If you look around the company at other places where things like this are important, Windows Mobile rises to the top. They have devices which are always connected, which make applications like maps really cool and important.<\/p>\n<p>On a sometimes-connected device, what people are using them for are games. So what we didn\u2019t want to do was build two parallel app store experiences that didn\u2019t work together.<\/p>\n<p>Right now our product roadmaps didn\u2019t line up perfectly for us to snap to what they\u2019re doing or vice versa. That being said, we know people want things like this on their devices so we\u2019re going to build them ourselves, they\u2019re going to be super high-quality, and they\u2019re going to be free.<\/p>\n<p>Down the road if there\u2019s a way we can work with Windows Mobile or another group inside the company that\u2019s building an app store and take advantage of that, that\u2019s something we\u2019ll look into.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><b>Translation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><em>No, because our mobile strategy is a convoluted mess.<\/em><\/b><\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This from http:\/\/daringfireball.net\/linked\/2009\/09\/15\/zune-translationTranslation From PR-Speak to English of Zune Marketing Manager Brian Seitz\u2019s Response to the Question of Whether the Zune Will \u2018Open Up for Third-Party App Developers Zune marke&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/joshdance.me\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166632024"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/joshdance.me\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/joshdance.me\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/joshdance.me\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/joshdance.me\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=166632024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/joshdance.me\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166632024\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/joshdance.me\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166632024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/joshdance.me\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=166632024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/joshdance.me\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=166632024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
