Herm Presents: Scramble – An Addictive Word Game
What would a week be without another release from Herm’s Software? His latest release is a neat game called Scramble. It’s reminiscent of Boggle with a lot more options. In normal mode you need to find as many words as you can as fast as you can. The letters can be side-by-side or separated. [...]
ZoomSafer – Software to Drive Safely
ZoomSafer appears to be a pretty slick piece of software. When you get into your car it automatically suppresses most standard notifications to your phone so you won’t be distracted while driving. However, priority contacts can still reach you and there are voice enabled options to let you take the call, listen to texts [...]

Psychology of Technology: Fear of Flashing
No, not that kind of flashing, you pervert. I mean flashing a new ROM onto my Fuze (get your mind out of the gutter).
I remember the first time I heard about this thing called “flashing a ROM” shortly after I bought my Fuze. Just the thought of it made me nervous. It was [...]
Comparing Apples to Apples
If I hear one more person tell me about how beautiful the screen is on the iPhone…let’s get some things straight. Windows phones have a lot sharper screens than the iPhone. Let’s just make a quick comparison:
Phone

Now You See It, Now You Don’t
Herg just turned me on to an awesome little TF3D2 tweak from Fredz over at xda. It’s a retractable Manila Slide Bar that disappears in portrait mode the same way the slide bar disappears in landscape. It just came out last week and the comments on it suggest that is very solid. So this tweak [...]

T-Mobile Confirms TP2 For August 12th and AT&T still out to Lunch With The iPhone
It blows my mind that Windows Mobile Juggernaut AT&T is asleep at the wheel with their release of the Fortress which is better known globally as the HTC Touch Pro II! I have spoken to countless AT&T Sales People who directly blame the launch of the iPhone 3Gs as the reason. I agree that [...]
The WM 6.5 Hype
The more I read about 6.5 the more blah I was feeling about it. A lot of the bloggers seem to be reporting a lukewarm reaction to it and are generally underwhelmed. In our UI poll it garnered a decent 12% which is pretty good considering it’s not even out yet:) So to resolve [...]
Let Your Fingers Do the Walking
Let’s be honest. The standard menu that comes with WM 6.1 is far too small to actually be used by fingers. The enhanced menus found in WM 6.5 are an improvement, but still could be improved.
Well, lucky us. Francesco Carlucci over at xda-developers has created FingerSuite, a highly customizable replacement for the standard WM menus. [...]
