Over the last few months there has been quite a bit of news regarding Windows Mobile that has focused on 'pumping-up' the platform to compete with everything else out there (including the iphone)

for instance

• Windows Mobile renamed to Windows Phone
• Microsoft Releases Windows Mobile Marketplace to compete with App Store
• Mobile Market place launches with 600 apps
• Windows Mobile 6.5 and how to create widget for WM 6.5
• and this latest white paper - How to port an iphone application to Windows Mobile

But what has me stumped is the cost of breaking into development, the IDE Visual Studio Standard Edition still requires some hard thinking before investing for the hobby developer (which as you would notice accounts for quite a percentage of the Apps on the Apps Store)

Which brings me to the following question "What has Microsoft to lose by making a Visual Studio Express: Mobile Development Edition?". If they do make an express version for Windows Mobile development, wont there be a ROI if the apps developed make their way to the MarketPlace.

Also in my opinion the Windows OS got its leg up against all of its competitor because of the number of applications available for it.

If you are a Windows Mobile User, then this site should be one of your frequent haunts.

Its not? well take a look-see anyway it has a whole bunch of reviews and news.

Bing has launched, and I binged a couple of searches and have to say Bing is nice. But I was doing some random searches without considering the relevancy of the search results. Does anyone know any cool searches that demonstrate the features of this search engine. I mean what makes this special?

Whats the past tense of bing anyway's is it binged or bung or bong?
