Remember when we informed you last time about Android port which was in works for HTC HD2? Well guess what? Just like the Android port for iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G, it is now a reality on HD2 too, with Android 2.1 dual booting side by side with Ubuntu Linux “'Karmic Koala”, and Windows Mobile 6.5 with HTC Sense. Check out the video after the break.
The KIN phone has a really neat looking UI which appeals to quite a a lot of teens out there. Unfortunately though, the KIN didn’t get all the attention which it should have got. And now without having to buy a KIN phone, you can get that same interface on your Windows Mobile based phone as a theme using the KIN Launcher.
Google today has unveiled the much awaited Android 2.2 OS at the I/O 2010 conference held in San Francisco. Since this release has brought lots of new features to Android platform, we decided to put it up against the upcoming iPhone OS 4.0 and Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 to see which one comes out on top.
We have previously seen different Windows phones like HTC Touch Pro2, Touch HD and Touch Diamond2 running Android OS through an emulation software named Haret. For different reasons, developers so far have not been able to do the same for HTC HD2 which by far is the most superior Windows phone available today.
One common misconception about Windows Mobile platform is that it lacks gaming abilities. You might want to reconsider this after you watch this video of PlayStation emulator (FPSECE) running some PlayStation titles like Tekken 3 and others on HTC HD2.
Recently, we informed you about the upcoming Microsoft Kin One and Kin Two phones which are heavy social networking oriented handsets aimed at the social network savvy people. And now according to a leaked email from Verizon, it now looks like that the said phones will be available for pre-order starting from 6th of this month, and will ship on 13th May.
If you’re a die hard Windows Mobile fan and feel left out that why only iPhone and Android (soon) users gets all the glory of having their life in the cloud, then there’s good news for you all. The official Dropbox Client for Windows Phones (Windows Mobile 6.5.x, not Windows Phone 7) is now in the works.
Remember the invitations which Microsoft sent in a tube like box to people for their “Time to Share” event? The hype is over now, and yet again Microsoft has come up with a new product out of nowhere which people weren’t expecting to be released, the Kin.
Windows Phone 7 Series was the official name of the new upcoming mobile OS of Microsoft. It may have sounds catchy for some, but for many, it was tacky at best. And so thankfully, the official Windows Phone account on twitter has confirmed this morning that Microsoft is dropping the “Series” part in the OS name, and so it will be now called as “Windows Phone 7”.
Wow! this is big! We all knew this was going to happen at some point, but not as soon as this. Apparently, some Russian folks have managed to port a “real” working ROM of Windows Phone 7 on the most popular Windows Mobile device – the HTC HD2. Tom Codon of HTCPedia has posted screenshots which shows off the device running an early build of Windows Phone OS 7.0.
