Frastrated

Zune, or Windows Phone make me mad.

There is no simple way to drag and drop the photos in the phone to a PC, and the phone cannot act like an USB drive, I mean there may be some way to make it but definitely not easy and direct. I searched online and found Library/Pictures/<Device Name> is the place …

I also tried to enable Internet Sharing so that I can upload those photos to Windows Live site and then access from there, but I failed because Internet sharing cannot be enabled without mobile data connection enabled. What H***? I have wifi access, why bother to ask me turn on expensive mobile data network?

Actually I know it may not be all Windows Phone’s problem. I’m not in good mode in the past several days as frastrated by all sort of technical support kind of tasks, wish things can be better in the coming days.

Moving to Windows Phone now

The AWS App on iOS is pretty much done, at least I have made readonly part of S3 and EC2 works, and I don’t think write operations (create, update, delete, etc) are feasible to mobile phones.

I’m moving to Windows Phone now, trying to build up similar App in term of functionality – I’m not sure if I can build things with similar UI since different app store may have totally different tastes/rules on UI standard, better follow what they asked for.

I wish Windows Phone development will be easier thinking of I’ve done .Net/Visual Studio development before, let’s see – I give myself 2 weeks, and will spend no more than an hour per day.

Actually I tried both Android and Windows Phone the other day, trying to get basic idea of development. Obviously I don’t like Android, either because of I’m not a Java fan, or because of ugly interface of Eclipse – it may only be that ugly on OSX though, but I don’t have space (read: memory) to launch such a fat IDE in my Windows VM so leave it to the last.

All new electronics from the Christmas

Let’s see what we have now from the Christmas – a Bambook, a Kindle, a Kindle Fire, a Samsung phone (running Windows Phone), pretty much all popular mobile devices are in my house now (yes, iPhone and iPad came from last year).

I can say all mobile OS’s are good enough, though iOS is having better operational features, Aneroid is rich of free Apps, and Windows Phone is just … cute? Sorry I don’t know what can exactly describe it, but its look and feel is nice.

I think I need to spend some time follow Windows Phone while playing with iOS and Android, will be busy.
