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.

Welcoming New Android Version 2.3, "Gingerbread"

Yes, it had once rumored as version 3.o codenamed gingerbread. But its actually version 2,3.
Below are some of the new features of the latest version coming soon in the christmas season:

•Bugfixes based upon its predecessor operating systems.
•Open source video codec that can replace flash.
•Enhanced advertising algorithm.
•Advanced Navigation System.
•HTML5 or higher standard specs.
•Native video embedding in web pages that will enable viewing of any video without acquiring specific codec.
•Enriched & more interactive User Interface.

These may mean little, however, more of such demos and news will probably be out some where in 8 November 10, just a few days ahead.

The Power of HTC HD2

You have heard about HTC HD2 running its original Windows Mobile 6.5. U have also seen HTC HD2 running on android. The original hardware of HTC HD2 released since a year and several months ago, is still on par and better than most of the newer hardware released so far in terms of Specification. When compared against benchmark ranking, HTC HD2 is still at the top few position despite of an old device.

Now. The developers at XDA developers are going to port in Windows Phone 7 OS where Microsoft are not intended to bring the new OS into the HTC HD2, is going to be not a miracle. Before this, do u ever seen fruit phone able to boot two OS? No. Do u see robot phone booting two OS? No. Now HTC_HD2 is going to be one of the phone that is going to be able to multi-boot many OS and the hardware is making all OS to run smoothly. Remember.. This is not a miracle. Thanks to the developers in XDA Developers.

Windows 7 Minimum Hardware Specification

The minimum requirements for the CPU are 1GHz. Other than the CPU, the camera is standard at 5 Megapixel and 720p video recording. The hardware buttons are also standard three buttons on all devices. The problem here is that the price is also kept at a standard high price. I was thinking of getting a smartphone with windows 7 to give it a try, but due to the specification requirement, the phone is gonna be a BOMB !

Dual Sim Card Phone

For those who have many girlfriends, I recommend Nokia C1-00. It have a dual-SIM card slots, so u won't need to have a hassle to keep changing sim card again and again. However, one service can be active at a time. However its still easier to switch between service rather than manually change the SIM card within.
