If you have a QVGA Smartphone like the HTC Vox / s710, you know well enough that most existing games and other graphics-based Smartphone apps (Windows Mobile 6 Standard) out there only use a postage-stamp sized screen area. An example of this is PDAMill’s Flux Challenge, which, being designed for the traditional low-res (176*220) Smartphone resolution, only uses part of the available QVGA screen estate: (more…)
Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft, writes in an email:
In the competition between PCs and Macs, we outsell Apple 30-to-1. But there is no doubt that Apple is thriving. Why? Because they are good at providing an experience that is narrow but complete, while our commitment to choice often comes with some compromises to the end-to-end experience. Today, we’re changing the way we work with hardware vendors to ensure that we can provide complete experiences with absolutely no compromises. We’ll do the same with phones –providing choice as we work to create great end-to-end experiences.
… what in other words confirms that Microsoft will either release their own Zune phone (with music service built-in) or Microsoft will put Zune’s marketplace for music inside of Windows Mobile.
There were many rumors about Zune phone but now we are approaching situation where all users expect music service built-in into mobile phones and Microsoft must react. We only hope that Microsoft will offer Zune phone as platform and not as Microsoft hardware because it would cannibalize Windows Mobile and Windows Mobile manufacturers would start abandoning Windows Mobile…

Now we know the HTC Diamond is an attractive piece of kit. So attractive that many people based in US have imported the device, despite it apparently being only a tri-band device, with not even EDGE support on the 850 band used by AT&T.
Those readers have some cause to rejoice – an updated Radio ROM (V100.25.05) leaked by XDA-Developers hackers manages to activate the hidden 850 Mhz radio, allowing GSM and EDGE connectivity to work on all the GSM networks in USA. Unfortunately there is still no support for US 3G, but one is left only to wonder whether this is very far behind, seeing how HTC is planning to release the HTC Touch Diamond on the Australian Telstra network, which uses the same 3G bands as AT&T.
To download the new radio ROM and for instructions on how to install it, read this thread over at XDA-Developers here.

Great news for TyTN II owners as finally the Direct3D video driver that the device so desperatly is now available! Most HTC TyTN II owners are probably aware of the campaign to get a proper set of video drivers for the device and have no doubt heard of the HTCClassAction site that has been campaingning for them. If you want to download the new driver or to find out more then head over to the HTCClassAction site where you’ll find a whole load of information about it.
These drivers require a Kaiser (TyTN II) and a ROM based on the official HTC WM 6.1 update!. Exactly which ROMs are compatible is not yet known. We have tested this on multiple Kaisers, but all of them were running Dutty’s Diamond V1 ROM. It is extremely unlikely that these files will work out-of-the-box on any other MSM7x00 based device (at this time). Now we have all that out of the way, here is the actual CAB file. Just install it on your device. Here is a RAR file containing a sample D3D application – indeed the same as shown in the video – you can use to see if the drivers worked! Unrar it on your PC, copy the EXE files to your device, and run it on your device. It will show a few popups telling you if hardware is used or not.
