One of the most unique and nice things about Windows Mobile was its capability of full freedom to users and customization. This is something probably a lot of Windows Phone 7 users will be missing. But we are slowly perhaps getting there,the latest Freedom Mango ROM by DFT , which is developer unlocked by default, users can download and install apps directly from the browser.The change log notes:
You need just enter the URL to XAP file and it will download and install it.
Note, the start and the end of installation signaled by sound Beeps, no UI provided yet.
It’s recomended to turn sound before installing it.

The folks over on XDA Developers have been at it again, this time they’ve been showing some love to LG’s WP7 devices.
What they’ve done is extracted the built in apps that LG have made, including:
- ScanSearch - augmented reality app to show you points of interest near you.
- PlayTo - DLNA app for showing photos, music & videos on compatible devices.
- Panorama shot – a neat camera addon which makes taking panorama photos easy.
- Tool Box – contains a whole bunch of tools such as world clock, unit converter & random number.
- VoiceToText - uses voice recognition to create tweets, SMS & memos.
They are available for developers to play around with to discover their secrets, such as the ‘undocumented access to the camera and other functions’.
Im not sure if these will work on devices other than LG phones, but I’m sure theres someone working on that too.
