Since its launch in October 2010, Windows Phone 7 has been a popular topic of coverage on many technology sites, and is now one of Microsoft’s main focuses alongside Xbox, Kinnect and Microsoft Office.

While the technology press might be happy with devices – and in particular the platform – the most popular phones remain Apple iPhones, Androids and BlackBerry handsets.

So what single reason is there to switch to Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7? Why would a new or seasoned mobile user want to decide to buy that particular phone when others with far more users and apps a...]]> http://xtremetechandgaming.com/news/10_reasons_to_buy_windows_phone_7/2011-03-21-89 Technology News GeForce http://xtremetechandgaming.com/news/2011-03-21-89 Sun, 20 Mar 2011 23:09:12 GMT

The more details that are released about this game, the more impressive it looks. New details have popped up on the Internet on what we can further look forward to from this awesome game.

In Skyrim there will be new magic in the game called Dragon Shouts. Whenever you kill a dragon in the game you will get its soul which allows you read ruins that you find scattered across the land. Once you decipher the ruins, you will have access to the Dragon Shouts that are different to usual magic spells. These Dragon Shouts will allow you to do magic like teleport or do a force push. In the original trailer we saw glimpses of these ruins like this image below. Deciphering this code could also be some sort of puzzle too.

Also making a return to Skyrim will be Enchantment, this was an ability you could achieve in Oblivion once you were granted access to the Ma...]]> http://xtremetechandgaming.com/news/the_elder_scrolls_5_skyrim_new_details/2011-03-21-87 Gaming News GeForce http://xtremetechandgaming.com/news/2011-03-21-87 Sun, 20 Mar 2011 22:41:17 GMT

Okay, so again, for the second time today, I’m kind of branching out of our usual domain of covering strictly indie games to bring you more of a converstation on the methods of delivering indie games, if that makes any sense.

Last Friday, at the very start of IndieCade, I was able to sneak into a panel on Intel’s new "AppUp” application store for netbook computers. The premise is fairly simple, Intel has released an app store — just like on Android, and iOS — for people who own netbooks. The idea is that since these computers are so small and are typically owned by people who don’t need a full sized computer they instead act more like a tablet or smart phone for many people hence the application store market should work.

The reason why I bring this up today is that, like all great app stores, Ap...]]> http://xtremetechandgaming.com/news/develop_games_or_own_a_netbook_might_want_to_check_out_appup/2010-10-13-86 Technology News GeForce http://xtremetechandgaming.com/news/2010-10-13-86 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 23:45:01 GMT

Broadcast content streaming site Hulu may be preparing for an IPO to raise as much as $300 million with Morgan Stanley as the primary underwriter, according to a report from Reuters.

The additional funding could be used to pay for new content sources like deals with broadcast networks. Google and Apple are entering the living room with Google TV and the revamped Apple TV. They’ll both features movie and show rentals. And Netflix is already a heavy-hitter in the streaming video marketplace. So it’s becoming a bit of a crowded market for streaming premium content.

Hulu is a free, ad-supported way for viewers to watch content from several of the largest broadcast networks online. It already streams content from broadcast networks Fox, NBC and ABC, and CBS

Microsoft has said that it views its upcoming Windows Phone 7 "as a games console" and plans to support the device with a robust launch line-up of titles.  "We're going to have a launch portfolio of games that's bigger than the one we had with the Xbox 360," Kevin Unangst, senior global director for Games for Windows, told TechRadar.
