  • WP7′s Pre-Nodo Update Fails Yet Again

    Looks like WP7 hates Samsung Phones. Microsoft was suppose to roll out it’s Nodo update this March which would have added useful features like copy/pasting and other performance based enhancements. To allow for the bigger updates WP7 users have to install a pre-update which went seamlessly with some but ended up in bricking many Samsung Phones. The lucky ones who’s phones didn’t bricked simply ended up with a failed update. A week later they released an other update specially for Samsung users which was later found out to be broken too. Microsoft claims that only a 100 users have been affected but we found many more complaining on various tech forums all over the internet. We recommend you let all this drama unfold and wait for the proven proper version.

  • Brandon Foy, Creator Of Awesome Unofficial WP7 Ads Gets Hired By Microsoft

    You guys remember Brandon Foy right? Well for those who don’t he made some awesome ads for Windows Phone 7 a few months ago and received critical acclaim with some people even claiming them to be better than the ones by Microsoft themselves and we wholeheartedly agree.

    Microsoft even promised to air another video of his if it hit 200,000 views on YouTube. So today the news is that he got hired my Microsoft as a UX Director and today was his first day at work. Great to see big companies like Microsoft appreaciating the talent and letting it prosper. We can also expect much better Windows Phone ads since Brandon is in charge, so good luck mate!

  • Windows Phone 7 Mango Blows All Other Phones Out Of The Water In HTML5 Browser Tests

    Ever since Microsoft announced Mango for their Windows Phone 7 platform they have been focusing on the OS’s exceptional HTML5 performance leaving behind the likes of Android, iOS and BlackBerry OS.

    So Microsoft gave us another demo at the Worldwide Partners Conference (WPC) earlier this week where an HTC Mango handset went against the Samsung Droid Charge, BlackBerry Torch and an iPhone 4 with the latest iOS 5 BETA 3. The demo on display was called ‘Fish’ where 3D fishes were being rendered onto an ocean background.

    As you could see in the video the Charge managed to pull 20fps, the Torch did 9fps, iPhone 4 managed to do around 15fps while the HTC managed a blazing fast 50fps! Now that’s what you call owning the crowd.
