For those of you who have been following us for a while you may recall Steve Davis’ plea to have Crayon Physics Deluxe ported to WM. And to fill the void of living without Crayon Physics we were pleased to find a port of Numpty Physics. But the Samsung Omnia II came preinstalled with the … Read more
I know, twice in a week talking about PC connectivity but again, a lot of people don’t use their phones data as a primary source and rely on wifi or in this case, cheap wireless data plans. DataJack has launched a new service where you can buy a USB modem for $99 and then use … Read more
For those of you who don’t know about UC Browser, it’s a really light weight browser that users server side compression. In other words, when you go to a website, their servers render the site and shoot out a compressed site for your mobile. The results are ridiculously fast with sites loading between 3 and … Read more

The pdf that it creates can be toggled and range … Read more

In short, this is gives you some of the features of Sense/2.5 like weather on the hometab and full landscape support … Read more
Even though I love this game I realize that we have yet to mention it. Meon is one of the best games out there and that’s not me speaking – it’s you. It’s the 6th most popular app in Marketplace for the lite/free version and the paid version is the 16th most popular app and … Read more
It’s always been laughable that Microsoft included an option to check for updates in settings since it’s never been utilized. Well since the Pure has a hotfix available I figured I’d see if it could be picked up from the phone so I went to Settings – System – AT&T Software Updates and shockingly it … Read more
HTC has released hotfixes for both the Tilt 2 and the Pure. These are only for people who are using the stock ROM and the benefit of this is that it does not require a hard reset (so your data is untouched – it’s just like installing any other app). HTC notes the fixes as … Read more
Until now the HTC Sense interface only existed in TF3D 2.5 which was problematic for some because it lacks landscape and it’ uses a lot of system resources so it sometimes ran slow (because it was intended for phones with 1ghz processors). Well kimi_sae_ireba has been working on porting Sense 2.1 to VGA and Captain Throwback has made a Touch Pro/Fuze ROM that incorporates Sense 2.1 in its current state which is almost complete.
Captain Throwback also provided a list of differences between Sense 2.5 and Sense 2.1 as follows:
The main difference, of course, between Sense 2.1 & Sense 2.5 is that 2.1 supports Landscape, while 2.5 does not (and yes, I am aware that rotatstrain has created a landscape for 2.5, but that is NOT as designed by HTC).
