Windows Phone 7

Want to change the world? Imagine Cup is the key!

AshMan Says…

Do you have this feeling that you want to change the world, but feel like that you don’t have the ability to do so? And the reason you feel that way is because you’re just a student who is going through university to get a degree then just go into a job? Well there’s a way you can make a change and not just a small change, but the potential to make a HUGE change thanks to Microsoft and the Imagine Cup Competition.

The Imagine Cup is the premiere student technology competition and you have the opportunity to use your skills and make the HUGE change using this competition. You can create an entry in a number of different categories including Software Design, Embedded Development, Game Design, Digital Media and Windows Phone 7. There are also a huge amount of prizes to be won at each level of the competition as well as if you make it to the world finals you’ll receive all of your flights and accommodation as part of your prize!

So does this sound like something you want to do? Yeah? I know you want to! If you want to enter you’ll have to get cracking and get your round 1 entries completed and submitted! Also if you’ve got any questions regarding Imagine Cup and your ability to enter or having some troubles getting started leave a comment and I’ll do my best to answer it for you!

Windows Phone 7 ROM Leaked!

AshMan says…

XDA-Developers have posted news that one of their forum members has been able to dump the ROM from an upcoming HTC Device named Mondrian.

Seeing some videos of the new Windows Phone 7 and test driving the operating system through an emulator is nice and already gets the discussions and speculations flowing.

What most XDA-Developers followers really are waiting for is a full fledged ROM, that magically appears out of nothing.

Wait no more, because member 911sniper posted a Windows Phone 7 ROM from a HTC device named theHTC Mondrian.
The posting of the ROM is so fresh out the oven that at this point there’s not a lot of concrete information about either the device or the ROM itself. But it is certainly good news, knowing that developers and cooks are sharpening their knives to cut it to pieces and find out as much as possible about it.

Originally posted by 911sniper

Model: HTC Mondrian (Cingular USA)
AKU: WindowsMobile_7_AKU_6176
Language: 0409_WWE

Happy cooking!

At the moment it is clear that the known tools most chefs use, will not work without modifications. XDA developer and moderator Da_G already dumped the ROM with his currently private NBHImageTool which allows dumping unsigned ROMs.

If you’re dying to find out what the real low-down is on Microsoft’s operating system and HTC’s new device, head on over to the original thread to stay in the loop of the latest finds.
Make sure to keep an eye on the XDA-Portal, we will keep you updated with the latest information from the developers and chefs!
