Yahtzee Time…I Mean Yarboo Time

XDA member dikkyboy has released a flash based arcade version of Yahtzee called Yarboo. Just take a look at the pic to see what it looks like. Since it’s flash it resizes to VGA and just gives you slight bars on the side that do not impact game play. Now I think it works well [...]

Iris Browser Is Done – Torch Mobile Sold to RIM

I’ll let their website speak for itself: If you go to the website now the download links for Iris have been removed. So if you want to get some Webkit love you need to start  looking for Dorothy to come through. I liked Iris (good use of the past tense, right?). And if you have [...]

A Walk Through WM 6.5 Build 23028 – Naked

There are so many cooked ROMs out there it’s hard to tell how far Microsoft has come with 6.5. With that in mind, Herg put together a naked ROM for me – one that lacks HTC and other enhancements. This way you can get a sense as to what MS has done and what they [...]

Herm’s Software Presents: Eggs (freebie:))

The Tegra Effect

NVidia’s Tegra chip is responsible for the obscenely smooth performance of the ZuneHD. They got it right. Not only did they provide a fast chip but they optimized it (you know, fancy things like drivers). From their press release we get a good sense as to why the processor is so powerful. Key to Tegra’s [...]

Automatically Answer Calls With Speakerphone On

Oldsap’s SpeakerPhone – Auto On has just been updated and I’ve tested it on my Fuze running 6.5 and it appears to work as expected. The application lets you set your phone to automatically turn on the speakerphone when you answer a phone call. This is very useful when driving if you lack a proper [...]

Jack The Ripper – Not Just a Fart App

Herm has done it again – this time with his release of Jack The Ripper. This isn’t just another fart application. It does start with 40 fart sounds that you can scroll through and select or play randomly. That alone would make me chuckle. But it also has a few advanced features. You can set [...]
