It’s been a busy week in the Windows Phone world, what with CES, new models, and some great app announcements. What better way to catch up on all the news and make sense of it with the All About Windows Phone Team and our weekly podcast?

In this episode… we bring you all the Windows Phone related news from CES. There’s discussion of the Microsoft keynote, upcoming Xbox Live titles and the first Windows Phone LTE devices, the HTC TITAN 2 and the Nokia Lumia 900, both of which will be available through US operator AT&T. We finish, as usual, with an app pick from each of the team.

There are going to be a lot of people telling HTC why they have had their profit drop, and I suspect that the advice will match the affiliations and personal wish list of the commentators. So expect a lot of geeks to suggest the major reason for this drop is the lack of an open boot loader on their Android handsets; high-end tech blogs to just know it’s because they insist on using Sense UI and not the stock Android UI; fashion blogs will say it’s because nobody buys black any more; while the BBC will point to HTC’s appearance on Watchdog…

Sometimes blogs are more like Rorschach Ink Blot tests than people realise.

David Gilson (moonlighting at Blottr instead of the All About family), talks about the current state of play in the Android world with the linkbaiting headline of “Is Android Doomed?”

Google has to walk a fine line of not being seen to give preferential treatment to Motorola Mobility, in order to stop the likes of HTC and Samsung quitting Android. So far it’s been doing a good job, by means of helping them to fight its proxy patent war against Apple.

An interesting read…
