Reading List: Google Thrives; WM7 Coming (Slowly); FCC Talks P2P (Again)
- Um, about Google and its ad/recession problems? Never mind (NYTimes: Google Defies the Economy and Shows Profit Surge). Truth is, whole scenario (Company stock slides, bad news appears, guidance goes south, actual earnings beat lowered guidance, stock pops back up, is right out of the big tech company (Microsoft) earnings management playbook).
- Apparently Microsoft is showing Windows Mobile 7 — designed to catch up to the Apple iPhone — to at a Windows MVP developer summit this week. Blog MSMobile.com has some conjencture about the availability of WM7: “announcement in February 2009 at Mobile World Contress and sales of first devices in late summer 2009.) That’s a long way off to compete with the iPhone, though Microsoft did announce Windows Mobile 6.1 earlier this month.
