i dont see how this is a stab in the back to their partners? is this any different than touchflo? they dont allow that to go to other manufacturers. samsung has their own thing also. the xperia have their thing. so i dont get that logic
This may be a clever move by microsoft, consequently offering a stable (over the course of a few years) hardware platform to developers, like apple did with its iphone.
Game developpers particularly need that same constant hardware platform to develop big games that require long development and finances. In the end, i suspect games will be offered on both iphone and winmo as they are on ps3 and xbox360 and wii.
One problem would be apple is offering a new platform with iphone 3gs that breaks the constant / compatibility with the iphone and is rumored to prepare another hardware for next year... This lack of clarity may hinder the development of games on the iphone 3gs. Not to mention that the iphone 3gs seems to be running freaking hot.
I would love to see google continue to propose android for free for low end hardware, and impose minimum hardware specs for high end android phones, so to entice phone manufacturers and game developpers...
My specs would be : + tegra apx2600 + 384mb RAM + 640x360 qhd + retractable pad like psp :)
