A new app is appearing in Marketplace called DioDict with Collins Dictionary. It’s from Samsung so it’s likely a Samsung exclusive (so you need one of their phones) but it’s not appearing in the Samsung Zone (it’s in the free apps) so I’m not sure where it falls yet. Getting to the app, it’s a … Read more
ComputerWorld has digested a McAfee report titled 2011 Threat Predications Report. Now, I’ll presume that a company that’s in the anti-virus industry always predicts lots of threats…then they sell something to stop them. But it’s still an interesting thesis. They note that OS X users have always thought that their OS is impenetrable to attacks … Read more
Gotta love Wednesday Xbox Live release day. Today we get Revolution and Rise of Glory. Rise of Glory is a flight simulator from Microsoft (so they claim – see below about how they neutered the best parts). An amazing First World War flight simulator with arcade accents. Fly your favorite plane in the single player … Read more
Jigsaw Guru now comes in two flavors – a $.99 version and a free/ad based version. You get to use one of the preset images or load an image from your phone and then complete a jigsaw puzzle based on it. You can vary the difficulty by having a small 3×4 piece puzzle, get harder … Read more
VidTrim is a simple Android application that lets’ you trim a video clip so you can get rid of the parts that you don’t want. And it’s ad supported so it’s free. It seems to be working on most devices but it can vary (because of various ways to encode). The working devices are: – … Read more
I gave up on stocks a while ago (got burned way too many times) but if you’re into the markets then having 6 stocks on a tile (for quick glance and go capabilities) is probably pretty ideal. And that’s what StockAlert Live! offers. Remember, the way that WP7 pushes updates to live tiles they won’t … Read more
One of the top selling apps in Marketplace is an audio recording app. Now it has some extra features to it, but in case you didn’t know you do have an audio recorder and note taker on your phone already. They just so happen to call it OneNote. Go to Office, then open a new … Read more
I think Microsoft is the company that hates itself the most. I mean, isn’t the point of being a large corporation with an ecosystem that you’re supposed to use it? I know about that pesky monopoly thing but now it seems like they spend their time promoting third parties. Today Bing is giving away a … Read more
Am I the only one that finds it odd that MSNBC (yeah MS as in Microsoft) would use a headline of “New owner of an Xbox phone? Play these games”? I haven’t heard anyone mainstream refer to Windows Phone as an Xbox phone but MSNBC is probably not the right party to stir the confusion … Read more
It looks like the casino game Deal Or No Deal: Vegas Gold is heading to Windows Phones since the achievements are loaded. Now don’t confuse this for just a Deal or No Deal game. It’s already an iOS game so here’s what we’re looking at: Welcome to Vegas! Discover a high-rolling twist on the world-famous … Read more
Fancy ass 3D graphics are cool and all, but every now and then you just want a simple classic arcade game. A few games hit the Windows Phone Marketplace recently I just want to mention. First up is Pixel Man, which was an Xbox Indie game that’s made it to Windows Phone. You are an … Read more
A few months ago we previewed Fierce Game Hunting and it’s now available for Windows Phone. It’s a hunting game but they must have heard some people not like the theme so instead of hunting you’re actually shooting with tranquilizers to tag them with a tracker – nice way to play nice for all. Here’s … Read more
