Google revamps YouTube for Windows Phone
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftGoogleWindows Phone 7
Yesterday, the mobile version of the YouTube webpage mysteriously disappeared for Windows Phone users, but the confusion didn’t last long and Google is back, and it seems the daily absence has yielded only good results as when you access the webpage now it shows a refreshed and cleaner user interface. Why should you care for it? Well, the YouTube app in Windows Phone is nothing but a redirect to the mobile version of the website and when you tap on a video you are taken to the media player.
So now, you have virtually all the options of the desktop version of the website in a nice, touch-enabled redesign, so you can like, dislike, comment and find releated videos quickly. Nothing has changed ...

Will Windows Phone Apps Run On Windows 8?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftWindows Phone 7Windows 8
When you look at the combined 70 percent smartphone market share of Android and Apple in the U.S. compared to Microsoft’s measly and shrinking 6 percent, it seems like it’s game over before it really began for Windows Phone. Windows Phone is a decent mobile OS, even promising, but so far it has failed to capture the hearts and minds of developers or consumers. Can Microsoft do anything to change that and will it involve tying Windows Phone more tightly to its next desktop operating system, Windows 8?

Microsoft plans to bring back "Find on Page" feature in IE9, but it might come much later
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftWindows Phone 7
For any Windows Phone 7 user out there, it might not be something used on a consistent basis, but the “Find on Page” feature with IE8 is nevertheless something handy to have on. However, it seems that Microsoft decided to remove this feature entirely with IE9 in Windows Phone Mango.
Fortunately, Microsoft has heard the complaints from numerous people and plans to bring back the feature sometime down the road. Well, the good news is that IE9 is capable of being upgraded independently of the operating system – meaning, it can potentially be brought back with some sort of update. However, it’s also possible that they will simply hold off from doing that, and instead, bring it back with the arri...

Microsoft tops 30,000 apps for Windows Phone
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftWindows Phone 7
Microsoft's Windows Phone platform may not be the near the top when it comes to market share, but it is getting there when it comes to the number of apps available in its Windows Phone Marketplace.
The latest numbers from the Windows Phone AppList, a website that catalogs the number of app in the Marketplace, show there to be just over 30,000 apps available. Microsoft reached this number a mere 10 months since the Marketplace debuted. Additionally, there are now over 8,000 registered developers for the Windows Phone platform.
While these numbers pale in comparison to the hundreds of thousands of apps available for Apple's iOS and Google's Android platforms, when compared with other smartphon...

DFT and Orange Team together create HTC HD2 ROM which can be updated normally by Microsoft
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMicrosoftHTCHD2HD2 USWindows Phone 7
The Dark Forces Team and Orange Team have combined their forces and achieved the seemingly impossible – they have created a ROM for the HTC HD2 which can be updated normally like any other Windows Phone 7 handset over the Zune desktop client.
Beyond this the ROM also retains Root and ChevronWP7 status, meaning users are both free to edit the registry and side-load applications.
Lastly the ROM also allows custom packages to be side-loaded via Zune, making for the ultimate custom ROM machine.

Windows Phone Reaches 30,000 Apps, Opens Marketplace to Mango Submissions
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftWindows Phone 7Windows Phone 7.5
There are now 30,000 mobile applications available for Windows Phone, Microsoft’s newest mobile operating system. That’s a huge jump from the 11,500 apps Microsoft reported back in March, but still far short of industry leaders, iOS and Android. For comparison purposes, there are 425,000 iOS apps and over 250,000 on Android, at least according to the latest official reports. But 30K apps isn’t bad for an operating system that’s not even a year old yet, we’d argue.

I don’t know how many developers webOS claimed, but that number is likely at least 1000 smaller, with more than 1000 webOS developers responding to Brandon Watson’s call for them to take up Windows Phone 7 development following HP’s assassination of webOS.
The call had been widely covered in the media, and is even pulling in developers from other platforms, including Android and Symbian.

All eyes will surely be placed on HTC just one day before IFA is expected to commence over in Germany, and of course, the big name speculated to arrive at HTC’s various events being held on September 1st throughout Europe is none other than the HTC Puccini. However, we may very well see some new Windows Phone 7 handsets from them as well.
