MST Examination

Windows Phone 7 Marketplace hits 3,000 apps and games, attracts 15,000 developers

With such figures, Windows Phone 7 is indeed a successful mobile platform in our market. There is now only one type of problem in the market and that is the hunger of consuming power from the device with the OS. If Microsoft will to solve this problem, I believe Microsoft will definitely gain more market share.

HTC HD2 Camera Launch While Locked

Inspired by this great feature of Windows Phone 7 Camera, there's a free application for the HTC HD2 which will give you an almost similar feature. The application, once started, will respond to the Home hardware key and bypass the locked state of your Device and directly launch the Camera app. In a scenario where your device is sleeping, you push the Home button once and the device resumes (but still locked) and then you give it a second push of the button which will take you to the Camera app directly.

And if your Unlock sequence is different than the stock sliding one, the app comes with an unlock gesture learning mode where you can predefine your own sequence to unlock your device. As far as installation is concerned, just download the CAB and install it to your Device. If you want the app to start automatically with the system, just create a shortcut to the app in Windows\StartUp folder and you're set.

Update: The app also polls the proximity sensor and if it senses that it is for instance, in a pocket, it will do nothing so you don't have to worry about capturing some pictures of the insides of your pockets.

PowerMat Wireless Charging

Worked exactly as the name of this product. It charges the smartphone wirelessly without plugging into the device. Neat and smart. Currently only sold in the US and best of all, its sold out. Everyone clear the stocks once its out ! Its simply a nice piece of technology bringing more convenience to our life =D I will definitely get one if its available in Singapore !

SingTelShop - Phones for free

This is bullshit.. Out of so many people registering this lucky draw, this same person won twice. I believed that it is their own staff and they save the phone from giving it out, getting lots of people's details on registering, so they can send advertisements to our phone !!

Windows Phone 7 ported to HTC HD2

Okay more news about having the Windows Phone 7 OS being ported to HTC HD2. This is already a good progress by the XDA developers !! I had tried the real Windows Phone 7 with my friend's phone. It was brilliant as a version 1 type of standard. I'm sure the future updates will make it even more better. I see a potential competition in the near future. By that time comes, HTC HD2 is running more and more smoothly as the original Windows Phone 7 devices.
