Marketplace Will Come To 6.1 In November
There’s been some speculation on when Marketplace will come to older phones (namely anything running 6.1 and 6.0). Today Microsoft tried to clear up the issue and provided some other tidbits:
As we’ve been discussing since July, our plan is to deliver the full Marketplace experience in two phases. First, we’ll launch Windows Marketplace for Mobile [...]
Stop Those Accidental Call Pickups and Rejections
I’m not actually writing this post. Rather, I am channeling our very own DavidK who is too darned busy trying to earn a meager wage as a New York City attorney (don’t hold that against him; he’s one of the good guys) to post this app. So, as I can earn my meager wage [...]
iPhone Today Very Cool Mod
Despite all the grief I get from WM cult members, I have been using iPhone Today on my Fuze for some months now. It’s a basic app launcher that you can load all of your favorites into and simply swipe (rather than the cumbersome WM press folder, back, etc.) to get the one you [...]

Joseph Earl (who previously brought us the game Bubbles) has now released another app. This time it’s a unit converter so you can convert various units (whether it be angles, area, computer, currency, density, energy, force, fuel, luminance, length, power, pressure, speed, temperature, time, typography, volume (wet or dry) and weight). As with Bubbles, this [...]
Galatea Game Engine Previewed
Galatea is a new engine for creating 3D games in the WM platform. Its developers have now provided us with some new samples to test (that should work for all screen resolutions). They’re impressive to say the least. The frame rates are amazing (possibly 40fps) and it’s smooth as silk. This has a ton [...]
What’s Behind That Build?
People watching the leaked WM builds that have noticed that the numbers vary wildly and sometimes a newer build comes with a lower number. Herg stumbled upon the answer on XDA and this explains the build numbers:
212xx = AKU1, all builds leading up to and including WM 6.5 213xx = MOT Motorola [...]
Just a Reminder: MS Has Been Pretty Nice To Us
Remember when we all thought that Microsoft had issued a letter to XDA requesting that 6.5 ROMs be pulled and threatening action? It turned out to be a hoax but while the details were being worked out a lot of people were pretty angry at MS. Well recently Google issued a real letter regarding [...]
