The end of a long f(r)iendship?

Posted on 31 March 2009 by Alexander Viken

After years, Jonathan Noble has had it. In a long letter to a dear friend and companion he had to lay out the reasons - trying to explain why it is necessary to part for both of them to grow as mobile users.

No matter how ironic written, it’s got quite a spike of truth to it. Is Windows Mobile 6.5 coming to late?  Are we as developers soooo stuck in the winform of stylus usage (kill the datagrid) ?  Are we unable see and think of new ways of developing software – mere copycats?

I hope not! I hope that with the release of 6.5 and the implementation of gestures and touch controls, we will get the toolbox we need to drive the innovation further beyond single process apps and copy/paste.
