Fair is fair, right? Last time we talked, we gave you all a great opportunity to tell webOS “review of how the new owners of 2.0 should be changed, and now that Microsoft’s latest and greatest is the free market a few months, it is time to do the same for Windows 7 Phone WP7 This clearly is a big, big leap forward with Windows Mobile, but the fledgling mobile operating system, is of course quite a few places where This can be improved. If you are blessed with the ability to magically wave a wand and change anything in Windows Phone 7, what would it be? Would you like to tweak how the e-mail notification? Alter the system will work if how the tiles are laid Make it just slightly cheaper than Kin Go on and spill your heart everywhere – you’re an early adopter, you’ve got the right of

SurfCube gives Windows Phone 7 the 3D browser it needed so desperately

jedwan — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 16:00:07 +0000

If there’s one thing the 90s taught us, it’s that these silly 2D interfaces are only a passing fancy, and soon everything will be VRML-based mirror worlds of our physical space. SurfCube is a small, tentative step in that direction, turning the browser into a fake 3D experience of sorts, with favorites on “top,” and history and settings on the “sides,” while the front face of the cube is, naturally, the browser part. You can get around with swipes and flashy tilt gestures, and for $ 1.99 on the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace it’s hard to go wrong. Just remember our VRML warning, and start investing in MicroVideoGoggles Inc. stock with your carphone once you get home from the record store.

I have some ideas for android and possibly iphone apps, but I have a pc and only know some javascript. Does anyone know of some software that I can get that would make creating apps easier? I have already signed up for Google’s App Inventor and I am waiting for an invite. I have also installed appcelorator, but it isn’t that easy to use.

Is there an android app that changes the appearance of an incoming call? I have the samsung intercept, and I don’t like the way an incoming call looks. Its too plain and when I assign an personal caller ID to a contact, the picture is too small.
By the way, I don’t get the little AndroidBot that usually pops up on android devices. Its the outline of a person and its gray.

Verizon apps start showing up in Windows Phone 7′s Marketplace, you figure out the rest

jedwan — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 22:49:12 +0000

It’s an open secret (okay, it’s not really a secret at all) that Verizon plans to carry Windows Phone 7 handsets before too long, and in preparation for that grand event, it seems Big Red is populating the platform’s Marketplace with a few wares. Verizon versions of Slacker Radio and Netflix are now in there alongside a carrier app — My Verizon Mobile — that lets you pull the usual stunts with your account like changing features and paying your bill. ‘Course, they can drop 50 apps in there and it still doesn’t mean much without hardware… so hopefully we see that Trophy launch within a few weeks.

Windows Phone 7′s Marketplace grows faster than Android did at launch, doesn’t mean much

admin — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 06:02:38 +0000

An analyst note released by research firm IDC yesterday points out that in the nearly two months since Windows Phone 7′s retail release, the Windows Marketplace has swelled to 4,000 applications — a number that the Android Market took five months to reach. That’s impressive, no doubt, and the analyst behind the numbers notes that he “would not be surprised if Microsoft had the third largest app portfolio in the industry by the middle of next year.” Now granted, hitting number three would take very little effort on Microsoft’s part — they’d just have to beat webOS, BlackBerry OS, and Symbian, none of which have sparked iOS- or Android-like levels of developer interest. So beyond that, what does the growth mean? Read on!

[Thanks, Stephen]

HTC HD2 and Nexus One get some Gingerbread crumbs (update: EVO, Droid and Desire, too)

jedwan — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 07:40:02 +0000

With Gingerbread freely distributed to the open-source masses, it probably won’t surprise you to hear there already a custom ROM for Google’s darling Nexus One. But what if we told you Android 2.3 is now available for the HTC HD2 as well? That’s right, the Windows Mobile 6.5 powerhouse can now snap off a sugary piece of the same Android code, and from what we hear in the XDA-developers forums, it works pretty decently, too. Like the Samsung Galaxy S we saw getting the green tie treatment this morning, the HTC HD2 and Nexus One don’t exactly have stable, fully functional builds, but as long as you know what you’re doing and don’t need petty luxuries like cameras, GPS receivers and official Google apps, you’ll probably be just fine. Find files and a modicum of instruction at our source links below.

Update: While these cookies are half-baked, unconfirmed and potentially dangerous to those not well versed in the art of Android hackery, we’re hearing that the HTC EVO 4G, original Motorola Droid and HTC Desire are now sporting early Gingerbread ROMs too. It seems the source code is relatively easy to compile for other phones, so with any luck there’ll be a compatible build for your device soon.

Dell ships at least one Venue Pro, the saga continues

admin — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 16:00:04 +0000

The observant among you will have noticed that we’re a week past December 9th, yet Venue Pros are still conspicuously absent from their pre-orderers’ hands. Dell’s ever-changing shipping date was last bumped back to early January, though the company itself said it was hopeful that some units will ship out this week. And guess what? At least one did. Our tipster placed his order for the 8GB Venue Pro on December 2nd, and according to FedEx’s online tracking service, his shipment has been picked up from El Paso, Texas, and is currently en route to him. What say you, brave Windows Phone buyers, has your Venue Pro broken out of the warehouses ahead of its (delayed) release?

[Thanks, John]

Early Venue Pro adopters get free Bluetooth headsets, the infinitely rewarding lesson of patience

admin — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 05:10:20 +0000

Still bummed to be waiting for your Venue Pro? Dell’s amended its December 14th shipping update — henceforth known as (this time only, and then never again) as “VP Day” — to let yearning customers know that, if they had ordered the device before that day, a present was coming in due course. Nay, not a present, a Thank You in the form of a free Plantronics Explorer 240 Bluetooth headset. That’s shipping in four to six weeks, excusing any ironic bouts of delay of its own. Let’s just hope it doesn’t beat your Windows Phone 7 device to the doorstep.

HTC Hub update helps save us from our Windows Phone 7 phones

jedwan — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 15:49:36 +0000

Remember the Windows Phone 7 ads, the ones that promised to “save us from our phones” by giving us more “glance and go” information? For the most part, these phones haven’t delivered on that promise due to the relative dearth of apps taking advantage of Microsoft’s live tile concept. That changes a bit today thanks to an update to the HTC Hub app that ships with every Windows Phone 7 device manufactured by HTC. Now, instead of a generic double-wide icon, the HTC Hub presents you with the current weather condition and temperature and the forecasted highs and lows. As such, you’ll never have to click through and be subjected to HTC’s overwrought animations that feel so out of place on Microsoft’s more demure user interface. More please.

Apple mysteriously kills jailbreak detection API while hacker boosts iOS security, irony restored

jedwan — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 07:49:53 +0000

It’s no secret that Apple’s been keen to monitor the lot of naughty jailbreakers, but it turns out the company has recently shelved iOS 4.0′s jailbreak detection API with no explanation given. While this has little effect on the average user, Network World explains that this is bad news for enterprise IT and MDM (mobile device management) vendors, who will now have one fewer channel for checking whether a user’s iOS device has been jailbroken and thus become vulnerable to attacks. That said, apparently this isn’t a huge loss for the MDM vendors, anyway; but the real question is why drop the API now? Could its presence alone be a threat? We’ll probably never know.

Fear not, though, as some folks have put jailbreaking to good use. The Register reports that come Tuesday, Stefan Esser of Sektion Eins will demonstrate a tool called antid0te, which reportedly adds ASLR (address space layout randomization) onto jailbroken iOS devices. In a nutshell, ASLR randomizes key memory locations to make it more difficult for certain attacks to locate their target data. According to the famed white hat hacker Charlie Miller, this technique is already present on Windows Phone 7 and desktop Windows since Vista, but Apple’s only dabbled with it on OS X and not on iOS. Now, this doesn’t mean that jailbroken devices will be fully safeguarded, but some protection is better than no protection, right?

Microsoft said to be planning second Windows Phone 7 update for MWC in February

admin — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 14:03:39 +0000

Coming this February, at a Mobile World Congress near you, from the company that popularized the Service Pack: a second major update to Windows Phone 7. The observant among you will already be leaping out of their seats to point out that the first WP7 update hasn’t even been delivered yet, but it seems like Microsoft’s calendar stretches beyond the next month and the company’s already churning away on enhancing and improving its rebooted mobile OS. Such is the scuttlebutt coming out of WinRumors, and it’s kind of hard to argue with the postulation that Steve Ballmer wouldn’t be keynoting MWC in 2011 without something significant to announce. Word is that users will be getting added customization options for their phones, while developers will gain an extra few API hooks and controls that will ideally lead to more sophisticated apps in WP7′s future. Sounds good to us, now how about some landscape love, Microsoft?

[Thanks, Jay]
