I thought I would miss Live Tiles but I don’t

Eric Shupps used a Windows Phone (he actually used a phone that ran the operating system, Windows Phone, so he used a Windows Phone phone but that sounds totally fucking stupid so I’m not using it outside of these parentheses) for 2 years then he switched back to an iPhone.
Here are his findings.
It’s great to hear a review from someone who has actually used two operating systems before he both praises and talks shit about them both.
His conclusion? He’s sticking with his iPhone, but both platforms have their problems (Microsoft’s has more problems) and he’s a self-admitted “Microsoft guy”.

The Right Tools

Suresh Selvaraj on how Mitya came about:

Imagine an author had to write a novel using Photoshop. Or, a programmer had to code in Word. Doesn’t even make sense, right? But this is what Interaction Designers are forced to put up with right now. IxDs have to use After Effects, a static video editing tool, or Quartz Composer, a programming tool, to create their visual interactions! They have to do their job using tools that were originally built for someone else!
After watching the demo video, I think Mitya has the potential to be a great application for creating interactive prototypes for mobile apps.
