Steve Ballmer has been making regular appearances at D conferences. This time at D8, he was accompanied by Ray Ozzie, the cloud computing visionary at Microsoft.

Windows Phone 7 Series theme for the iPhone is in the works

<Category: Microsoft, Windows Phone 7> Only 1 comment

I always used to search for a Windows Mobile 6.5 theme for my iPod Touch, but never found one. I don’t know why but I guess designers don’t like that user interface so bringing it to the iPhone never appealed them. It’s the other way around with Windows Phone 7 Series though – months before its release, themes are being made for all other platforms such as Windows 7 and now the iPhone. Woocash from DeviantART is working on the WP7S theme for the iPhone titled Windows 7 Mobile Theme.
