Windows Mobile Update Coming?

April 14th, 2009 by Arjan Olsder Posted in Platforms: Windows Mobile | No Comments »

Microsoft Arstechnica picked up on another Microsoft job post last month that might reveal some very important functionality to Windows Mobile 7. It seems that the OS will allow instant updates.

“Have you wished to see your Windows Mobile phone with new features "magically" show up without you buying a new one? Do you want to see greater and better quality and cool software delivered to your love ones’ Windows phones from just a click? If this is your dream, this is a place for you. Come join us to make this dream into reality! With the mobile industry’s strong growth and several competitors playing in the field, we are going to have a challenging but fun time to show customers what Windows phone can become in the next few years.”

“We are in Windows Mobile device update team. Our goal is to enable customers to anticipate and enjoy a predictable stream of new and improved capabilities for their Windows Phone via a Device Update service that is worry-free and easy-to-use. Broad scope and impact, deep technologies, engineering challenges, partner interfacing with OEMs and MS internal partners, and fast pace delivery are all part of our charter. In the agile development environment, you will be working with PM/architect/test and partner teams to deliver critical stack of the update solution. You will lead a team of smart developers to solve problems in mobile OS, PC applications, and interacting with web services.”

Update functionality like this might be ideal when it comes to safety, but developers have to keep in mind that there might be a downside to it as well as software might just start to malfunctioning if Microsoft updates vital changes to the platform.
