Microsoft Windows Phone 7 series theme
March 15, 2010
While Microsoft has made it known that that most Windows Mobile 6.5 handsets won't be able to construct the upgrade jump to the Windows Phone 7 Series, there is still a small trick left - relying on the beta version of a Windows Phone 7 theme for Windows Mobile. Getting your game on is pretty simple by downloading and installing a .cab file, where among the features made available will include Live tiles with rotating pictures, a Bing search utility with a background that will change to match the Bing picture of the day, as well as a program launcher which resembles the Windows Phone 7 Series/Zune HD app launcher. Don't expect that to be refined since it is still in beta mode.

March 6, 2010
You might have tested out Swype on your Android-powered phone when the beta version of it was leaked a while back, but whether you didn’t next, you’re currently able head by to the Swype Beta site and register to become a tester. The beta is currently open to a limited number of public, and it’s available in English and Spanish, so whether you want to give it a experiment drive, you’d better register quickly. It’s currently a limited version, compared to what you’d get whether you get Swype bundled with your phone. Supported resolutions currently include HVGA and WVGA resolutions only.

Opera 10.5 beta for Mac
February 26, 2010
Opera has just rolled out its 10.5 beta version of its web browser for the Mac platform, which ought to be a whole lot more stable compared to the Alpha version. One of the main additions would be the inclusion of multi-touch gestures, Growl notifications, support for Apple’s Cocoa application programming interface, and restored support for Macs running the old Mac OS 10.4 Tiger operating system. You will require an Intel processor to run Opera though, so the older PowerPC processor systems are out of luck here.

Apple Now Allows 3G VoIP by The iPhone
January 28, 2010
You may or may not have noticed it, but it seems that beta version of the iPhone SDK 3.2 which was released in conjunction with the announced of Apple’s iPad has some hidden gems inside it. We’re talking about Apple allowing VoIP by 3G now for its apps, which is something that many of us have been demanding for a faraway day now. As can be seen from recent announcements from iCall, Fring and Acrobits, developers have already taken advantage of the new opportunity and updated their apps to work by a 3G connection. Running VoIP by 3G isn’t something new for many phones out there, but Apple has always had a restriction on it, so that is a welcome new ‘feature’ to the iPhone. With that in mind, it seems that there is a possibility of turning your iPad into a voice-chat device too, since you can run these iPhone apps. The teeny bit of poor news related to that is that you’ll still need to have a carrier that doesn’t mind you running VoIP by 3G, as some operators don’t allow VoIP by their 3G network, or charge you additional fees. AT&T did announce last October that it would allow VoIP by 3G, which seems to jive quite nicely with that latest development.

WinMob 6.5 SDK Yanked Offline
January 26, 2010
A beta version of the Windows Mobile 6.5 Software Development Kit (SDK) has been taken offline, after it was accidentally posted on the Web a few days back. The SDK gave useful info such as documentation, sample cipher, header and library files; emulator images; and tools to build applications in Visual Studio 2008 Professional and 2005 Standard. that would have been really useful to developers who have unfortunately been without a WinMob 6.5 SDK since the official launch of the operating system back in October 2009. A statement from Microsoft read:
"While the SDK was not announced or promoted, it was discovered and generated questions from the community. The beta SDK has since been removed, and to supply the best experience possible for Windows phone developers it will be reposted once final checking has been conducted. We apologize for any inconvenience."

January 5, 2010
Nokia users who are running a S60 device with a touchscreen will want to take note that a beta version of Nokia Image Exchange for S60 touchscreen smartphones (such as Nokia 5530, 5800, N97 and X6) is available for download via Nokia Beta Labs. Currently the functionality is quite limited, and the UI is a little unpolished, since it’s still in beta stage. whether you want to download it to give it a try, you can do so here.

Apanda A60 does not subsist on bamboo
December 9, 2009
No, the Apanda A60 is not an endangered species of any sort, but instead is yet another Android-powered handset that apparently is still in the beta version. The specifications ain't too shabby after all, with a 600Mhz Qualcomm 7227 processor, a 3.2" HVGA 320 × 480 resolution display, 256MB ROM, 256MB RAM, Wi-Fi connectivity and a 5-megapixel camera. It will run on Android 1.6, supporting both GSM quadband and WCDMA networking to invent that a global handset. Too poor there is no word on pricing and availability as at press duration.
