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.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftWindows Phone 7.5
When Microsoft unveiled the SGH-i937 Mango Windows Phone 7 handset last month, we noticed what appeared to be a front facing camera perched atop the Galaxy S II-like device. Now, the company has confirmed that forthcoming Mango flavored phones will indeed feature face-gazing shooters, along with Skype integration. The confirmation came at Redmond's TechEd event in New Zealand, where two employees also revealed that Microsoft's Lync VoIP client will soon expand to other platforms, including iOS, Android and Symbian. As for that Skype integration, the reps assured the audience that it's coming soon, though it remains unclear whether it'll come in the form of an app, or a subsequent update.

Microsoft improves file management in Windows 8
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftWindows 8
The team behind Microsoft's next-gen operating system has issued a new update on the Building Windows 8 blog, this time detailing a few improvements to things like copying, moving, renaming and deleting files. While that's hardly something to get excited about, the software giant says these four basic functions account for 50% of all Windows Explorer usage in Windows 7, and thus they want to make sure that it is a great experience.
Microsoft had three goals in mind: creating one unified experience for managing and monitoring copy operations, removing any distractions so users only see key information, and putting people in control of their copy operations.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftWindows Phone 7.5
WPCentral has been tipped to the presence of an official Internet Sharing option on the Samsung Focus running WP7 Mango.
The option is presumably available with carrier approval, and will therefore probably require extra payment to enable. It appears to support up to 5 clients.
It seems Mango still has a few surprises for us after all.

Microsoft has announced the Touch Mouse Artist Edition. The designer mouse, white with an intricate, calligraphy-like etched motif, was created for Microsoft by typographical artist Deanne Cheuk. The mouse uses Microsoft's BlueTrack blue-laser technology which the company claims tracks more accurately over more surface conditions than a traditional laser mouse.
The mouse, intended primarily for Windows 7, is equipped with a self-storing nano transceiver that uses RF wireless to save on battery life. It will carry a price of $80. Microsoft has not announced when it will become available other than "soon."

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.
