windows vista for the dash

My friends says he has this but i have never herd of it.. if you find a pic or thread with this please post it. I would like to see what this looks like.

He's probably referring to SmartToolKit. It adds the snazzy Vista-like task bar, among various other very useful features.

C'mon, this is too good to be left without an adequate answer...

that had me dying in my office right now.

That is too weak I'm already playing Half-Life 2 on mine after overclocking.
I love cooking breakfast and carrying an 200 Watt power supply with my phone hacked with the Quad-core mod. All i have to do is find a socket and i can play online at blazing speeds!....Insane fun!
BTW, my next project is to convert my Iphone into a fully functioning Mac!...

I gave up on the Vista install after I realized I wouldn't be able to take advantage of ReadyBoost thanks to no USB port. That, and my FPS in WoW dropped when calls came in.

You need new friends.

id just go "hey friend. can i see it?"
way too easy for our members =)

I always get a bit uncomfortable when a bloke says "hey friend. can i see it?"
Probably my repressive British upbringing.

Here is the answer
Probably you friend has the vista smartphone interface software running, check the link:

[REQ] Yahoo Fantasy Football App [Windows Phone]

Umm…Yahoo only released Fantasy Football apps for Blackberry and the iPhone and I am quite sure that there would be a lot of people interested in a solid app for WM. If there is someone interested in creating or porting such an app I would be more than happy to donate to such a project.
Important Functions
Ability to track multiple leagues at the same time
Ability to see real time score updates
Ability to pickup/drop players
VGA Support
If someone is willing to develop such an app…I will start a bounty and also get community input as to which other features would be important.
Please only post here if you are a developer that is interested in creating such an app or if you are an end user that would donate if an app were created.

iPhone App Pics (which I really like)
Here is a look at the iPhone app that has a very nice UI...for once I am jealous...

I would like this but the mobile site is actually pretty good. My friend has the yahoo fantasy football app for the iphone and it kinda sucks. you can do way more mb going to the fantasy mobile site. If someone wanted to put in the time to develop a good fantasy football app that would be cool though.

I do and don't agree. The m.yahoo.com/fantasy site seems to work pretty good for me. How would you want to change it? the site's readable, and seems pretty simple to move around. I'm all for the app, even if it's because my friends in my league have it...

I would love this for all Yahoo! Fantasy Sports. I am an avid player of Baseball, Football AND Hockey and would dearly love an app for this.
Not that it's germane to this forum but I'd dearly love to see a similar app for Media Center as well. Alas...

i agree yahoo and many other major sites and companies drop the ball when it comes to creating apps everyone makes apps for iphone and BB because wm devicesget no love witch i understand to a point the earlier wm devices werent very good but now especially with htc devices they have finally started to click. Im dting for a yahoo fantasy app like the one for the iphone. all these companies piss me off by not making wm apps but not enought for me to get a ****ing pos iphone

I know I am asking for the world …but if someone was to...dare I say…port the latest iPhone app I would be ecstatic, delighted, thrilled and overjoyed!

Mobile site works good for me, but I also was looking for an app...oh well

Does any one know here I can get a a dump of the iPhone app???

I'm sad that this thread died. In hopes that ANYBODY cares about Fantasy Sports and can write an app, there are people willing to pay for it. At least I am.
Please!!!

Windows Mobile 7

Hey Guys and Girls,
Just wanted to know if ANYONE has ANY REAL screen shots of WM7 yet.
I am very amazed that Microsoft have kept thier cards close to thier chest !
I hope that this new OS is something radical, if not....I'm going to Andriod and bye bye Microsoft !

They are making it look like the Zune HD, and also as locked down as the iPhone os..

If thats the case then bye bye microsoft !!!! WTF really !!!
I'm going to wait until the conference, and if they fail to impress, then I'm selling my HD2 and getting an andriod phone !!

rumours pt is that wm7 will not do multitasking
and that it will not be backward compatible with previous wm programs
but mind you that is rumours

Yeah, I've been waiting too. luckily, the MWC is starting Monday of next week. I've all ready decided to Android, and it will take a lot for WM 7 to impress me enough to stay with microsoft.
Whats pissing me off even more is that while Android and to some extent iPhone OS are getting massive updates, WM is still behind in the dust and they're taking FOREVER to launch something.
I've all ready decided to switch to the Xperia X10 when it comes out in the states.

Guess we will no more soon, but it better be over impressive to get our attention!

These guys need to understand the phone / mobile business moves at a very fast pace, and making minor adjustments doesnt help thier cause. They are treating the Mobile market like thier Desktop market.....its not the same.
I hope the wait for WM7 is worth it !!

good bye android hello winMo

The device might be a mockup but the Ui which look like will have xBox integation could possibly be what we might get for WM7.
more : 1800pocketpc

Of course you could always get the screen shots direct from MS instead of 3rd party crap
http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/presskits/windowsphone/imageGallery.aspx
or even a demo video
http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/presskits/windowsphone/videoGallery.aspx
scroll down to the "Demo:Life in motion"

From what I've gathered Microsoft are just trying to emulate Apple instead of being inventive and trying to do something better. Disappointing to be honest. Again Microsoft show why they are falling behind as they have no imagination and just copy existing technology instead of trying to invent things themselves!!

looks a bit too dumbed down for my tastes.
Lets hope HTC can salvage it!

Since tom has posted this, most probably its real. And he is planning to release beta version soon.
What do you think is it real? If so it is a very good news for hd2 users.

Note:- I resized the pic so that its clearly visible.

if you consider that the HD was at first a WM7 test device.
and now HD2 is a MS Test Device. I would not be suprised at all to see this released.
Just because something is not getting an "offical" release does not mean anything.
I am not sure if XDA knows what the words "official release" means.

well pretty sure we knew it wouldn't be official but a test rom is EXACTLY what devs have been looking for since this debacle actually began
I can't wait for the release and that means the touch hd2 actually looks like a winner for me as the first wp7s device
but some questions
can one flash back to wm 6.5 or are we stuck
some more questions but good news time to blog!

I'm thinking this is legit. I was holding off on buying a HD2 but if this gets released, I'll be running to the nearest T-Mobile store.

very cool will pick up an hd2 if price is right. But will have to deal with edge as the fuhrur said. Maybe import from telstra.

What the hell? That's supposed to be the interface of WP7s? With those gigantic font sizes? One word per line?
What's the point of having 800x480 pixels if you use 60-point fonts? 5 lines of agenda per screen? Will it be able to display one calendar month in a single screen or will you only be able to look at 4 days at a time?
This is an interface for short-shighted people?
Hell, fortunately the people designing Windows 7 does not think that the people purchasing computers are 5-year old children, or 85 year-old. That is scared by more than 5 lines of text on a screen or having to think where to put their files.
I'm not going to purchase a new phone that is a tamagotchi for 5 year old children. Use have been using computers at home for 20 years, we're in 2010, not 1984...

Did you read the thread? He was responding to the post directly above his.

Now there are also Youtube videos in the HTCpedia thread

well hopefully this is real. does anybody remember windows mobile on iphone?

Might be sensible to hold off from overly wild celebration just yet - I believe that if we do choose to flash it, there is no way back due to some fundamental changes in the bootloader.
Personally I'd be interested to have a look at it if I knew I could get back to something tried and tested again. Still, I'm sure the good people working on it will figure out a solution if we give them time and space.
I just hope it doesn't turn into an 'xda special' - a bunch of impatient ingrates hassling the developers to release it and then accusing them of being con artists if they don't do it in a timescale that suits...

Google now.

Google now is pretty straight foward and its actually my first time using it and I'm already liking it. What can I expect as time goes on from it?

You can expect it to start learning from you. For example, after a while it can give you traffic data to home right before you leave work/school on a consistent schedule

Yep and if you check in at your fav burger joint or strip club :cyclops:, GN can tell you the traffic, if any to get to that destination. Also you can also get your fav sports team scores, local stuff happening in your area, even notifying you when a package was sent. I love the integration of google keep as well. Awesomsauce all around IMO.

You can expect to get traffic and weather notifications for every single place you Google, sometimes weeks later. But nothing for important meetings on your calendar unto 45 too late.

I have keep as well. How does it integrate itself with keep?

I think Google Now is the only thing keeping me on Android. It's just become TOO useful when I was doing things like checking Maps on my desktop and finding that a card would be added to my Now list, giving directions and ETA if I were to leave right away.
I'm definitely enjoying the way it's implemented, and it's become a tool I can't imagine using a smartphone without anymore.

I have a card for the Yankees, but it hasn't appeared yet. There is a game on right now and I can search it but it doesn't show the card yet. When should I expect it to pop up

Tasker, sl4a... depends how geeky you want to be. With sl4a people have controlled robots and stuff. Tasker has a little learning curve and it's limited only by imagination. There are several other automaton apps out there but Tasker is regarded as the most robust. You can even create standalone apps from within Tasker to sell on the play store if you were so motivated.

GN sucks.
