MS App Store building up stock

msthing Pocketnow have pointed us in the direction of the Business Applications Showcase over at the Windows Mobile Applications Store. It’s really sounds like a great resource but I don’t think I’ll be going there for a long time until it becomes a little more user friendly. Also this will give time for content to be updated. Its would also be swell if the Mobile App store worked on my mobile device.

Meizu on it’s way

meizu-m8-miniome-browserPMP Today has a picture of the Meizu M8. It’s an interesting looking phone and some might even call it iPhone-esq

1 million Diamonds by Mid-August

HTC-Touch-Diamond_333021a Despite a rather luke warm critical reception the HTC Diamond has managed to shift a rather respectable amount of units around the world.

It is a great rival to the iPhone even if it hit the ground limping.
