The floodgates are getting ready to open with the second US carrier to have the Touch Pro 2 and it’s just over a week away. The pricing is exactly in line with TMo at $350 with a two year contract and after rebates, but I’d bet we’ll see discounts online like we saw from TMo … Read more
ThrottleLauncher is a UI created by APBilbo of XDA and he’s now re-written the application and released it. There’s some great stuff here like multiple pages you can define and custom widgets including an RSS feed and FaceBook. Since the UI is fully customizable you can make it your own including skinning it. From the … Read more
origins81 posted this on XDA and I really can’t help but to share it. Watch it while sitting on the floor so you can’t fall off your chair laughing. Oh and there’s one bit of foul language so if you’re not supposed to hear those words don’t play this clip:
You know that bubble wrap stuff that comes in all of your packaging that you love to pop (but don’t understand why it’s so much fun)? Well Herm made it into a game! Here’s what it is. You race to pop as many of the bubbles as possible against a clock and as you pop … Read more
I think the community is split into two groups – those of you that are running cooked ROMs and those of you that want to:) I recently joined the rank of flashers and I’m absolutely kicking myself for waiting so long since the benefits are so high. There’s speed, stability a more personalized feel to … Read more
XDA member dikkyboy has released a flash based arcade version of Yahtzee called Yarboo. Just take a look at the pic to see what it looks like. Since it’s flash it resizes to VGA and just gives you slight bars on the side that do not impact game play. Now I think it works well … Read more
Now that we lost Iris I appreciate Skyfire even more:) Directly from their blog removing the Symbian stuff you don’t care about:)): We are excited about our Skyfire 1.1 version. This release focuses on performance improvements for both platforms and specific improvements related to Symbian scrolling and zooming. In addition, we’ve improved the reconnect experience … Read more
I’ll let their website speak for itself: If you go to the website now the download links for Iris have been removed. So if you want to get some Webkit love you need to start looking for Dorothy to come through. I liked Iris (good use of the past tense, right?). And if you have … Read more
There are so many cooked ROMs out there it’s hard to tell how far Microsoft has come with 6.5. With that in mind, Herg put together a naked ROM for me – one that lacks HTC and other enhancements. This way you can get a sense as to what MS has done and what they … Read more
If you’re an old man like me you probably remember those handheld lcd games you used to buy for a few dollars that were minigames (yes, before PSP existed:)) Well Herm has brought one of them back from the past. The game is simple – you have four onscreen buttons to press (see, no D-Pad, … Read more
NVidia’s Tegra chip is responsible for the obscenely smooth performance of the ZuneHD. They got it right. Not only did they provide a fast chip but they optimized it (you know, fancy things like drivers). From their press release we get a good sense as to why the processor is so powerful. Key to Tegra’s … Read more
Oldsap’s SpeakerPhone – Auto On has just been updated and I’ve tested it on my Fuze running 6.5 and it appears to work as expected. The application lets you set your phone to automatically turn on the speakerphone when you answer a phone call. This is very useful when driving if you lack a proper … Read more
