by

So as expected the WP7 theme for ThrottleLauncher has been released in beta and is available here from 1800PocketPC. I have tested it out on my Fuze and it’s very smooth.

PocketRunner – Exercise Your Fingers

by

From Bbonzz comes another classic. This one is called PocketRunner.  You need to run as fast as you can using your fingers. The track moves with you in real time (and graphically it’s smooth as butter).  And because of the engine used to create the game, you don’t have to worry about lifting one finger … Read more

Panoramic Navigation on WP7

by

The UI for WP7 isn’t actually written in Silverlight (even though devs will be using Silverlight for their apps). So when it comes to panoramic applications, developers still have some work to do on their own and MS has yet to provide a template. Aimee Gurl has demonstrated a way to create a panoramic application … Read more

The WP7 Ringtones and Wallpapers

by

Since releasing the WP7 emulator the packages have been slowly taken apart. The wallpapers and the tones have been separately extracted. As expected, the wallpapers are in 480×800 and the ringtones are in wma format. There are 6 wallpapers and 23 sounds (not all are ringtones).

Hands On: Casio G’zOne Brigade

by

So Fedex dropped off a new phone to me yesterday and I figured I’d share it with you guys.. sort of a pictorial unboxing as it were.

Doug says this phone is ugly but I kinda like it. I’m partial to rugged stuff, I’m hard on my gadgets and I always make sure they’re protected with skins, screen protectors and cases. With the cost of phone today, personally I think all phones should be rugged, waterproof and shock proof.

Here’s a snip from the PR:

“The CASIO G’zOne Brigade is available today online at www.verizonwireless.com and in Verizon Wireless Communications Stores for $249.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate with a new two-year customer agreement. Customers will receive the rebate in the form of a debit card; upon receipt, customers may use the card as cash anywhere debit cards are accepted.”

The New WM Keyboard

by

I just installed NRGZ latest and greatest and with it came a new onscreen keyboard. This is the stock MS keyboard (not HTC’s). We’ve seen pics of it in the past but I hadn’t seen it implemented in a ROM. It’s pretty WP7 looking but it’s far less advanced. It doesn’t smart detect text entries … Read more
