They won't be selling 'mobile games' but all games as the hardware by next year will be greater than Vita and capable of matching anything on consoles. Granted, me saying Steam will be there is based off of nothing specifically stated, just me putting together the dots. 2) The whole printing via web thing is relatively new (2011), but it is becoming standard fare... just like wifi in printers pretty much is now. I personally leave my Nexus phone stock as it works perfectly fine. However, my last phone had samsung's flavor wrapped on the phone and I had a blast rooting and putting tons of different roms on my phone. Then there are tons of launchers that require no root to change the way it works. Basically anything goes. I also like how Android is more like my windows desktop. I can change not only arrangement of tiles/apps, but also colors, backgroud pics, etc. Plus for me I'd be pissed if Win8 locks you to Bing and other MS stuff. I want it to be like Google where its default to the maker (obvious) but can be changed to whatever you like. |
1) Mobile games are just games that run on mobile devices in my head, so that point remains. I still doubt Valve is going to start selling mobile games any time soon, but I could see them expanding the Steam APIs to Android and iOS if that's what you mean.
2) So still a bunch of legacy devices out there that need attending to then.
Actually, many W8 previews have been commending Microsoft for moving away from that whole "most own the entire eco system" mentality they had going a few years back. Now they're basically trying to accomodate everyone and letting everyone integrate themselves into Windows on equal footing. It's quite a sensible solution they have going.
