Ubergizmo’s MWC Best of Show: Windows Phone 7

Ubergizmo’s MWC Best of Show: Windows Phone 7

MWC 2010 has viewed the comeback of Microsoft into the mobile OS race – at least in terms of hype and mindshare (we’ll have to try the final product!). Just recently, Windows Mobile was considered by many as “lost” or “dead”, but Microsoft’s demo in Barcelona was convincing and quite effective in turning the tide in the public opinion battle. The user interface (UI) looks sexy and fast, and the OS is much more “open” to non-Microsoft services than previous Windows Phone platforms.

Ubergizmo’s Best of CES

January 11, 2010

CES 2010 was a blast and here's a sample of what we think was the Best of CES. Check them out, give us your opinion, tell what what else you found was cool and worth looking at. Thanks for tuning in to our live blogging last Wednesday and thanks for following CES 2010 with us. Next month we will be at Mobile World Congress!

Parrot AR Drone

The parrot AR Drone has generated quite a buzz. Although we're not certain whether it will actually be a commercial success, but it was very refreshing to watch a refreshing product from a company that is known for its Bluetooth hands-free products. Check out the video.
