- By Boydo in Android, Apple, Facebook, Instant Messaging, iTunes, Microsoft, Operating Systems, Plus, Skype, Social Networking, Technology, Twitter, Windows Phone 7
I have been sitting on this one for a while to allow appropriate time for stewing but I think it’s about time for it to come out out of the oven. I don’t think we’ll ever see a Facebook phone. There has been recurring speculation in the media about a Facebook phone and while Mark …

Windows Phone Mango is Go!
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get my desktop recording solution working the way I wanted this afternoon so I went ahead with putting Mango Beta 2 on my Samsung Omnia 7.

Boydo to Tango With Windows Phone Mango
Just a quick update tonight. I have managed to write a dummy app (just a simple Hello, World! one following some instructions I found on the web) and it has progressed far enough in the app submission lifecycle to score myself an invite for Mango Beta 2 testing and development.
