We help to Understand Windows Phone Better

Use Windows Phone as USB Storage Mode is Coming Soon

News August 6th, 2011 / No Comments

Den Delimarsky has come up with the solution to use Windows Phone 7 as USB mass storage mode on your PC. Although the idea of using Windows Phone as USB storage is not new, we are yet to receive any dedicated application to perform same function. There is already a hack to do so.

Den is quite sure about his method and he has gone further to provide nitty-gritty of this application. For non-techies users (like us) he is also planning to release an application when the work is done. According to him there are few areas that needs final touch before the final release.

He has gone one step further to explain how he has explored physical location in the phone system where application data is stored i.e. ApplicationsData. All Applications data are stored in isolated area located at ApplicationsDataAPP_IDdataisolatedstore. We’re not going in much details on how the data has to be written in isolated area, enthusiastic people should follow Den’s post on this topic.

An application screenshot gives us a hint on how easily we can upload files to an app’s isolated storage. We’re yet to understand the tool as a whole, but looking at the screenshot it looks like a promising tool. This could also make it possible to upload .doc,.pdf or other files to the phone system.

Unlock Windows Phone 7 at $9 via ChevronWP7 Labs

News July 21st, 2011 / 1 Comment

Microsoft’s support to chevronWP7 developers has brought Windows Phone 7 unlocking option on the table at merely $9. Chris announced on his twitter account that chevronWP7 labs will allow you to unlock Windows Phone 7 in unsupported countries as well.Earlier, Microsoft had decided $100 price for such practice, but chevronWP7 developers has made it available for a small fee of $9 via. Currently, payment via PayPal is the only available option.

chevronWP7 labs feature will directly compete with Apple’s iOS. Apple doesn’t allow you to unlock iDevices brought on contract, of course you can unlock your iPhone using ultrasn0w unlock tool or GEVEY sim. The main purpose behind providing Windows Phone 7 unlock at $9 is to encourage homebrew application.

Unlock WP7 at $9

As you may remember, one of our goals was to make Windows Phone development more accessible. Plans have recently solidified and we can now reveal a solution we’ve been working on.

@ChrisWalshie @WithinRafael do you think it’s going to affect ChevronLabs or what’s the fuss about? I still doubt I’ll pass it with my CC.

@ailon You’re still paying $100, labs is only $9. /cc @WithinRafael

Making chevronWP7 unlock tool available to all countries is not to support pirated apps or hacking. There is no way that they will support unsupported APIs and registry editing. It will encourage enough developers to start building homebrew application, even if they are in unsupported countries. It also looks like Microsoft’s desperate effort to create a parallel marketplace like Cydia for iOS devices.

Do you think that providing Windows Phone 7 will encourage piracy?
