Early in 2012 Microsoft broke many hearts when they announced that current Windows Phone 7 users would not be able to upgrade to the new hotness, Windows Phone 8. As a consolation prize, the Windows Phone faithful would get an update, version 7.8, that would bring some of Windows Phone 8’s features like the new …
In our never-ending quest to find the perfect cloud storage solution, Microsoft’s SkyDrive is officially a desktop app for Windows and Mac. The free app went live this morning and will provide a native desktop interface for those files you have to access everywhere, for a price. Yes, I said it’s a free app, but …
When Nokia previously announced that WiFi tethering was coming to their Lumia 610, a very entry-level handset for the Asian market, it was baffling that the higher-end handsets (namely the Lumia 800 and Lumia 710) would not be getting the update with Mango (Windows Phone 7.5). After all, Microsoft made WiFi tethering a big part of the …

The Windows Phone ecosystem is getting bigger. They’ve recently surpassed 50k applications available for download. But that’s not all. In 2011, the average WP7 users downloaded 48 apps, out-ranking Android (30) yet below iOS (83). I do believe, however, that this has a lot to do with Google services being built in to Android. Also, …

I’ve been known to go on a few rants about Windows Phone. Not the actual Operating System, but the people who are behind it. Almost a year ago, Nokia joined hands with Microsoft to fix their lack of a smartphone OS and Microsoft’s lack of notable hardware. Since then we’ve seen one US phone released, …

Well it’s officially official. Nokia has just outed the Lumia 710 which will be coming to T-Mobile, it’s news so big it couldn’t wait for tonight’s joint event with T-Mobile.

Microsoft uses SkyDrive heavily in WP7. It’s integrated into the way you take and upload pictures, the way you send them and view them on your device, and your MS Office Documents as well. But it’s never really acted as a file system or drive the way many of us think it should. That’s all …
Spotify, the service that recently came to the US, then annoyed Eric, is now available for Windows Phone. How does it look? Excellent. The app developers over at Spotify have done an excellent job of making the app look like it belongs in the WP7 ecosystem. That’s probably because Microsoft helped them develop this beauty. …
Windows Phone 7 hasn’t had an easy time edging its way into the smartphone market. They had a bit of a tail start on Android and iOS, and didn’t have the full tool-belt of functions that either of the others had. The 7.5 “Mango” update aims to fix that, and bring the early adopters up …

Today at Nokia’s annual Nokia World conference we finally got an official look at the first babies to come out of the Redmondpoo marriage. The Lumia line is made up of sweet, sexy, candy-like phones that run Windows Phone 7. It is worth noting that Lumia is Spanish for “prostitute,” something else that is often …
Hey, heathens! It’s a great day to beatbox, don’t you think? On to the roundup! Scientists are trying to end us all. No, for serious. Stop building robots that can build other robots. It’s a little loopy and none too safe. Cameras might be in for a big change, and soon. A camera that doesn’t …

Happy iPhone 4S day, you guys! In case you missed the news, Apple revolutionized everything again. The iPhone 4S is real (in case you were wondering if your dreams would ever come true), and it’s good. In fact, I’ll even go so far as to say that it’s one of the best phones on the …
