microsoft working on a crowd source location platform and the nokia 800 branding gets leaked all this and more coming up right now hello everyone I'm hime it'll be better with pocketnow.com and welcome to Windows Phone view the show we wrap up all this week's good and bad inside the world of Microsoft's Windows Phone platform let's start this week off with what's good well if your wallet was left ticking about either the HTC radar or time have a look at our recent coverage of the ACC radars video showcase what brings you a lot of information on what to expect on the device the device brings a metallic unibody design which is beautiful it really stands out from the crowd so there's a lot of things to expect from it sadly we still don't have release dates on the device in the US but hey a lot of us are waiting for it as much as you are so hey we'll keep you posted whatever we learn about anything remember we have our hands on videos of the Titan and the radar when our friend Anton d Maggie was in Berlin and the IFA event so make sure you have a look at those if you want to help yourself make up your mind about getting it or not and also make sure you look at Brandon minimums recent editorial about why Windows Phone 7 is winning and why mango is going to set the bar for getting windows mobile to come from good to great so make sure you look at that too and well-armed an Evan blass expert in all leagues foreign and domestic did a great job in pulling some retail imagery of what we expect from the Nokia prototype code 800 now what's interesting is that Nokia seems to be pushing a lot of Facebook within this sale and well we're not sure if this is going to be a Facebook branded phone or not but it most likely will be the seer a device that's been leaked that's bringing information from that Nokia n9 that everybody already knows about probably the design and everything else now interesting enough it seems that Nokia will also keep the Nokia 800 names for this device in the end so really interesting let's see what history pulls in the end on the software front great news for all of us youtubers because the html5 version of YouTube now works in mango for those of us that want to use in mobile I could say finally but I'm going to cut engl some slack because first of all it hasn't even been released so it looks really good in my personal testing I've tested it on an iPhone 4 a google nexus one and the dell venue pro that i own and trust me the dell venue pro blew them away in html5 performance so this really good news it seems that it loads video a lot faster than these other competing devices aside from that the official mango ron for the HTC mozart was leaked on XDA developers and well some people are already getting it and aside from that the samsung omnia 7 mango engineering rom was also released for engineers apparently for testing so these are all good news it seems that mango is just around the corner and while microsoft's new job posting has them looking for a highly motivated group of people to work on a core location service platform to help windows phone 7 now interesting enough you know that Microsoft's really going through this location gate lawsuit issue so not really sure what they're expecting with this but it seems that Microsoft wants to use in sort of crowds based system where when those phones that except to share their location will help them build their database on information of your location whenever your GPS is not working but whenever you're not really using your radio like for example if you're on a airplane mode or something now not really sure what to expect about this I mean Microsoft it's already hot on your front so let's see what happens in the end let's see if you end up pulling it off and if you get the team now that doesn't for the good let's continue on with what's bad Microsoft has decided to respond on record regarding the class-action lawsuit about location gate and well microsoft said that they are investigating because most likely they really don't have any problem now I invite you to have a look at Adam lanes recent video regarding all this lawsuit issue and shows us clearly about 20 times or I'm probably exaggerating but he chose us so many ways in which Microsoft asked customers if they're interested in sharing their location or not including in the camera application where Microsoft's being sued now interesting enough Adam was able to take a picture with location data shared and the picture without location data shared transported these images to his computer and he was able to show us on video that Microsoft does a really good job in not sharing your location data when you choose not to share it so I mean I think this class action lawsuit is done and I you know you just hate people that are actually making a living out of this but anyways that's it for today's show thank you very much for watching I'm high middle you better remember to give us a thumbs up if you liked what you saw that's it for now
