Microsoft Street Slide: it’s electric! (video)

Posted on 28. Jul, 2010 by IBM. 

Remember the first time you used Google Street View? Amazing, right? Thing is, traversing a busy urban street in a 360-degree photographic bubble can be disorienting, especially when searching for a specific address or business. So check this: Microsoft Research has developed a rather nifty solution it calls Street Slide. Zoom out of your panoramic bubble and the street is presented as a dynamic, multi-perspective “strip” giving you an instant visual summary of the surroundings — similar to viewing the entire street from a distance. Fortunately, Microsoft took advantage of what would otherwise be the unused letterboxed screen above and below the strip to add navigational and informational aids like clickable business logos and building numbers. Pretty impressive, and Microsoft is already working on taking Street Slide mobile with an iPhone port, and no doubt a version for the upcoming Windows Phone 7 series of devices. Unfortunately, don’t expect this to be released anytime soon as the team has only processed about 2400 panoramas so far covering just 4 kilometers of streets. Check the video after the break, you’ll be glad you did.

AT&T claims it will be ‘the premier carrier’ for Windows Phone 7

Posted on 27. Jul, 2010 by IBM. 

Without question, AT&T‘s wireless growth these past few years has been largely based on iPhone — and with apparently good reason, if you look at the numbers. As far as other platforms go, however, it’s not been as rosy. Android‘s relation with the carrier, for example, is a story woven with years of hesitation, some questionable releases, and a rival that’s fully embraced it to notable success (releases like the Captivate and Streak suggest a stronger future). So with all that in mind, what we’re hearing from AT&T in the wake of Windows Phone 7 is decidedly more committal. Here’s what a spokesperson told PC World this week: “We’ll be the premier carrier for Windows Phone 7″ (emphasis ours). Strong words, but we still haven’t heard concrete plans from anyone, including Microsoft, on what’s going on with the release. Whispers care of our friend Michael Gartenberg suggest AT&T has “signed up for 8 million” phones and our own eyes have espied some launch materials, but we’ll just have to see. Your move, Ma Bell. Assuage our doubts, k?

P.S. It’s also worth noting that, after the Kin debacle, Microsoft and Verizon aren’t exactly BFF, meaning rival AT&T’s “premier” claim isn’t likely to be contested by the one carrier with more subscribers.
