Windows Phone may still be a long ways behind in market share, but their customer satisfaction rating is through the roof. In fact they are the number one rated mobile platform on Amazon. It seems those high marks haven’t gone unnoticed, even by Apple. An iPhone screenshot recently surfaced showing that Siri now rates the Nokia Lumia 900 as “the best cell phone ever” – specifically, the cyan version is Siri’s favorite.
Answers given by Siri are not programmed by Apple, but are the results of the analytical search engine Wolfram Alpha. In other words, the results are genuine.
The Lumia 900 is currently available only on AT&T in the U.S., and also on many other carriers around the world. It’s currently the best value for a top-of-the-line smartphone on the market. It’s available in black, white, and cyan.

Evernote Announces Purchase of Penultimate
Last Updated on Monday, 7 May 2012 07:22 Written by Alan Monday, 7 May 2012 07:22
Evernote, the popular note taking app for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and the web, today announced the purchase of the Penultimate handwriting app for iPad. Penultimate is the fourth most popular paid app for the iPad. Penultimate is a handwriting app that allows the user to take notes using a stylus in the same way you would use a pen on a pad of paper. Not only can you use it for notes, but you can make sketches as well, and also import images to add another element to your notes.
Penultimate, at least for now, won’t be folded into Evernote, but remain a separate app. ”Penultimate will stay a separate, elegant application and will get many much-requested Evernote-y improvements including full search and synchronization.” Penultimate CEO Ben Zotto will also be working with Evernote to bring handwriting to their app.
It’s likely that the two apps will eventually merge, but neither side is willing to say that at the moment. Evernote is also compatible across multiple platforms so it’s possible that this deal will lead to Penultimate opening up to Android tablets. For now you can get Penultimate from the iTunes App Store for $0.99. You can check out a video from Evernote CEO Phil Libin and Ben Zotto posted below.

Angry Birds Space, the latest iteration of the Rovio Angry Birds franchise, has been out just over a month and has become the fastest growing mobile game in history. Angry Birds Space is available for both Android and iOS devices and is expected to also come to Windows Phone at some point in the future. Today Rovio announced the “official” numbers – 50 million downloads over the first 35 days.
The game has proven so popular that the first updated levels were released less than a month after launch, which is considerably quicker than previous Angry Birds versions were updated.
“We extend our deepest gratitude to all fans of Angry Birds everywhere. While numbers like this certainly say something about the popularity of Angry Birds, for us the main goal is to keep creating fun new experiences that everybody can enjoy! We just launched the first free update for Angry Birds Space, with plenty more surprises in stock.”
Angry Birds can be installed from both the Google Play Store and iTunes App Store. There is a free, ad-supported, version as well as a $0.99 ad-free version. You can read the full Rovio announcement over at their blog and check out the trailer video posted below.
