[...] the applications are somehow universal across classes of devices. It’s no secret that the Windows Mobile 7 team is collaborating with the Zune team. Write-once apps that works on both Windows Mobile and Zune? Wouldn’t that be nice. [...]

This may sound a bit wrong but from reading about all this news, rumors and info on ‘xYz’ ‘Pink’ ‘ZuneHD’ ‘WinMo’ and ‘E3′ I’m just about to pee myself from all the excitement hahaha.

Sorry but it’s the truth XD

@Rusty

Merely curious, what do you like about the Blackberry that WM doesn’t do? Or perhaps how it does it…

Sounds great, but still not enough to get me to drop my Blackberry, even as a huge Microsoft fan.

I’d bet money that Unified Storage is based on Live Framework, scheduled to ship with Live Wave 4, also mentioned in the job posting. Live Framework is a key part of Ray Ozzie’s “3 screens” vision, synchronizing apps and data between all devices in a user’s mesh, with a social twist.

@bluvg yes, like WinFS. I think of Live Framework as “WinFS for the web”.

I’ll go out on a limb and speculate that Jeffrey Richter is part of the “recent influx of senior talent” on the team. Could be completely wrong, but his latest blog post is about high-performance low-level communication with Live Framework, which fits quite nicely with Windows Mobile.

At this rate, the first Zune sold outside North America will be a Windows phone. Can’t wait

Oh, and Long: I’m like how you’ve been doing many more WinMo stories lately. Keep up the great work.
