Another Screen Test N8 vs Omnia HD vs Milestone

by

People just love to compare screens don’t they? Here’s one of a normal AMOLED(Nokia N8) pitted against a SuperAMOLED(Samsung Omnia HD) and a standard LCD(Motorola Milestone).  The LCD clearly has the worse viewing angles of the three.  You can make up your own minds about which is ultimately the best.  However I think comparing SuperAMOLED … Read more

Arcane’s Tower Defense For WP7

by

Nice looking XNA game for WP7.  The demo is a bit unclear though.  I can’t tell if the perspective changes are in-game or just editor functionality.  If the former, that would be awesome!!!  The artwork is a bit different too, kinda cartoonish.  Supposed to include both single-player and multi-player modes.  I wonder how they are … Read more

My slow dance with Blackberry

by

Now, before I get into this, let me make it clear to all. I am no stranger to Blackberries, if anyone should understand their abilities and limitations it would be me. I have used and supported these devices from the very first one in existence. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the pic below, I was able to find almost all blackberries in existence lying around the office. For the most part I have done so in a corporate environment, as it turns out; this plays a huge part in my experience I’ll be talking about here today.

iPhone Destroyer – The Windows Phone 7 Game

by

OK this game isn’t going to prove why the iPhone will be killed by WP7 but you do get to kill iPhones and that’s worth something: It’s a game that appeared on FaceBook by Developpeurs and we’re sharing here to get them some more exposure. I like the premise:) via Charlie Kindel

New York Times App Confirmed For WP7

by

If you show your phone off on video then expect me to look through each frame: Now it could be that they used the New York Times Silverlight API we mentioned a while back, but it’s good to see there are apps out there that they aren’t (intentionally) showing us.

The Apps Currently In WP7’s Market

by

So Channel 9 showed off the apps that MS has provided (which are really partially intended for developers since the source code is available so they can see how they were done). The video was 20 minutes and filled with witty banter…so I cut that down and now it’s 10 minutes so you can just … Read more

WP7 Lacks HTML5 – NOT NEWS

by

Did you hear that Windows Phone 7 will not have HTML5? Holy no-shit Batman! It’s circulating like it is news but if any of the writers were paying attention they’d know that Internet Explorer in WP7 is based on a mix of IE7 and IE8 (desktop). Which of those browsers supports HTML5? Right – neither. … Read more

I Heart HTC

by

Let me start by saying that the headphones that come with the Nexus One are fantastic. They sound great, plenty of bass, can take a heavy volume beating and not wear out. The sleeve/pouch thingy that comes with the phone, fan of that too, makes me feel like I’m protecting my investment (while cleaning the … Read more

What I’m running/Why I’m upgrading

by

So yeah.  I’m sort of ashamed.  Like that guy on the right.  Not because my Fuze is Windows Mobile, but because everything is so outdated.  The Fuze is more than capable of doing just about everything any newer smart phone can do, short of its own hardware limits but 2.8″ of VGA resolution is making me feel inadequate.  Anyway, enough hardware talk.  You guys know that end.  Let’s get started on the software.  Rom first.

I flash like a drunk whore at Mardi Gras but I really like the WMPoweruser roms for stability.  Energy crashes all the freaking time for me, even with no additional apps.  Ever since they got rid of the VGA test devices the Fuze Roms sort of blow.  Preinstalled apps are great but I’d rather have a clean ROM because I keep all my apps local on my SD card.  Oh and I have 6 different UI’s on my phone as of now.  I had winterface but that sucks nuts.  No one wants an iPhone.  App List and Developer Links after the break!
