Bin Day – Recycle with ease

We are really pleased to announce that Bin Day, our first commercial app, has just been published in the Windows Phone Marketplace.

Bin Day is a must for anyone who recycles their house hold waste. There is absolutely no question that the increase in the amount of household waste we recycle is a great thing. However, it can be a chore to remember what bin is collected on what day, especially when each type of recycling is collected on different rotations.

That’s where Bin Day can help. Simply enter the details of your bins (you can set the title, type of bin and colour), add the date of the next collection for that bin and how often its collected, for example, my brown Bottles & Cans wheelie bin is collected every 28 days. You only have to enter the detail once and from there on in Bin Day does the rest, displaying an easy to understand next pickup visual telling you what bins to put out next and when.

Localized languages currently available are US English, UK English and German, we will be adding Danish, French, Italian and Spanish in the next release.

We have plenty more planned for the next release of Bin Day and we are eager to hear your feedback on any additional features or improvements you would like to see us incorporate into Bin Day. Whatever you think please let us know with a review in the Marketplace or in the comments on the Bin Day page of our website at: www.odd-uk.com/mobile-apps/bin-day

Bin Day has an introductory price of $0.99 (£0.79p) with a free trial and can be found  in Marketplace here .

Thank you, and happy recycling!

LG C900 Just Said bonjour, comment allez-vous To the FCC

lg-c900-fcc

We have seen many pictures of new LG devices that will run Windows Phone 7. This article is about the LG C900, a Windows Phone 7 device that has a decent look and a slide out keyboard.

The device just made its way through the FCC’s research and inspection center, and it seems it’s on its way straight to AT&T’s nationwide stores. This is great to know since we have been seeing many rumors, and this is one of the first to actually come true (sadly).

Resco Explorer Updated To V8.05

Resco Explorer

Resco development on Windows Phone software seems to have slowed down, but at least one of their most popular software was updated earlier in the month. Resco Explorer is one of the first software that I ever knew when I bought my first Tilt, and now 2 years later… it has more features than you could ever imagine. The update was released just on the July 4th week, and now reading the feature list… I am loving it.

What color will your Windows Phone 7 device be?

Windows Phone 7 Metro Colors

The Kin seems to be living onto Windows Phone 7. With the addition of color based themes, the OS will allow users to change the colors of the tiles and more. This change was what I experienced with the Kin One and Two when I simple changed the theme.

I actually like this feature because having a phone with blue and white would be really cool. Now I would like to ask what color you are looking to have your device set to, and why?

All the options are above in the image, all you have to do is decide, and remember… Red and Black also looks very cool.

HTC HD2 Future: Thoughts

With all this HD2 news this week being covered by not only us but other phone sites, I think its about time I imageput my thoughts up. As many of you know, I have been itching to get my hands on this new device. With many being sold in the first day, I was shot down, but here is what I thought about the device, even before buying it.

WP7S:
I have to start with the most popular topic. This is the next gen of goodness… many have been giving the HD2 a hard time for not being updated through MS or HTC.

Why its good for the HD2:

  • It uses the devices full power
  • The OS is more attractive
  • WP7S is smoother
  • WP7S is faster(From what MS says)
  • WP7S is better looking
  • WP7S is 1000X more integrated
  • WP7S has more Apps

Why its bad for the HD2:

  • WP7S kills many cool features  the device prides its self on.
  • WP7S Will kill its Multi Tasking ability(for now)
  • WP7S Has limited Business Features
  • No Copy & Paste
  • No Sense UI
  • No Sense UI
  • No Sense UI
  • I do not thin I need to say this anymore… No sense UI.

As you can see… the list has both good and bad sides. I think I would love to have this new OS in my hands. I am more of a social person, not a business user. The device will fit perfectly with my addiction with Pandora  and Movies.

I think I would love if the Port htcpedia becomes the perfect version, and I can flash… and live happily ever after.

T-mobile Future:

After the first 4 days of being on the network, the device is doing pretty good for its self. I think with those numbers, T-mobile might see a huge sales potential in the device and make a bigger attempt at marketing and offer more devices.

The device will most likely sell a lot on America’s fourth biggest network. The sale numbers will not only be outstanding… but will finally show people the true goodness of Windows Mobile and people can finally have something to talk about, other than the I stinking phone.

The Outcome of the device being on T-mobile USA:

  • Sales Might bring Windows Mobile back to the US eyes
  • T-mobile will have a truly exciting WP device
  • HTC will becoming increasing Popular
  • The Iphone will be sandbagged due to the HD2 being so!! awesome
  • HTC will see how open the US market is, and bring in more devices, instead of us waiting.

The Life Span:

I know HTC, they like to have new devices out there back to back, and so I thought the lfe span should be important to talk about. The HTC HD2 while being a very awesome device is exactly like every generation of HTC device. HTC has managed to surprise us every year with a new BADASS device, and last year the HD2 was that device.

I think in 5 months(at least) there will be a new BADASS device and the HD2 will be like this years HD1, old news. The new device should be a fairly large screen device, AMOLED, fast, slim, sexy, keyboard and cheaper. It should be announced by late august, and released by the holiday.

My final thoughts:

The HD2 is the greatest Windows Phones yet, but as time goes by many will notice how HTC works. They do things like apple. They release device, and leave out some features that they know would be killer, and then they add it to their next device and tried to sell more and more. Apple does the same things, but instead of hardware they do software.

I am still looking for my HD2, but in a couple of months I would have moved on to the Toshiba K01, because I cannot live without my keyboard.

Again, these are my personal thoughts of the HD2. The device in my mind is great, but by summer it will be just the same as everything else(well everything else will have 3 buttons to the device 5.)

TouchFlo 2D gets tweaked and skinned

image

The TouchFlo2D world has been neglected in all this Sense 2.1/2.5 chaos, but no longer.

This new theme/skin has been available for some time now, but has just been updated to include some really nice graphics and even the flip clock weather indicator. The thread contains some very nice skins for TF2D and even the links to where you can acquire this specially modified version. If you are running TF2D I recommend you check out this XDA thread for a taste of the new Sense UI.

Xda brings new front page design?

image

XDA, is one of the most popular forums in the world and they have recently been experiencing some changes which have led them to this new front page. The site that is one of the best for all Windows Mobile and more recently Android content has undergone some very impressive design changes which as you can see in the image brings the news to you in a more attractive method.

The design change is made for the front page only, so no forum changes so far. The front page is most likely one of the least visited page in the whole site and with this new design that might all change.

“Welcome to the XDA-Developers new portal beta! This is an early glimpse at what we have been working on to help bring forward the best content that XDA has to offer. Please excuse any bugs as we work to officially launch by 26 February. Contact us if you notice any problems, or read about some of our future plans for this portal.

Many people do not know what the use of the front page is, but since I work for them I shall explain it. The front page is a place where all new/updated interesting content on XDA is posted. This  content ranges from application, themes, projects, leaks and more. The news writers(including me(Wen(WM)) goes hunting through the huge forum for something new and posts them like we also do here at WMPoweruser. With this new page there is most likely going to be a huge flood of readers going to get the latest on XDA content, and they do not have to worry about an unattractive destination.

There have been some rumors making its way around the web saying the LG eXpo has been discontinued. I had a talk with a rep and can therefore clarify the situation. The rumor says since the eXpo has not been available for some time now one, it must therefore be discontinued. That rumor jumps the gun before thinking about why this could be happening.
