Looks like developers are into WP7. There’s a bunch of new app samples floating around out there to show off what they’re playing with. Here’s a WP7 Jogging application.

Ah the classic is back. For those of you who weren’t with me in ‘84 maybe you should stop reading now but for those of us who were there – it was sweet. Marble Madness is a simple game of getting the marble to the end of the board. This version does not use the … Read more
I was watching a Channel9 video on WP7 apps and how they exist on the phone (I know, really interesting:)) but I saw an image of the Mobile Spoon app in their demo. Now I assume it’s a placeholder for testing but noticed it had a cost that the other platforms lack. So I fired … Read more
Having a proximity sensor on a phone is great. If the screen is near your face it turns off. But what it you use a bluetooth headset, speakerphone or wired headset? The dang backlight just stays on. And if you’re smart like you you probably tried to hit the ‘power’ key to turn it off. … Read more

I can feel it happening. They’re being delivered right now. Being turned on…they’re testing Netflix…and Youtube…and Slingbox… NO! Cheap unlimited data is being chugged recklessly. I’m switching to wifi now. Good luck to you all.
Ahh thank you MS. Same videos but this time there’s an intro and sound so you know what the hell you’re looking at. And guess what? It’s like a million times better this way:) Notice the calendar HUB in action and the integration of multiple calendars. I’m loving this. Definitely worth watching even if you … Read more
So it looks like Mr. Simmon’s struck again citing a series of crazy stats about how fast the Android marketplace is growing. Wow – they have 50,000 apps, an increase of 250% since January and they may take over Apple and all of that with 60% of the apps free. OMG that sounds awesome. But … Read more
