CD Design’s iPhone Game Pad Hits Prototype Stage [iPhone Gamers Will Get A Chance To Control Games With Buttons on the iPhone Game Pad]

I have been following the development of Windows Phone 7 for some time now, and noticed a very worrying development recently. It seems that even the most passionate supporters of the upcoming phone OS, are starting to prepare us for the worst! Windows Phone 7: Not the game-changer we were promised? Just a few weeks ago, the tech news jungle was buzzing with reports of a new “game-changing” phone OS. Then, suddenly, reports started to come out slamming it! Maybe the strongest post came from InfoWorld, with Windows Phone 7 – Don’t bother with this disaster . This is to be expected, right? Even the original iPhone drew some negatives for lack of certain features, like cut-n-paste (remember?). But now it seems that even the most vocal supporters of Microsoft, like respected Microsoft blogger Paul Thurrott , have started preparing us for a far less game-changing OS than we were originally promised. When people like Thurrott start preparing us to be underwhelmed, I take notice. He is extremely well connected with Microsoft and is currently writing “Windows Phone Secrets” having been given a device by Microsoft for the book
