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.

Microsoft promises robust USB 3.0 support in Windows 8 and shows off USB 3.0 demo
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftWindows 8
We all know that support for USB 3.0 on Windows computers today isn’t nearly as wide spread as most of us would like. The main reason for this is that there is still no chipsets with USB 3.0 controllers onboard. The maker of the mainboard has to use a third party chipset to enable USB 3.0 support. Microsoft is now promising that Windows 8 will have robust USB 3.0 support.

HTC Windows Phone Mango devices landing September 1
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMicrosoftWindows Phone 7.5
HTC is hitting London next week to show off future devices and Windows Phone will be top of the agenda, according to BGR. It claims to have heard from a little birdie within HTC headquarters that two Windows Phone Mango devices will make their debut on September 1.
Sadly there’s not a lot of new details to feast on. The source simply says the HTC Eternity (which was leaked last month) will have a 3.7in screen while the HTC Omega (which also popped up in July) will sport a 4.5in display.

A thousand webOS developers flocking to Windows Phone 7

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.

Vertu phones with Windows Phone 7 coming
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftVertuWindows Phone 7
It probably goes without saying and is not really unexpected, but it is still nice to have Eldar ‘confirm’ Nokia Vertu handsets running Windows Phone 7 are coming.
Vertu handsets tend to be covered in gold and jewels, but still run the creaky Symbian OS inside.
Would any of out readers be tempted to splash out on a Vertu if it ran our favourite OS, or would it still be too tasteless. Let us know below.

Microsoft patent application points to fast-booting streaming OS
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoft
While Microsoft is busy readying the much talked about Windows 8 for release, a new patent application has popped up that could reveal even bigger -- or at least faster -- things to come. According to the filing for "Fast Machine Booting Through Streaming Storage," which was submitted in February of last year and released last week, Redmond is looking at creating a system that could stream an entire OS to just about anything with a screen. The proposed setup would enlist a series of storage devices, both remote and local, to act as a virtual hard disk, allowing anything from a set top box to a tablet to boot almost instantaneously. We don't know about you, but we've already started a list of...
