There’s Nothing Quite Like an iPhone

by AltHippo @ 12:03 pm. Filed under Uncategorized

A couple of days ago I bought an HTC Touch Diamond. I also have an iPod Touch, and figured that by this point the Windows Mobile apps would look similar to what’s available on the iTunes App Store. As it turns out: not so much.

One of the weird things is that few of the Windows Mobile apps use the accelerometer built in to the HTC. Here, I started to wonder if maybe this was a recent addition, and Science and Technology had not yet caught up with it.

As it turns out, HTC had released Windows Mobile phones using the accelerometer before Apple released the iPhone. Interesting, I guess it takes a company like Microsoft to keep a potentially interesting product mediocre.
