Microsoft were beaten to the punch by Handmark for the release of an App store for the Windows Mobile platform according to a recent CNet article. Ever since the launch of the iTunes App Store it has been the envy of every other mobile handset manufacturer and mobile software developers. While the idea of a [...]
Microsoft is set to launch a new free streaming video service through MSN in the UK. It sounds like it will be a great service with a wide range of programming from all the major TV Networks including Channel 4 and the BBC. The ad supported service is about to under go a 6 month [...]
