Microsoft’s Mobile Communications Business Director Aaron Woodman, when asked by CNET if people with phones running WM6.5 would be able to upgrade to Windows Phone 7 without buying a new device, said no: “I don’t know if any Windows Mobile 6.5 Device today meets those specifications.” He went on to discuss new hardware plans which … Read more
I’m telling you, this thing is not just a gimmick to screw around with while you’re on the can (though it’s great for that too). Last weekend my ol’ lady and I were stranded in downtown Dallas because American Airlines sucks so remarkably at getting people to and from Santa Fe for their romantic getaway. … Read more

The other day I was looking for a free yet decent GTalk client. Found something on Google and though the project’s homepage TLD was .ru I installed it anyway, banged in my gmail account and password, signed on, didn’t have anyone to GTalk with, signed off and uninstalled the software. The next morning I couldn’t log into my Gmail account; apparently the password had been changed.
I’m not going to identify the software’s name or developer in this article because that’s just not enough evidence to go ahead and accuse someone of this sort of crime on a blog and there are many other possible explanations to account for this. But because this had never happened to me before, because I had a strong Gmail password that I don’t use on anything else, because my computer appeared to be clean and because of the timing of the two events and that .ru TLD, it has spooked me into addressing an issue of vulnerability to which Windows Mobile users are especially vulnerable. Again, I’m not saying it was necessarily the Russians. Could have been the Chinese.
In an effort to escape my abyss of obscurity in the mobile software market, if I were Microsoft, to distance myself from my embarrassing mobile past I would commit at least a thousand developers to perfecting the next release (including one or two who are actually on the payroll and not some random ugly website … Read more

Wow Yozgatg has done some fancy work in the past but this has to lead to infamy. What is it? I wanted to have an app so we could easily boot into both WM & Android, and Gen.Y DualBOOT was the solution. This release is made for VGA devices, and supports both booting from Internal … Read more
