Another Beautiful Panoramic BART Windows Phone 7 App

by

Maybe I’m a sucker for the panoramic controls of WP7 but just take a look at this. Again, you have a great but subtle background, ease to get a lot of information about BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit), map integration and aside from being functional it’s visually stunning. It should be noted that the app … Read more

Need Help Sleeping? Try Counting Sheep

by

Interesting idea from XDA. A game that’s so boring it helps you sleep:) As the dev states “This Counting Sheep is a exercise, where you have to drag identical white sheep over the bridge (while they are doing backflips). The idea, presumably, is to induce boredom while occupying the mind with something simple, repetitive, and … Read more

Droplets Now Free On WM Marketplace

by

Droplets is a logic game for WM but really excels aesthetically while being a great challenge. You need to slide the bubbles into the other bubbles so that there’s only one left but with each hit you have to hit a bubble (you can’t just move them). It’s a nice game of skill that keeps … Read more

Skyfire Stops Development On Proxy Version 1.x

by

pc_capture19 Skyfire mobile browser users outside of North America will not be happy as they have just announced that they will be phasing out version 1.x: “Skyfire 1.X will no longer be supported outside of North America and Western Europe effective July 1st, 2010.” Worse is that all future development of the Proxy based browser version 1.5 will also be stopped as Skyfire is full speed ahead on the development of Skyfire 2.0 which is: “the first “hybrid browser” in the world, combining the best of native webkit rendering with the best of cloud web services, including our famed rich media engine, mash-ups, and more.” Skyfire has enjoyed a lot of success as of late with adding 600,000 users in the first few weeks of releasing their browser for Android users. Now, Skyfire will concentrate development on version 2.0 for the iOS platform iPhone and getting it into the App Store. After that they will focus on Android and Windows Phone devices.

Skyfire has also been attracting a lot of attention from “a number of major wireless operators and handset vendors about embedding Skyfire 2.0 into their default browsers, out of the box.” So with that kind of attention it is easy to see where their focus is going to be.

T-mobile Sucks! Never Get Tmobile!!

by

In the past, I have always stood behind T-mobile and recommend tmobile to other people as a great company with great service but that is all going to change starting today.  I have been a tmobile business customer for about 5 years now (2 years before then left and came back and now I am on my 3rd year of a new contract). Anyways, when T mobile first introduced the touch pro 2 I upgraded my service right away. They very first day that the touch pro 2 came out I upgraded my line of service because I love windows mobile phones and this was the best phone at that time (I have two more lines and they did not upgrade because they are happy with their unlocked iPhones). So, I used my touch pro 2 for about 6 months or so and then started having problems with the device. I called tmobile and they sent me refurbished device as my replacement.

I got the replacement phone and it worked great for about 2 months and then that device started having problems too. So, I called tmobile again and got another refurbished device again as a replacement. As soon as I got the device I noticed there was something wrong with the hinges and the screen would not close properly as the hinges seemed too tight or something and I did not want to take any chance with having the hinges snap off and my warranty being void so I called tmobile again and this was withing 30 minutes of getting my 2nd replacement device. So they said ok they will ship me another one, my 3rd replacement device.

Details after the break.

Got a fresh anecdote for you. It involves AT&T and failure. Ready? All right so I found myself in midtown Manhattan today around 4pm needing to make a call real bad, a call that had dropped a half hour earlier, as it was business-related, you dig? I had a full array of bars yet there … Read more
