We are looking through latest apps regularly and once we notice something of interest, we report here.
In Windows XP/Vista/7, when you use Live Messenger (aka MSN Messenger) you can show in status line of the messenger: what song is currently played in Windows Media player. This app works similarly but instead of Windows it uses iPhone or iPod touch and instead of Live Messenger it uses Twitter:
One of the best Twitter clients for Windows Mobile has been updated to version 1.2. This is easily one of the fastest clients you can get on Windows Mobile, I us it myself from time to time.
A reader just sent in this video that previews an upcoming game named Project Chronos. Details are scarce, but I wanted to share it because we don’t see too many 3D games on Android. The game is a first person shooter in full 3D that centers around the realities of war. Other than Bendroid, not many developers have figured out OpenGL ES on Android. Hopefully, this is a sign of more great looking games to come. Check back later this week when we get some more details on Project Chronos.
Rumours of two new HTC handsets have surfaced on htcpedia.com – The HTC Leo and HTC Whitestone look a little like the HTC Touch HD the suspicion being that the HTC Leo will be a high-end slider with full QWERTY and the Whitestone simply touch screen.

The Doro PhoneEasy 345gsm is quite different to the other phones you are going to find on the market at the moment, it’s not trying to be the smallest or the lightest handset available.

dropship is a game for iPhone and iPod touch, that is made by ngmoco – a company specialized in making iPhone games – and now this game is free! So, you might be thinking that a company that has received15 million dollars from vulture capitalists (as opposed to indie developers, who have only a little bit of free time and cheap Mac mini off eBay) would be able to do some good games, right? Right? No. This game sucks. Probably ngmoco released it now for free, just to attract gamers to their other, better, newer, games…
Here is how this game looks like:
Palm has responded to claims that its new flagship phone the Palm Pre abuses owner’s privacy rights.
The company’s statement issued after an owner discovered that location, list of third party applications, application usage as well as crashes were being sent back to Palm.
In the response issued by Palm it stated that it took the users privacy "seriously" and gave users ways to turn said features on and off.
Joey Hess software developer and Pre owner found his handset was sending this information back to Palm over a secure connection.
In its privacy policy, Palm does state that it uses geographical data to help with location-based services. It also added: "Our privacy policy is like many policies in the industry and includes very detailed language about potential scenarios in which we might use a customer’s information, all toward a goal of offering a great user experience." This has left both owners and developers wondering why so much data is needed and why they weren’t told what it had gathered.

PhoneArena have reviewed the new Tosihba TG01, a phone we had remarked upon in a podcast some weeks ago for looking a little laggy when it came to the Today Screen overlay. Thankfully that seems to have just been an early Rom. This looks, a couple of downfalls but one of the best Toshiba phones in a while
Toshiba has been MIA for some time now, but seems quite intent on making it back to the cell phone market by trying to shake the reigning concept of what high-end cell phone hardware means. Does the brute force of the Toshiba TG01, and its 1GHz Snapdragon chipset get along with Windows Mobile, probably the best business oriented operating system as of now? Is the result a marvel of modern technology? Can the gigantic 4.1-inch screen win over customers and pip competition at the post? Read on to find out.
Capacitive screens have received a great reception for their sensitivity to touch, but has left many stylus affectionados who appreciate the precision and other advantages of a stand-off pointing device feeling left out.
