So, with the new iPhone announcement just around the corner here is a look at how it needs to measure up against the competition.. what goodies await us…   Personally I am still trying to decide if my next phone will be a Windows 8 or iPhone 5.  After 3 attempts with Android I think I am done with that experiment..

I am still having a hard time believing that Delphi XE3 Pro will not include client/server components.. and you can’t even use 3rd party?  wow.. I am still in shock..  C# looking better and better all the time..   Check it out

*** Ok, was just informed that yes this has been changed.. and there will be client/server components in Delphi XE3 Pro.  Sane minds did prevail.  🙂  Thanks Marc for the heads up!

Windows Phone 8 software…

September 10, 2012 Leave a comment

It seem a lot is changing with the Windows 8 SDK.  I myself was looking for it last week to find it not available.  With the announcement of the phone hardware it is interesting to wonder what is going on with the software.  It seem more interesting that if you are wanting to write games or any 3D application with the Windows 8 SDK you are no longer going to be able to use XMA and be required to write C++ code.   This all seems like a step backwards.  Once again Microsoft appears to be messing with the developers and changing their future development plans.  I’m glad Mac’s iOS does not do this..

Anyway…  you can read about it here..
