This new ad featuring “Revolution is coming” was shown is a London Cinema event. I’ve a feeling much more is coming. Fasten your seat belts for Windows Phone 7!

The stats reveal that the users on iOS based devices have seen a sharp increase in the previous months, making the iOS users more than the users of Linux and Android combined. The graphs also reveal that the number of users have seen a hike after the release of Apple iPhone 4 and iPad from Apple which have made browsing even easier on mobile platforms. In August 2010, iOS had a 1.13% share, Linux had 0.85% while Android stood at a bare 0.20%. However these numbers does not reflect the number of devices sold with these operating systems but the users that are browsing the web.

According to the Net Application’s Vice President:

“It’s something to take note of when a mobile operating system passes something that’s been around forever. Mobile’s growth curve is strong and mobile is becoming quite a phenomenon on the Internet”

One can combine the iOS and Mac OSX, and Linux and Android in a single category as they use similar kernels. However technology giant Microsoft is no where to be seen. Let’s see if the Windows Phone 7 manages to capture the iOS realm.

The story of red dead redemption begins in 1911, near the end of the ‘wild west’ era , in which John Marston is forced by the government to hunt down and kill his ex-gang members. The story itself would make a great movie but as we know movies of games usually do not go down well with the cinema going public. Take the game Hitman for example, it was transformed into a movie in 2007 and received mostly negative reviews from critics. But could Red Dead Redemption be any better? After all it does have a solid story line, strong characters and an epic setting to prove itself.

Brad Pitt will also make a good cowboy after staring in the film The Assassination of Jesse James. But would he make a good John Marston is the question I find myself asking. In my eyes, Brad Pitt does not have the attitude or presence that John Marston has. There may be others out there who are right for the part such as Sean Bean who stared in the TV series Sharpe or even Viggo Mortensen. If only John Wayne were still alive.
