Monday 26 September 2011 @ 7:52 am
This week is slated for the start of the Windows Phone Mango rollout, and while Microsoft talk about a worldwide deployment, WindowsPhoneNZ is reporting an update that seems somehow to be a test of sorts.

Thursday 28 July 2011 @ 9:10 am
Today Microsoft released a refresh for the Windows Phone Mango Beta, which brought it up to 7712, from 7661.

Confirmed: Microsoft has ditched GeoTrust Verification for Individuals and DreamSpark Students!

Monday 25 July 2011 @ 5:56 am
Yesterday I got a bit of a bee in my bonnet, about some information posted about changes to the Windows Phone developer registration/certification process. The lack of solid information from Microsoft, an announcement, press release etc, detailing the changes seemed strange to me. as well as the variation in the results when following the link [...]

Has Microsoft Ditched GeoTrust for Windows Phone Developer Verification?

Sunday 24 July 2011 @ 10:06 am
I’m a bit befuddled by a post that I read today, that asserted as part of the recent App Hub update, bringing many new features for Windows Phone Developers, that the registration/verification process had been relaxed for individuals and students. While this may be an interpretation issue, as with the app hub refresh, Microsoft have [...]

Want a Windows Phone developer device? Just ask!

Thursday 16 June 2011 @ 7:57 am
Further to my post yesterday, more information is coming to light about the rumoured release of Windows Phone developer handsets, with the hardware to support all the new features in the Mango update for Windows Phone. Seems you will have to be a serious developer, and actually have applications published to the market. Obviously, Microsoft [...]

Rumor: Mango Developer Phone may start shipping next week

Wednesday 15 June 2011 @ 8:03 am
In the lead up to the Windows Phone Mango announcement, there were a lot of  juicy tit bits making the rounds, one of the more exciting was an idea that Windows Phone developers would gain early access to the OS build. In no way was it stated how that would be delivered, and in a [...]

No early Mango release, just a developer phone

Monday 6 June 2011 @ 5:16 am
Most of you would remember some of the hype around Mango being available early for registered developers, it was a bit exciting to think that I might get early access to the next major update for Windows Phone. Whilst it’s not true that they won’t, that news has changed a bit, or been restructured at [...]
