Leaked: Official Facebook app from WinMo 6.5

March 25, 2009 in Entertainment, News, Spotlight by dave

fb Still searching for a decent Facebook application for your WinMo phone? Well, in case you’ve missed this, some developers at XDA have recently supplied a rather awesome Facebook app.

Now, apparently this app is actually made by Microsoft themselves and has been stripped from the yet-to-be-released version of Windows Mobile - 6.5 (Build 21169). That being said, this app is in fact a pre-release version with ‘many known bugs’ (though, I couldn’t personally tell you what those bugs are as I’ve not actually run in to any myself, but see the list of known problems after the jump). I can tell you, I’ve been using it for a bit now and I really love it!

Click here for an overview and screenshots of this Facebook app from XDA!

Microsoft goes after XDA Developers over WinMo 6.5 ROMs

March 13, 2009 in Entertainment, News, Spotlight by dave

xdadevelopers

We all knew it would happen eventually – on January 22nd a Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM for the HTC Fuze/Touch Pro was posted over at XDA Developers. Well, surprise surprise – XDA has received a legal complaint from Microsoft! XDA has, of course, pulled all the links for the cooked ROM as well as any other ROMs that are based on the yet-to-be-released operating system.

The e-mails sent to XDA Developers from Microsoft identify the site as ‘distributing unlicensed material and state’,

We hereby give notice of these activities to you and request that you take expeditious action to remove or disable access to the material described above, and thereby prevent the illegal reproduction and distribution of this copyright work(s) via your company’s network.

Facebook app intended for WinMo 6.5 now available for 6.1

March 5, 2009 in Entertainment, News by dave

Have you been on the edge of your seat waiting for a good Windows Mobile Facebook app? Well wait no more – it’s here… sort of!

It seems the Facebook app that is intended to be released with the new Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade has been extracted from the firmware and is now available for use with Windows Mobile 6.1 devices!

So as always with these kinds of applications, the download comes from the XDA-Developers forum. And, though everything should be just fine with this download, you are downloading at your own risk. That being said, enjoy!
