I'm not sure if this is a new or not or something related to WM6.1 but I don't think I upgraded my version in sometime. But I wanted to share this encase some people haven't tried the software in some time.
Today I upgraded my Live Search to version 2.5.2908.31943
I notice that it now has speech recognition where you can say your search or say your new location. It worked very accurately for me.
I also notice up to date gas prices. This works well since I l through 3-5 towns everyday and I can see what each towns prices are so I don't fill up and drive to the next town and prices are .15 cents cheaper.
Included is a copy for those interested.
Please no flaming if this is old news, just my observation.
It's been around for awhile now, but it's great that you shared it again. Sometimes I miss stuff the first go around and when I find it, it's like the first day it came out. Thanks
Chris
I wish Live Search had the ability to find my location like Google, or vice versa and Google would recognize speech!
Chris
Yep, old news. Also, the latest version of Live Search is very easy to find and download, so I think it's better to post the link instead:

I thought it was about time. I have been downloading stuff for about a year now.
Different software from different people and I thought it was about time to say it out loud.
This is really a great forum, and I wanted to take a few minutes to say I am very glad that all of us have found a great place to converge and share thoughts, ideas and silly musings and make our devices work the way they should; beyond the limitations the manufacturers intended and truly make them our toys, phones, and pieces of kit.
I think we all should be proud that we have taken a piece of gadget and truly taken it to the next level. Agreed?
Cheers!

ABSOLUTELY!!! This site has been such a huge help to me. I was interested in upgrading to 6.0 and that's how I found this site. (Yeah, I'm a total newbie!) Sometimes it takes a lot of searching to find answers but I've never been unable to find an answer to any question I've had.
Thanks to this site, I've been able to get my 8GB microSD card working on my Hermes, satnav is now working and I also have a great ROM which does everything I want it to!! Thanks to everyone who makes this site so great!!!
Me too me too!!
I have to get on this train. I have been trying to get my Hermes upgraded to WM6 for several months now. Having bought the phone in Hong Kong, living in China and traveling to North America very often I had some unique demands from my PPC.
I have to give a big hats off to each and every one of you guys. I must agree with some searching I was able to read and learn. I would never have been able to do that without this forum.
Hopefully someday I can contribute more than just donations.
Thanks again.
Windows Market place open!
uuuuurm what ???
theres a market place ???
where ???
link ???
maybe a really stupid question but - where is it- where do I have to go or do to get in it??
read about it at www.engadget.com and I was really excited about it, hope that there will be something for Touch HD !!!
try this http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/catalog/cataloghome.aspx
hmm, I hope things improve, because currently that site just makes me think the exact same thing as Bing: "Google just works better"
Hi
This market is not only too late, but also ridiculous.
with friendly greet
Starbase64
wow that just sucks as an attempt for a market place, they had better improve that - most of the stuff you can get using good old google - why use that?
it would also be better if it had a phone version of it as well so that we could download the stuff direct to our phone - dont make it like a website make it like the android market that thing is a million times better than this!!!
Just logged into marketplace and it says coming soon, where are you guys getting this info from?
Useless! Google is all we need: with it you could find new app but very old (and sometime more usefull) too.
D'rath
and now im officially un-impressed, lol
I was honestly hoping they were new applications, made for new windows mobile and made with new standards. Not the same old crap we already have.
Marketplace is not open
Here Is the Link : -
http://client.marketplace.windowsmobile.com/
Coming Soon
The market place has been there for a long time. I've uesed it once or twice in different forms over the last few years... the site we are waiting for is not available yet... as far as I can tell.
As Stated Previously
this is the site
http://client.marketplace.windowsmobile.com/
The actual mobile marketplace I think is actually http://client.marketplace.windowsmobile.com/ (which is "coming soon").
The REAL marketplace is still "coming soon"
The other link posted on page one IS NOT the marketplace, its just a showcase site for apps that links to other sites where you can buy.
This time around Microsoft is doing it right and going for an Apple style appstore.
Once again something comes along before Microsoft think of it and they make an half ass attempt at it quickly just to get it out!! (Obviously I know its not actually out just yet)
Doesnt anyone think it a little bit odd that the link to marketplace in the leaked build says "windowsmobile" ?
Especially as MS are so desperate to rebrand our beloved devices as "windowsphone"
fwiw also look at what the bootstrap triggers in marketplace app.
Looks suspiciously like a date to me..
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Security\Software\Microsoft\Marketplace]
"BootStrapInstalledPath"="\\Windows\\WMMBootstrap.exe"
"WebServiceUpdateServer"="https://client.marketplace.windowsmobile.com/bootstrap/02/2009"
"DownloadLocation"="\\Windows\\WMMarketplace.cab"
"MarketInstallLocation"="\\Windows\\WMMarketplace.exe"
Anyone ever seen anything different?
Wow, if you're planning to beat Appstore, at least pretend like you're trying to improve their formula.
No information on resolution, handset compatibility, pricing info for a start.
It's one of the many pages on available software and not even a good one. Plus the mobile version is not even online.
(https://client.marketplace.windowsmobile.com)
I just wanna throw this info out there. It certainly is useful... sync, backup and restore your phone's information on the web thru Microsoft's My Phone Application. Find out more: http://sn1-p1.myphone.microsoft.com/mkweb//MoreInfo.po?tsid=1254360402977
Sweet - I like this! So useful
I wonder if this is going to become part of live Mesh. It says on the site 'coming soon for mobile"
http://mesh.live.com
Live mesh is really cool if you do a lot of work at multiple computers (work/home/wm cellphone, etc). The usefullness of Mesh becomes apparant only after you start sharing folders with people. It's amazing
Ha! I did a little searching and today, Live mesh mobile link released here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/livemesh/arch...stallation-of-live-mesh-for-mobile-fixed.aspx
Um, apparently neither of you searched before posting... both MyPhone and Live Mesh (did not get released today. That article is from 2008...) have been around and been discussed here, for a long, long time. Please search before posting.
Hello,
My name is Trevor and I own and built www.taxiroute.co.uk which is a taxi fare calculator for the UK.
The website on its own generates £12m of enquiries a year. I deperately need a Windows Phone 7 app writing.
I was wondering if anyone might be interested in having a chat about joining taxiroute to help write this app?
Knowledge of Bing Maps and integration to webservices would be advantageous.
Drop me a line if you might be interested.
Thanks
Trev
http://www.freelancer.com/
I know all about freelance.com and im sure they will appreciate the backlink.
but im not looking for a freelancer as such.
I would like to team up with someone, and i appreciate this is a long shot, who does wp7 and hopefully might think taxiroute is a good idea and would like to come aboard.
The website is doing £11m of enquiries a year 18 months in. People seem to love it. But they always beat me with the stick "where's the mobile version?" And, "how many people do you think are looking for a taxi in front of their laptop?"
I've done all the back end. the api is ready:
http://www.taxiroute.co.uk/DesktopModules/IWeb/webservice.asmx
I wrote an old wm 6.5 version and it worked great. wm6.5 is obsolete really. but a good test.
Ive managed to get a wp7 demo together but im just mashing other peoples code together withought really understanding what it does completely.
So, anyone out there messing around with wp7 that might like to take a chance?
its bing mapping, silverlight, xaml, webservices and all the other things you probably know more about than me...lol
my main competitor just won the king of bling maps and is featurd in the US tv campaign.
Any fools out there with a couple of hours spare?
Trev
To be honest it looks like you're trying to get some developer to come do some work for you for free, and then you'll turn around and make some money off it.
to that all i can say is "no" really.
in my above post i hoped to prove that this is not a flash in the pan and that i had made a lot of effort before i considered wasting other peoples time.
this is an honest offer.
i dont know what else to say really.
trev
i sound like a bloody advert for wp7. ive said really, 4 times, 5 including this one..
Well, you wouldn't be the first person posting here who was like that You're actually the third guy in the last two weeks to come here looking for a WP7 programmer.
It's still not really clear what you're looking for. You're not building an open source program, you're not looking for a freelancer apparently, are you looking to hire someone, or enter a profit-sharing agreement or something?
I send you a PM

Gave it a try but it didn't work:

WooHoo! TaxiRoute WP7 App is now live
Remember i posted this thread before Xmas?
Great News! the wp7 app went live on Friday.
It has a free trial option and I would love your feedback!

Well the routing is trying to take me down a road thats been closed off for years and years. So not much good if it cannot give me an alternate route.
You need to get this fixed. Just as well its a free download.

Hi, firstly thanks for taking the time to have a look at the app and giving me some feedback!
I must admit, and im not trying to avoid responsibility here, but the routing is all done by Bing Maps. The chances of me being able to get them to update their maps is zilch
Could I ask a favour?
Would you try the route that you mention in the websites below and let me know what they come back with?
http://www.bing.com/maps/
and
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl
It would be interesting to see if firstly the web version of Bing also has the same problem with the route and whether Google maps says anything different.
Your help would be greatly appreciated

Yes Bing maps are sending me down the wrong route, but Google is giving me the correct routing. Try yourself (Marchburn Drive to Aberdeen Airport.)
I havent downloaded movies music not so long ago. yesterday I wanted to download 5 music albums. what I got is 5 songs for searching google in 1 hour. before I just type in get results and working links. all file upload providers now deletes it right away. some just gave up sharing files, you just can download your own upload. Whats happening. Is this stupid SOPA might be already running in google servers and the internet in anonymous mode?
I noticed this already in the last month or two, havent been downloading much at all, I never really used torrents as I never really gelled with them, I used Rapidshare for years, but now that all the file hosters are going tits up I need something new, so I am gonna try out Usenet this evening and see if I like it, my friends swear by it....
Ive seen that usenet before but never tried it. Im gonna test it to when Im on pc. thanks for sharing, I hope its free.
beemp3 is good.
Ill test that one too. thanks
Hi, it is still easy to get whatever you want really esaily.
P2P is obvious winner : torrents/magnets, slsk...
DDL : Pirate App, Blogspot. Search-fu skills... Russian sites too (http://zaycev.net/search.html?query_search= for instance...)
Usenet : paying. C'mon, don't do that. They're the same bastards as MU and RS... Making money on artists' back.
I'm a Black/Death metal head, and I easily manage to find whatever I want, so if you're listening to more popular music, you shouldn't have any problem
I hope this helps
what I only understand in that site is silicon stuff. I dont need it since I dont have boobs.
edit also says something about a chip, put a motor in it then you have vibra boobs.

Wow, people still use Soulseek?
Theres a name I aint heard in eons! I used to use it for dj music many moons ago when I was on dial up....
To be honest, I only want usenet for movies/tv shows.... I payed for Rapidshare for 2 years and the service was great, so I have no issue paying a fee again if I have hassle free downloading.... (I live in rural ireland, my connection is 4mbs!)
I still support and buy ALL my music as im a dj who plays radio every week and gigs regularly enough aswell, so I need receipts for that stuff....
I didnt get around to setting up newsgroups last night due to not being arsed connecting my laptop to my tv, next time gadget, next time.....
@m1ndh4x8r : Yeah, russian stuff you know... Being French I had troubles with it too, but it's not that hard to manage. Try PirateApp though, you should be fulfilled : https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Pirate-App/125065507548174?sk=info
@Ko_Ka : It sure is an old stuff and I don't use it much nowadays, but it still works, and it's still good to find underground content
The thing about paying is not that I don't want to, but for illegaly downloading something, no, I won't pay yet another mafia. And I sure buy a fair share of the music I download when I can and attend to as much gigs as I can. This way I make sure the artists get the maximum possible amount out of my money. Not some filthy over-rich mafia dude like MU's creator.
Haven't you guys seen what has been going on?
