  • I’m a WP7! app for Windows Phone

    I’m always trying to get a realistic handle on the uptake of Windows Phone, there have been poor reports on it’s uptake, and if you go into any local carrier store here in Australia, you will most probably receive a lack lustre response from sales staff towards the platform. If they can describe it’s features…

  • No early Mango release, just a developer phone

    Most of you would remember some of the hype around Mango being available early for registered developers, it was a bit exciting to think that I might get early access to the next major update for Windows Phone.

  • Microsoft Windows 8 preview blurs the boundaries between mobile and desktop computing

  • Video: If I got my hands on prototype running Mango…

    This is just amusing, but I think exactly what I would do, if I got my hands on a WP7 device, running the New Mango Update. Even at the presentation, [sounds like Joe Belfiore talking in the background] these guys from Howard Forums, could not contain their curiosity, and made their own sub plot Video.…

  • Screen Capture App for WP7, Homebrew!

    One of the essential tools for bloggers when reviewing mobile phones and applications is the ability to capture screenshots of the device and application in action. Makes sense right? Isn’t picture is worth a thousand words? But the native API’s for Windows Phone, don’t allow for that functionality. Although I’ve posted about screenshots on WP7…
