Developers might usually have a hard time working out how to get their apps out on to the marketplace and in most cases wouldn’t have the time to worry about the simple things like icons used in the apps. But thankfully there are a lot of designers who put out various icon packs both
free and
paid that would allow these developers to concentrate more on the functionality in their apps over the design of the icons used. Today we came across over 100 Windows Phone Icons by
Austin Andrews that are released under Creative Commons License and this pack includes everything from a simple Home icon to
Nyan Cat

If you like it or use it in your app you could donate to the designer from his website. If you have some other resource developers could use in their apps drop us a comment below.

With the help of Bing Translator, we have discovered the Toshiba Windows Phone we reported back in July will be on sale in September, confirmed by the KDDI website.
As reported earlier, the Toshiba IS12T will be running Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) with a 3.7” LCD screen, 13.2 MP camera and will be waterproof. The IS12T is a global phone so we are hoping Toshiba will release this phone to a worldwide audience. For myself, I would not mind carrying a waterproof phone in my pocket for those “really” situations. ;)
Do our readers want this phone in your country? Let us know below.
