I was just glancing over a interview with Halfbrick’s marketing director, Phil Larsenn about Fruit Ninja on Windows Phone 7 and stumbled upon this priceless quote:
This is Halfbrick’s first product for Windows Phone. How is it to develop for?
Phil Larsen: Windows Phone in general, as you saw during the conference, it has nine different phones. The challenge for developing for Windows Phone – and for Android as well, I guess – is that you need to accommodate for different devices, with different specs. Whereas iPhone is usually one thing.
I’m guessing that he missed the memo: Every Windows Phone 7 device out now has exactly the same set of hardware specifications (besides the amout of Ram/Rom) so developers don’t have to “accommodate” for anything. Anyway, marketing directors shouldn’t talk about software development…Check out my Fruit Ninja hands on video here.
