All WP7 phones will have five hardware buttons: back, home, search, camera, and power
Unfortunately that's where things appear to be going. The HD2 only has 2 of the 3 buttons that will be required. Also I don't know if it supports 4 point multitouch. The only hope is that maybe the Home button could be mapped to function as the required search button, but who knows?
Am I the only one who thinks that microsoft took a wrong turn with WP 7? It's just an iPhone wannabe now instead of a versatile platform like WM 6.5 was. Seriously disappointed.
I think the best move is that MS didn't go out of their way of making it compatible with older WM. I think that would have dragged them to hell. They needed a fresh start. If they could have made the old WM compete with the newer OS'es, MS would have done it ages ago.
The OS doesn't know what image is on the buttons, so long as there are three buttons available they can be mapped.
Multitouch is a software issue not hardware.
Fear not, Mr C. Licken, the sky is not yet falling in.
Looks like we will have to turn to an android port if we don't want to get left behind.
I agree, so long as that demo was 'real', and the platform is as open and cross integrated as it seemed, then should be good.
Oh, and lol @ 'we have no OBJECTION to flash support', , , hehe in your face jobs
Yes, I am quite sure that the is gona be an update for the hd2!
I dont understand what most of the ppl here mean with 2 buttons can't you count? I see 5 buttons...
There is jsut the thing with the multitouch I am not sure about.. if the hardware supports 4 inputs at once!
Cheers
