We recently held a small contest with giveaway for Windows Phone 7 Icons and now Billy Barker( the guy who designed these icons) wants to give away 10 more copies !!! Whats in it I hear you ask .. He tells us that there are 350 Icons for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone 7 and there are said to be perfectly sized to fit iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch), Android, and Windows Phone 7 devices.
Well its time for another giveaway this time we have 10 Smartphone Coasters they are Stainless Steel Phone Stand supports Portrait / Landscape. All thanks to the folks from newpcgadgets.com. The idea is very simple and that’s the beauty of it, its simple but it can be quite useful. Its like one of those things when you see it you think , now why didn’t I think of that. The best way to use it would be to have one at you desk at the office and leave one at home. So for all you non HD7 owners ( that has got a kickstand built in , so there is no real need for this ) you have something similar minus the portability. Each unit goes for about $3.99. They have also announced a new holiday gift pack of 6 Coasters for $22.95.
Anyways this is what they have to say about their product :
This sleek and attractive stainless steel stand compliments any setting to provide an easily accessible base for your phone. The Smartphone Coaster holds most cell phones and Smartphone’s; including your new Windows Phone 7 devices. The Smartphone Coaster is perfect for home, businsess or anywhere people gather with their phones.
Now instead of just laying your phone down on the table, or keeping it in your pocket, you can stand it up at an easy to view 60 degree angle. Parents can use the Smartphone Coaster to entertain their children with games or movies; professionals attending a business lunch or dinner will love the ability to view text messages and incoming calls faster. Anyone with a phone can benefit from this product.
Now you can provide your friends, guests or customers with the ultimate convenience stand for their Smartphones.
Icons are an integral part of an app on Windows Phone 7. Most of the time developers will be busy optimizing the app and at times a lot of effort does not go in the design of icons, so wouldn’t it be nice if they can just use a bunch of ready to use professional looking icons for theirs apps ? Billy Barker is offering such a service .
Billy is offering 350 Icons for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone 7 and there are said to be perfectly sized to fit iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch), Android, and Windows Phone 7 devices.
Windows Phone 7 Application Icons come in a standard 48px size and only come in white.
iOS Toolbar Icons work on both standard and high resolution devices (2x retina display) and include white, black, and gray color choices.
Android Menu / Tab Bar Icons come in 3 different sizes to fit low, medium, and high resolution screens and include white, black, and gray color choices.
TrueCaller shows you who the caller ( for the ones you don´t have the number stored in your phonebook ) before you answers and works in more than 25 countries! According to the developer it also recognizes incoming calls from abroad! They have a client for all major mobile OS and have packed the app with some great features. In this new version it can even pull up the last facebook update from the contact who is calling you. They will be releasing the app for Windows Phone 7 too but the features included for WP7 are still under wraps.
