Microsoft maintains focus, as all the large companies, in the mobile market. And now is making another important move: Creating a special division in the mobile area, the mobile gaming section.
We all know that the mobile market is the most wanted area where all large companies are working with a high intensity right now, and the games development is one of the most important divisions. Android is getting important improvements and we don’t have to say anything about Apple, browse for a few seconds the AppStore and we can find thousands of games available.
Windows Phone 7 is trying to compete in the mobile OS share, but it won’t be easy with Android and Apple (we’ve discussed this earlier with the report about smartphones), which already have control of this share globally.
The new division inside Mobile’s, is called MGS Mobile Gaming. And they are already were looking for professionals; and since they’ve already found it, we can only imagine that this area will be online ASAP. No time to waste.
Nielsen Wire created a complete report about the current smartphone share. Where we can find some discernible results like: iPhone is the most desired device, but with other not so much expected saying that Android is the OS with the most expansion.

Sending a whopping file of 1.5Gb can be annoying. Firstly you have the constraints likely imposed by your e-mail provider which disallows such large e-mails meaning you’ll have to break it up or compress it. Then of course you have the time it can take for said e-mail to be sent and may God help you if you’re sending it to multiple recipients.
We Transfer is an a great start-up service which allows you to easily send large files of up to 2Gb to anyone without using traditional e-mail. It’s really easy to use and quicker than most services for two reasons.
Firstly, you don’t have to register with the service. Secondly, you only have to fill out one quick form which you can see a sample of above. It takes less than a minute. Once you click transfer, that’s it. Your file is uploaded to their servers and can be downloaded within the following two weeks by the recipient who’ll get an e-mail notifying them of the pending file. Quick, easy and efficient.
