, find out where they're listening, and geo-tag songs to real world locations for other people to discover.

eMob Tech has worked on the development and tests, in order to maintain (bug fixing) and evolve (new features) their mobile version for Nokia devices (S40, S60, S^3, Anna and Belle).

Soundtracker is available for many platforms, e.g., iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Nokia, Bada, etc. So, there is no excuse for not trying out Soundtracker.

For further information on this great app, check out the website www.soundtracker.fm.

We hope everybody enjoy the song.
