Windows Phone 7 is, as we speak, losing fantastic applications because of its approval process.

Designer Silverlight » Blog Archive » Windows Phone 7 UX – One Size Does Not Fit All.

I would like to quote one para from the linked post.

I can’t overestimate how frustrated my clients are with the Microsoft approval process. It ranges from sadness to fury. Clients who are on virtually all other platforms are expressing frustration that they have never had so much trouble getting through an approval process. The rejection reports are inconsistent, spotty, and fragmented. We will submit an app 5 times and get different “errors” back each time. Nine times out of ten, those errors are not errors, but complaints about UX functionality. Of those, at least half of them are complaints about functionality that, if fixed, would worsen the user experience.

I love Microsoft and I love Windows Phone 7, but rejecting apps based on the UX guidelines (while not giving us the tools to abide by the guidelines effectively) is a recipe for suicide.

Cold night

It is 3am in the night. I am still wide awake and have pulled back the window shades to let the cold winter air come in. Dunno what but there is something magical about cold winter nights. Something inside me likes cold nights like this. I catch cold quite soon but still the cold wind of the night appeals quite a lot to me. I get a rush of emotions on nights like this. Dunno what causes them but anyway it feels great. With these emotions songs like Oasis’ Wonderwall gels well. Aah, come December I can’t wait to feel ur intensity.
