Congratulations to developer Scott Peterson, as the i’m a wp7 app passed the 100,000 user mark sometime this morning. I know that for iPhone and Android users, news like this is meh, but for us WP folks, this is one more indicator that the platform is moving forward.

Figuring that tomorrow is National 4S Day, decided to squeeze this one in tonight. It’s not that difficult to create custom ringtones for your Windows Phone, but for those lacking the skills, software or DRM free music there is easyRing.

The latest news stories, sports scores, weather and photos you’ve come to expect from USA TODAY are now available for your Windows Phone. Staying informed on the go has never been … Read more
A pet peeve of mine, going back to my Pocket PC days, has been the inability to reliably backup/sync input from a mobile device. Anyone who spent time with ActiveSuck over the years knows the frustration of channels sometimes not syncing or folders/files being overwritten or ignored.
