Those who spent money on a Zune HD which was originally released back in September 2009, may remember the small market for applications that was available on the device. As Windows Phone 7 became the next big thing for Microsoft's portable media efforts, some expected the applications they had become used to on their Zune HD to be readily available on WP7. This was not originally the case, however Microsoft have stated that they are currently working on porting over the company's officially created applications.
While the total amount of applications is too lengthy to list, Microsoft will most likely spend its time porting over several games such as Checkers and Snowball as well as several productivity apps such as Windows Live Messenger, MSN Weather and MSN Money. Several may remember other applications such as Twitter and Facebook, however given that there's already content available on the marketplace to do similar tasks it is unlikely Microsoft will invest the time to port those over.
The news came originally from Dave McLauchlan, who was speaking on behalf of Microsoft on the Zune Insider podcast. Specifically in regard to this news story, he stated "The apps that we have built internally for Zune, we’re actually looking at porting those over to Windows Phone. I can’t tell you when or what the exact dates are. But that’s something we’re definitely looking at".
While the amount of applications on the Windows Phone marketplace has grown significantly since its launch, some take the viewpoint that Microsoft's experimentation with applications came with the Zune HD, which invested a notable amount of resources to kick start developer interest in the Zune platform.

[Android 2.0+][Game] Cyber Infiltration

You are Cogs the robot, sent to the Cyber Planet to retrieve a piece of technology that can win a war. Fight robot enemies and collect what you need to unlock the path ahead. Can you learn how to survive on the Cyber Planet and if you do who will you decide to give the Gestalt Mind technology to in the end?
The game is a multi-layer 2D physics environment. There are many objects that you can interact with and even pick up and use later. Some times you will need to kill an enemy and other times you will need to explore and find items to move ahead.
The game play uses the whole screen as a control surface in combination with hardware buttons. Optionally a screen overlay may be used as a substitute for buttons. In settings the option to use cheats is given for those who just can't help themselves.
Recommended for devices with at least a 1GHz processor and 30Mb available space on the SD card. A small add is shown on the opening screen only.

Finally on a more personal note - this game is one of the most involved things I have ever done. It is written in only java along with a custom map editor I had to make in java to support the design process. Around 18 months ago when I started this project I was just weeks away from finishing another 18 month long project for windows mobile. Right at that time the announcements of the end of that platform where becoming a reality. Walking away from that was one of the hardest moments in my coding life, but with that change of platform and skill set I think I have gained more than I lost. I just hope someone buys this and sees the end. That would really be satisfying
cool game neat and clean
Thanks, it would be really great if you could rate it
Cool Game
Reminds me of the classic megaman =D

Name: Life RPG
Description:
Life RPG is interesting and original app for Windows Phone. Briefly telling - this is app for developing habits, scheduling jobs and todo`s. It is interest because process of planning is served in form of role-playing. Though this is application it has elements of RPG genre – levels, money, equipment, weapon and even pets.
Little about screens.On the main screen displayed your game progress. Names of other screens (“Habits”, “Everyday tasks”, “ToDo” and “Achievements”) speak for themselves.
You can speak about Life RPG as about motivation application. By accomplishing your tasks and following your positive habits you get game money that you can spend on things you like. Just add something as award to the list “Achievements” assign adequate price for it and spend game money on it. For example, my list : “1 series The Big Bang Theory”, “30 minutes playing games”.
Application Life RPG in pleasant game form will help you to accustom yourself to planning. This is truly important, because plan – it`s half the battle.
The application is free and available in English on your Windows Phone Marketplace.

Price: Free
Download Link: Marketplace
Did you created the app ? I think its really smart app. it should get some kind of "todo list" functionnality (once the job is done you gain XP, and the "task" is deleted from list). This way it could really be a task writer/reminder for every day use.
EDIT : said nothing, its on the app, just didn't see

Disturbing trend concerning new users

I find it disturbing that new Android enthusiasts are being detoured away from Android because of some projects that are in my opinion predatory.
This is what's happening,
New enthusist decides to upgrade to a phone that he or she sees on a online store or shop. He or she watches videos and reads about all of the mods and Roms and intricacies of Android and decides to buy a phone or dissect with their old phone.
The person that sold the phone sells many phones at at lower market price and advertises it as unlocked or for a certain carrier, and the purchaser doesn't realize that the phone has been modified with a partition that is not easily reformated.
The merchant loads his custom keys and server tracing software on the new users phone unbenownce to the purchaser. Sometimes the purchaser can think they have reset the phone and actually haven't.
The new enthusiast is now a part of the merchants not net, if the new enthusiast doesn't manage to wipe the phone correctly. Most often the merchant uses a server location in a liberal part of a swing state, mining keys and encryptions that are most often used for Bitcoin bot mining or stock market swing modeling.
This is a frustration to say the least to the new enthusiast and definitely are "life drain". It decently doesn't foster manufacturers of phones to open their devices up to open source projects.
In my opinion do this, "Pull" the predatory system load it on a emulator and have it scan low frequency stations and have it constantly publish the netstat to a public folder preferably overseas.
Nice try Apple. Still not buying an iphone.

Something will not compute. That's an old one.

Why I switched from Windows to Ubuntu

In the organization where I worked previously, I was managing the operations for a couple of Practices. One of them was Microsoft Practice. This gave me access to licensed software from Microsoft. From the OS to MS Office, we were entirely on Microsoft products. After working there for over a decade, I joined another organization where we were more into Android Programming and Open Source code. This required a change of the OS. Not that it was mandatory, but I thought it was good to make a complete change. This was not my first exposure to Linux. Two decades back, I was a big fan of Mandrake Linux. This time I choose Ubuntu.
In my view, there are some straight cut differences between Windows and Linux
The Windows UI is clean and beautiful to look at. The range of compatible software is massive, and almost all hardware works with the correct drivers.
This cannot be said about Linux OS's. The UI in most cases looks incomplete, not everything works, and every time you buy any hardware component you have to specifically ask the vendor if it would work with your version of the OS. Also, the command line is a constant companion, and occasionally you have to check the net for commands to execute some mundane task. The Linux OS's have come a long way from the early days, and most devices can simply plug and play. Most of the essentials, like Docker or the Jekyll site that I need for my work, works perfectly in the Ubuntu system. I have been using Ubuntu for the last 4 years now and have the same version on a PC and Laptop that I own.
Will I ever switch back to Windows ?
Hmm, I do not think so. It works for me, and I am a perfectly satisfied customer.
This is my story. Do you have a story of why you switched your OS ?
