24hours BEST Engineering Competition

Posted: March 16th, 2009

The 24hours BEST Engineering competition will be held next weekend. You can participate if you’re a student @ FEUP or FCUP.

2: The interface improvements are still way behind the curve.
3: The UI tweaks are mostly just skin deep, and third-parties have already gone way deeper.
4: It doesn’t support capacitive touchscreens.
5: It’s not due out until “later this year.”
6: You probably can’t upgrade your phone.
7: No Zune integration. Not even a new Windows Media Player.
8: Where’s the keyboard?
9: The browser is still weak.
10: It doesn’t innovate in any way.
