At the moment, my main focus has been creating Windows Phone 7 apps for sale on Microsoft Windows Marketplace under the ‘mobilewares.net’ brand. My 34th WP7 app is currently undergoing certification. I’m probably best known in WP7 land for titles like AU Weather Pro (which was the top selling WP7 news/weather app in AU in 2011) as well as a bunch of sports titles targetting different US, Australian and New Zealand based sporting competitions. I currently have the top 3 ranked paid sports apps in Australia, and similarly I’ve had several #1 top sellers during 2011 in other regions such as the USA, Canada, Europe, South East Asia and New Zealand.
A few years prior to getting hooked on WP7 development, I launched a bunch of titles for Windows Media Center Platform (under the “Big Screen Global” brand) including various popular 10 foot plugins and tools for importing and utilizing EPG data in non Microsoft supported regions like Australia — two of the most popular being “Big Screen EPG” and “Big Screen byRemote”. Going further back, when mobilewares was founded I spent a few years developing J2ME titles for the early color smartphones such as Nokia’s Series 40/60 platforms with many apps launched globally on various carriers.
