Metrotube Now Available at Windows Phone Marketplace
Metrotube is now live on the Windows Phone Marketplace. It’s an awesome Youtube app that we recently previewed. The price is 99 cents, but for a limited time, the trial version is unrestricted, unlimited, and ad-free. This means you only pay if you love the app and think the devs deserve it.
Nokia Lumia 800 Hidden Diagnostics Tool Demo
The Nokia Lumia 800 has a hidden diagnostics tool that provides tests for troubleshooting potential issues in the device. The tests are not necessarily complete and do not substitute authorized service repair, but I thought it’d be cool to show how to get access.
How to Edit Your Xbox Avatar on Windows Phone. Nokia Lumia 800 Demo
A product manager once showed me how to edit your Xbox Live avatar on the phone, but forgot to ask the name of the app. After some digging, I found it at the Marketplace. It’s called Xbox Live Extras and it’s free. I’m showing it here on the Nokia Lumia 800.
Metrotube Demo on Nokia Lumia 800. Nice Youtube App for Windows Phone
Here’s a demo of Metrotube on the Nokia Lumia 800. The official YouTube app for Windows Phone is ridiculous. As far as I can tell, it just opens the mobile Youtube website. Keep your eyes open for Metrotube, an alternative that shows how the official Youtube app should be. It’s currently in beta, but will be available in the marketplace soon.
Demo: Seesmic goes 2.0, Shown on the Nokia Lumia 800
Seesmic for Windows Phone was just updated to support Mango and I’m showing it off on the Nokia Lumia 800. Seesmic lets you manage multiple Twitter accounts, your Facebook account, your Salesforce Chatter account and organize all your accounts, searches, trending topics and lists in your customizable “spaces” dashboard.
Demo: Thumba Photo Editor is like Photoshop for Windows Phone
I keep finding new things to love about Windows Phone on the Nokia Lumia 800. I really like the deep integration third-party apps can have with the core Windows Phone experience. For example, let’s take a look at the app called Thumba Photo Editor. After taking a photo with the camera, you can head to options then tap apps. This will send the photo directly to the app for some photo editing. For the end-user, this makes the third party app feel like a built-in feature.
Recap of Big Windows Phone and Night Party with Windows Phone
The Windows Phone team definitely knows how to throw parties. Here’s a video recap of what happened on Monday. We checked out the big Windows Phone display at Herald Square in New York City on Monday. There was a performance by the Far East Movement. The giant Windows Phone was very functional. Live Tiles were moving and even received push notifications.
Demo: Bing Search on Windows Phone is Surprisingly Good
I use Google to search the web, but Bing Search on Windows Phone is surprisingly good. To be more specific, the four options at the bottom of the app are actually fun to use. There’s location, music recognition, product scanner, and voice search. I made this video so you can see how it works before you get the Nokia Lumia 800 or Nokia Lumia 710.
Demo: SoundHound for Windows Phone
SoundHound is another Windows Phone app I recommend. It’s free at the marketplace, so I suggest downloading it when you get the Nokia Lumia 800 or the Nokia Lumia 710. Here’s a video I shot to show you how SoundHound looks.
Windows Phone Email Overview
I want to show Nokia users how the email experience is going to look when they finally get their hands on a Nokia device running Windows Phone. That could be the Nokia Lumia 800 or the Nokia Lumia 710. I’ve been a long time Nokia user, so that means I’ve been using Symbian for a while. Email isn’t really one of the strong features on Symbian. I think you’ll like the experience better on Windows Phone.
