“Windows Phone 7 Doesn’t Need Tethering"”. That’s the title of a PCWorld blog entry posted today. Essentially, the argument is that carriers are shunning tethering through excessive pricing that’s tiered. So on AT&T, for example, the privilege to tether is $20 plus $25 per 2gb/month. Meanwhile you can get a cheaper portable WiFi hotspot (like … Read more
Augmented reality is all over the place but on Windows Phone 7 there have been some questions about how it would translate. Well, here’s a preview of Wizup which is in the Developpeurs competition. This is a lot like the app Scan Search we talked about previously. Take a snippet of life and the app … Read more
So Microsoft reached out to BGR to tell them that Brandon Watson misspoke the other day and WP7 does NOT support tethering. We didn’t carry the original story that it could tether because, quite frankly, we took it for granted so it didn’t seem like news. But not tethering is news. Apparently MS doesn’t realize … Read more
This is great on a Friday. It’s a game for Windows Phone 7 that’s geared towards kids. So you have to match the letter the game presents against one of three letters, or tell them which equation has a sum of 10 for example. The time restraint to answer the question is the amount of … Read more
Engadget obtained a a picture of the Samsung-i916 next to an iPhone 4. I love the picture because you get a good sense as to the size of the Samsung device and I think it’s pretty good. Just a drop larger than the iPhone. Aesthetically, I can live with this. You?
WMPU got their hands on the spec sheet for the HTC 7 Trophy (a slightly smaller version of the HD7) and the specs are essentially identical. 8gb RAM, no TV-out, no front facing camera, just 5mp camera. I would disregard the 16m color line- the screen can have that ability but the OS dictates the … Read more
So J.D. Power and Associates released the findings on wireless use and customer satisfaction. Here’s the interesting part: For a fourth consecutive time, Apple ranks highest in customer satisfaction among manufacturers of smartphones with a score of 800 on a 1,000-point scale, and performs particularly well in ease of operation, operating system, features and physical … Read more
The Street did an article on Windows Phone 7 today and in it they quote a Morgan Stanley analyst who predicts that Windows Phone 7 will attain 15% of the OS market share within 2 years. Doesn’t sound like a lot to you? Currently RIM is 18%, Android 17% and Apple at 14% according to … Read more
“TranslateIt allows you to translate this text on pictures (optical character recognition), to simple translation and listen to the translated text.” Yup, this is the trick that Google Goggles can do, but here it is on Windows Phone 7. The video is in French (I could use the app now to translate it) but it’s … Read more
WMPU must have a good source because they’ve just gotten another HTC HD7 leak. This time it’s the specifications. Not to preempt your enthusiasm, but it’s pretty much an HD2 with a few minor modifications to the button layout. The size is even almost identical. Still looks like no tv-out and I’m still not happy … Read more
Just yesterday we brought you video of Fuse – an RSS reader for Windows Phone 7 with a totally unique look and feel that I love. Well the developer loaded Mobility Digest and our YouTube into the RSS and provided us with these frames showing the three themes of Fuse. Seeing the site load that … Read more
