Bing for QVGA Windows Mobile devices given the boot

by Saijo George on September 6, 2010

in News

Microsoft has always stated that it will continue to support Windows Mobile as long as there is interest in the platform, but this move certainly states otherwise. Now WMPU via Phonenews is reporting that they have given up on Bing for QVGA Windows Mobile devices. I am not sure if QVGA devices are widely used these days but there will be users who still use these. We expect this move is to focus on Bing for Windows Phone 7.

Users trying to install the latest version on their QVGA devices will be met by a suggestion to use use m.bing.com, saying “Sorry, the resolution on this device is not supported, please visit http://m.bing.com for the best search experience.”. Are you a QVGA user , do you see this message when you try to install Bing ?

Windows Mobile ROM cooking


Back in days when Windows Mobile was the Mobile OS of choice every one ( at least Windows Mobile Power users ) wanted to learn the art of cooking .. ROM cooking that is, good chefs are the top blokes in the xda-dev community that all of us love. I started off with the Black ROM series from Jasjamming and now run with Energy ROM by NRGZ28 on the Touch Diamond. I haven’t looking at flashing for a while now and am sure there are new players in the field and all of you will have your own favorite Chef and series of ROMS.

Now Windows Mobile will always have the hardcore fans and if you are one such guy and would love to take it to the next level the good folks from Techparaiso.com have put together a bunch of tutorials that will help you along the way to becoming a chef. You can check out the Tutorials on their website ( Twitter : @techparaiso ) or check out the xda-dev thread that lists out the various tutorial.

Its not my cup of tea but if you fancy ROM cooking , this might be for you. What do our readers think about ROM cooking for Windows Mobile ?

Windows Phone 7 Pocket to Picture on your HD2

Pocket to Picture is a handy feature on WP7 devices. You can click on the camera button to take photos even if you’ve locked your phone. There’s no need to unlock the device, enter the passcode, or launching the camera app. If the device is in your pocket / purse the feature is disabled. Check this WP7 Camera features Video to learn more. Now thanks to the effort of MilaCzeque from xda-dev, HD2 users can enjoy this feature :)

This little application starts phone’s camera when user press home button when the phone is locked. ( Only works with original non-customized lockscreen ). It is aware of proximity sensor status, so it won’t start camera in your pocket. Your HD2 has to be locked for this app to work. If the HTC HD2 display is switched off and your device is locked you have to click the Home button twice.
