Exclusive Interview with Microsoft on Shadow/Neo

[Guest kwoodall]

We sat down this week for a virtual interview with Jay Ongg, a Senior Development Lead at Microsoft in the Windows Mobile Team to discuss Windows Mobile and new developments his team has finished creating.

Jay's group recently completed the new Neo interface for T-Mobile's Shadow smartphone, which is powered by Windows Mobile 6 Standard . This new interface is graphically stunning and yet is no iPhone imitator (which wouldn't be possible as they were developing it long before the iPhone released). It's made this class of smartphone far easily and more enjoyable to use. So much so that T-Mobile has declared this new phone part of a 'Fun' line of phones.

Read on for the full interview!
