Health Pack, a leading Canadian based mobile game development company focusing on iOS, Android and Windows Phone devices has recently integrated our Windows Phone SDK. The results have been fantastic. Read more about Health Pack below…
By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) Seems like just yesterday we were talking about Microsoft ads and how confused the company is… Well, someone over there at Redmond read the post and said “Not so fast, we have something better up our sleeves and no dude jumping from space is going to steal our thunder this time.” Microsoft released its first ad…
By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) As over 8 million people around the world tuned into YouTube to watch Felix Baumgartner perform the longest and most-talked about commercial in recent history, Microsoft quietly released its first Windows 8 ad. While in hindsight, competing with a guy jumping from space was probably not the best idea, I guess Microsoft had no way to know about…
By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) If you have been following the mobile tech space this week, you probably noticed that there is not much going on. No, really. Since Google IO and WWDC, things are pretty quiet. And when there is quiet in the tech space, you know what that means. Rumors! Well, besides the obvious iPhone 5 rumors, the latest…
By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) If you read the tech press covering the mobile space, you will certainly hear lots of talk about iOS and Android, and there is even talk about Windows Phone becoming the third mobile ecosystem.

By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) Here are inneractive, we are big fans of Windows Phone. Just thought I would get that out-of-the-way. The UI is stunning, the Lumia devices are… Well, you know how impressive the Lumia devices are.

By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) There are 600k mobile apps in Apple’s App Store. There are similar numbers in Google Play. 80k in the Windows Marketplace. And then there are the smaller app stores, which often also have tens of thousands of mobile apps. Those numbers are growing by the thousands on a daily basis and that is great. While consumers…
By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) Competing in the mobile game against companies like Apple and Google is not a simple task and I would not want to be in RIM or Nokia/Microsoft’s position right now. Over the last 24 hours, both RIM and “Nokiasoft” made it very clear that they are in it for the long haul. RIM went all in…
