WP Bench spoof is being investigated by developer
Yesterday I told you about WP Bench being spoofed, Today I received a responce to my ‘Red Alert’ and the developer Robert Varga had this to say about the issue I raised…
I’ve contacted Microsoft if there’s any possibility to check whether device is locked or not (that’s the only info I could use for “trust/or not” decision during writing the data to database).
But, you know, Tango is coming and it could again bring some more security
We’ll see! :-)
Thank you very much for red alert, I’ve deleted the junk. Hopefuly Microsoft will provide me some idea about my question I’ve mentioned on top.
(edited to remove comments that may identify the vulnerbility)

Windows Phone is now well over a year old and the number of apps keeps on rising, which got me thinking….
I want some feedback from you guys about this, so go and leave a comment letting me know what your thoughts are.
Now there are so many apps, do you still use the marketplace much? I’ve found I don’t even bother looking in the marketplace app or through Zune because they are only small windows into the many many apps out there. I uploaded a game called TouchMeQuick very soon after the marketplace opened, but I wonder if anyone would ever come across it now without specifically searching for it. There are app discovery apps, such as the fantastic AppFlow, but I still think there needs to be a better way.
Having so many apps in the marketplace causes problems for both users and developers, because so many apps are just lost amongst the crowd.
So, my questions to you are:
Do you still use the marketplace on a regular basis?
How do you think Microsoft could make it easier to browse apps?

Nokia have announced in their Q4 2011 quarterly reports, that they have sold over 1 million Windows Phones but have unfortunately made a net loss of $1.4 billion on gross revenue of $13 billion, Nokia are still looking towards the future.
The Finns have only been selling Windows Phones for two months, which begs the question how many handsets are sitting on shelves in stock rooms and how many of those handsets are actually in customers hands…

WP Bench stats prove unreliable
As you can see by the image, WP Bench stats are NOT to be relied upon. You can clearly see the Manufacturer of the device and model name of the device has been adjusted by me, then sent to WP Bench.
I WILL NOT tell you how I managed this, I will talk directly to the developer to inform them of the vulnerability which I hope they are able to act upon and fix by way of update.
Lockscreens
Today I have some typography and minimalist wallpapers for you – special made it for 1800PocketPC and Windows Phone – to complete the entire style. I hope so you will liked.
