You can find a link to download the app from Zaam’s new site, and … Read more
There has been some talk of this in the past, but this serves as further proof that there will be some tie in with Xbox and Windows Mobile in the near future. Dubbed “Xbox Live Games", they are described as “the mobile version of the Xbox LIVE service available on Windows phones.” Hopefully this is … Read more
Microsoft has always taken a different approach than other manufacturers when it comes to mobile platforms. Both Blackberry and Apple produce the hardware and operating system for their mobile devices and third parties are invited to the party to make accessories and apps. Microsoft, as we know, has not entered the mobile hardware market yet … Read more

The other day Herg released his latest Fuze ROM running build 23412 which I’ve been happily running. Today I turned on TF3D (which I usually have disabled) to see how it runs. When I scrolled to the weather tab I was greeted with a Google Maps ‘accept or decline’ page requesting permission to use ‘My … Read more

I posted this over on our sister site Xbox360Digest as well, but it deserves to be posted here as well I think:
Not exactly Xbox related but yet it is… if you’ve got an iPhone and COD:WaW on your Xbox you can link them and access stats, news etc with this free App from Treyarch
Fans Can Soon Access Stats and News Updates Anytime, Anywhere
Marking a first for the Call of Duty franchise and its millions of dedicated fans, Activision Publishing, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATVI) and Call of Duty : World at War developer Treyarch, will launch the first iPhone(TM) application as a companion for the blockbuster game today via iTunes for free. The Call of Duty: World at War Companion allows fans who own iPhones to remotely access important news and updates from the palm of their hand. Additionally, players with linked accounts on www.CoDWaW.com (for the Xbox 360(TM) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system from Sony) will be able to see key stats from the game.
You probably remember when themuzz released his streaming widget which was the first third party widget and then hrhnick released his MySpace widget as only the second third party widget. Both times we hoped that developers would extract the contents of the widgets to understand how they work and then use that to make their own widgets…and that didn’t happen. So we stepped in and we’re providing 50 Widgets today! So this can be your programs list:)
These are not complex widgets. In fact, they’re among the most simplistic widgets that can be made but they do provide a ‘chromeless’ experience that have the feel of apps (and they install like apps). They do require an internet connection when in use (since they are grabbing data from the web) but I think the end experience is still a good one. If you enter your information it is remembered so on the weather widget, for example, it will remember your location. And more than anything, the goal is to bring widgets to the attention of more developers so more complex widgets can start to be released.
Enough background, let’s get to the widgets:
Apparently so. When Kikizo interviewed Shane Kim, Corporate Vice President of Strategy and Business Development at Microsoft, he hinted at the possibility of it. Kikizo: The mobile space is really interesting at the moment. I mean, iPhone is just a whole new thing right now. From a content distribution point of view, you guys already … Read more
