We’ve heard the term 3 Screens and The Cloud from Microsoft for a while but an announcement from the other day is starting to finally paint a cohesive picture of where this is headed. To recap where things stand, 60% of PC’s have Silverlight loaded on them (including Macs) and WP7 is highly Silverlight dependant … Read more
So the other day the new iPhone SDK came out and it states that any app has to be written in native code and cannot be made using non-native code. This is really an attempt at stopping people from using engines which make it easier on people to make apps but it’s pretty clear that Apples real motivation was a direct attack on Adobe who is set to release Flash Professional CS5 which lets you write a Flash application and package it for the iPhone. Why did Apple do this? Cause Steve Jobs is a douche bag. But that’s just me speaking. On Adobe’s Blog there’s a new posting that was originally from an official spokesperson and then was reworded to make it clear that it was unofficial. Anything notable? “Speaking purely for myself, I would look to make it clear what is going through my mind at the moment. Go screw yourself Apple.” Anyway, commenting was turned off on the Adobe blog, but not here:) So here’s the complete blog posting and of course, comments are open so go to town.
If only my T-Mobile HTC HD2 had AT&T 3G bands I would be dancing like this too! Check it: Having absolutely no dancing ability what so ever, I cannot begin to understand the complexity in choreographing something like this would take. I was waiting the whole video for my boy with 10 inch afro to … Read more
–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile) and Sprint
WHAT:
Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile) and Sprint (NYSE: S) collaborate to break the Guinness World Records® mark to collect the largest donation of mobile phones in one location April 15-18 at the Samsung Mobile 500 at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, TX. The joint effort is part of Samsung Mobile’s March to a Million program to collect and recycle one million mobile phones by the end of the year and Sprint’s Recycle for Victory recycling program. Samsung Mobile accepts ALL types of mobile phones to be recycled.
Recycle for Victory reduces the number of used wireless devices that end up in landfills by accepting wireless phones, batteries and accessories, and data cards regardless of make, model, carrier or condition for reuse and recycling. Sprint donates the net proceeds to Victory Junction – a NASCAR-themed, sleep-away camping experience that enriches the lives of children with chronic medical conditions or serious illnesses by allowing them to perform activities they would otherwise not be able to do.
Every NASCAR fan that donates an old mobile phone during the Samsung Mobile 500 race weekend will receive a limited edition 3D Samsung Mobile 500 pin, and, if donated before Sunday, be entered to win the following incredible prizes*:
• Be the Honorary Grand Marshall and Announce “Gentleman Start Your Engines”
• Ride in the official TMS Samsung Mobile 500 Pace Car
• Get exclusive view of 2010 Samsung Mobile 500 winner with a visit to Victory Lane
Winners will be announced live on Sunday, April 18 at the Speed Channel Stage at Gate 3 prior to the start of the Samsung Mobile 500. NASCAR fans that bring more than one mobile phone to be recycled can increase their odds of winning one of these extraordinary prizes. NASCAR fans who don’t have a mobile phone to recycle can spin-to-win fun prizes and receive a pre-paid postage mobile phone recycling envelope to mail-in old mobile phones to be recycled.
I’ve never had a phone with even close to this level of interference. If I get an email on my phone my computer speakers go nuts. With my Fuze I used to keep it on my desk about a foot away from my speakers- I never had any interference. With my HD2 I have to … Read more
Looks like the Android market got over 9,000 apps last month alone. That’s more apps in one month than Windows Marketplace has in total…I’m taking notes here. Not switching OSes but I see what you’re doing:)
So iPhone OS 4.0 was released today…yup still generations behind WP which is up to 7 (yes, I joke). With it comes things like multitasking, ability to set your own background and some other gap fillers that make up for what it’s been missing for years. Engadget put together a great tale of the tape comparing WP7 and iP4 and they did an incredible job…one that no one should undertake unless they’re writing a blog:) And I don’t want to detract from their work but I want to highlight a few points that are applicable to WP7 that I think are worth noting since they aren’t as pronounced in the chart as I think they are in reality. But also one important note – WM6.5.3 was included and look at which column has the most ‘green’. It’s WM 6.5.3 which is clearly the best OS ever!:)
So it’s Thursday.. blah.. I’ve got a lot of news for you today from all over the world.
I can’t believe it was 85F yesterday and they’re saying it could possibly snow here tomorrow.. some wild weather we got here..
Anyway, check out the news:
Am I the only one that feels that AT&T is doing us dirty? I mean, anyone looking at the headlines lately knows where the network is headed – except AT&T. It’s not news that AT&T has some serious infrastructure issues related to 3G access but that hasn’t led them to slow down at all. Instead, they’ve put their foot on the pedal and have decided to give away more bandwidth for less money.
Here’s what’s planned for AT&T in the coming months:
This is for Android, BlackBerry and iPhone only- not WM (I know – it hurts). If you’re into baseball this seems like a great app though. The Blackberry app has the following description: – Listen LIVE to every regular season and Postseason game – Follow every pitch with exclusive MLB.com Gameday pitch speed and location … Read more
Zuma has been completely rebuilt and the new version is now available. If you’ve never played it, you have to shoot colored bubbles to make combos of three of the same color to break the chain coming at you before it reaches you. It’s a great mix of action and logic that’s highly addictive. Well … Read more
