So we've got some new information in about Windows Phone 7, which is supposed to be available around the end of the year.
New improvements over previous Windows Mobile versions include:
- A locked user interface which won't allow the use of competing ones (such as SPB Mobile Shell and Point UI)
- A locked application installation system which only allows Microsoft-approved apps
- Removal of multi-tasking ability
- Inability to run applications written for previous versions of Windows Mobile

Unbelievable! It's like Microsoft did a survey of what features iPhone users would like the most, and cut those features from their own platform. If Windows Phone 7 truly is a locked down system which only allows installation of Microsoft-approved apps, then I'll view it with as much scorn as I do the iPhone.  |

So what's the consensus here about the Apple iPad? I've been hearing a lot of complaints about it: no camera, no multitasking, no changeable battery, no USB or SD ports, 4:3 aspect ratio...
I do think that tablets are going to gain in popularity as eBook readers, but Apple's attempt at it seems pretty sorry. There will certainly be some better tablets coming out this year.
Well, at least Pee-wee found a good use for the iPad.  |

Which one of these processors is better in speed and performance?
Intel® Core™ i7 920XM 2.0GHz with hyper threading (3.2GHz Turbo Mode, 8MB Cache) or Intel® Core™2 Extreme Quad QX9300 2.53GHz (12MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB) or Intel Pentium 4 3.4GHz Extreme Edition With Hyper Threading.
The core i7 is and extreme edition by the way. It has no FSB to deal with but the core 2 extreme quad has 12mb cache while the core i7 only has 8mb cache. On the other hand, the core i7 has hyper threading and 4 native cores on a single die as where the core 2 is seperated by a heat sink. also the core 2 has an over all higher clock speed.
I just need to know which one is faster in both speed and performance. And is the core i7 significantly faster than the core 2 extreme quad?
And does the core i7 clock all 4 of the processors to 3.2GHz when using Turbo Mode or just 1 or 2 of them? |

| Google has just pushed Chrome 4 to the stable channel. That means the new features such as bookmark sync and extensions are available to everyone. They have some really nice extensions, and I especially like the Official Google Dictionary extension. |

| Is the logitech mx revolution Model Number 931689-0403 the newest version of this mouse? The 2007 version? Because I noticed there is a 2006 version with model number 831869-0000. What is the difference between the 931689-0403 and the 831869-0000 models of this logitech mx revolution? |

Hey guys..not sure if this is hardware or software, or even if it should be in Chit-Chat....
I've made the jump and bought myself a nice little TomTom XL 340s GPS. I use to have a massive Lowrance GPS which could kill you due to its massive size.
Anyway, I've seen people people adding Custom POI onto them, such as red light cameras, etc. I was just curious A) what kind of custom POIs people use, and their sources. Ideally, free is best, but I know there are some paid sources.
I was on a 'free' site, but they were actually paid. It kept looping between 'free link' and the sign up page.
So after 15 min of this, I said, screw it, and came back to where I know people know.

| So Im running Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit and I know that it has DriectX 10 built in so I was a little worried when I installed Nero 9 Premium Reloaded and noticed that it made me install DirectX 9.0c to use it. When it installed the DirectX 9.0c did that downgrade me from DirectX 10? |

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've posted in here.
I'll give you a brief overview of the situation. At work we have purchased an application framework, that has been customised for purpose and I am looking at a specific improvement I'd like to implement. However I cannot get it to work as slick as I know it could. There is a keyboard short cut in the program, and I wish to be able to call whatever function it calls from C# code under certain conditions. I just don't have a clue what the keyboard shortcut is calling as documentation is lacking.
Basically I believe the framework is coded in C++ with most modules and our customisations coded in C#.
I have used a .Net reflector to look at functions in DLLs and the like, and have the C# source code for our customisations.
So we have:
Compiled C++ Programs and DLLs
Compiled C# Modules (DLLs)
C# Source for custom modules (DLLs)
The program with the keyboard shortcut I speak of is C++ afaik and I basically want to know what is going on behind the scenes when this shortcut is pressed, most likely a call to a function in one of the C# modules I do not have the source to, or possibly one of the C++ framework level modules which I also don't have the source to. Either way I hope to be able to trigger this from code instead of requiring the shortcut key be pressed.
Any ideas on how I might go about this? I thought I knew... but keeping failing to find a way, am I going to have to decompile and look at source?
Many thanks,
Dave |

I just got my preordered copy of prototype for the PS3 through the post.
After running the game, and pressing start, the screen shows something like "Not enough space ... 708 MB Required ... Press PS and free enough space".
I go back to System > Information in the XMB, and it shows 92 GB free!
I've got a UK PS3 (originally second edition 40 GB), with a seagate 320GB hard disk in.
Any ideas? |

I have a large collection of of PSOne games on my PC in mostly BIN/IMG/ISO formats.
I put these on my PC so I would never have to actually take my discs, which I love & cherish, out of the cases anymore because I fear for "wear & tear".
My question is...
If I burn these games to backup Discs (CD-R), will my PS3 recognize them as playable games? |

| I have a Dell Inspiron XPS Notebook Desktop Replacement. I am running Windows 7 32bit. However, Dell only drivers only support the Windows XP operating system Since this Notebook came out in 2005 it is pretty much obsolete in dells eyes as far as Driver and OS support goes. Anyways, since the Intel chipset and Dell Notebook System Software (NSS) was designed for Windows XP Do I really need to install it on my notebook now that Im running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit? The chipset software and NSS arnt supported by Win7 but i can force install them but its not necassary right? Wont it do more damage than good since both those softwares were designed for XP? |

| So I just ran a Check Disk on my Hard Drive in Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit and when it was done it found problems and told me that it saved all problems in a folder named "Found" on my disk. Where is this folder located? Is this new with windows 7? I did a windows search and couldnt find it. I scanned using check disk within Windows 7 and used the "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors". |
