HTC’s custom Windows Phone 7 experience
Korneel De Feyter op September 19th 2010, 16u 43
HTC has a history customizing other’s mobile OSes. It designed custom layers on its Windows Mobile phones, it created the Sense UI for its Android devices, but with Windows Phone 7 Microsoft no longer allows manufacturers to build custom skins upon its yet-to-be-released WP7 OS. If this preview above it real (it looks very genuine), HTC has found a way to deliver an unique feeling that will distinguish them from other WP7 manufacturers.
I have to admit, this looks very nice…

Job posting hints Microsoft might be breeding on a new Zune
Korneel De Feyter op September 12th 2010, 22u 22
WMPoweruser.com noticed something very interesting on Microsoft’s job board. You’ll never guess what…
A job posting! Oh, that was your guess…
Well, Microsoft’s job postings have led to numerous rumours in the past. Some of them turned out to be the truth, others were miss-interpreted. This time the Softies’ Entertainment and Devices Division needs a Hardware Engineer to build “the next generation of portable entertainment and communication devices”.
Now this could be anything, right? Of course that could, but now add that the team that’s recruiting is stating that they were behind the creation of the Zune HD.
The job posting is filed under the product ‘Windows Phone’, this makes things more complicated. It gives us three options:
- Microsoft is building a next generation Zune based on Windows Phone 7
- Microsoft is building a Microsoft-branded Windows Phone 7 device (unlikely)
- We’re just hoping for the two above and all MS is doing is creating an internal Windows Phone prototype device
As a side-note, I’ll add that ZDNet’s Mary-Jo Foley — who’s mostly well informed — recently said she had gotten a tip about a Zune HD successor. According to her, Microsoft is considering to make one last Zune device before turning it into a service on multiple platforms. It could become a phone-less Windows Phone 7 device, much like the iPod touch is to the iPhone.
Metronome app and Twitter update
Korneel De Feyter op September 10th 2010, 20u 09
Microsoft released released another small application today. Metronome is a perfect app for everyone out there who not only loves to listen to music, but also adores composing or is actively busy with music.
Beside Metronome, there’s also a new Twitter update available, v1.4.
