no keep repairing a Windows Phone event for August 17th we go hands-on mango beta to and show you how to get it and one Skype searches for a video engineer for Windows Phone 7 you ask where a Skype anyways all this and more coming up right now hello everyone I'm hime it'll be better with pocketnow.com and welcome to our first ever Windows Phone view the show we wrap up all the week's good and bad inside the world of Microsoft's Windows Phone platform let's start this week off with the good old mango is in the air and we're on from that means a lot maybe we're asking yourself when will we be receiving more Windows Phones the answer lies behind the release of mango Fujitsu and Toshiba joins together with Japanese carrier KDDI and Microsoft to prepare their au is 1/2 T Windows Phone which is as of now the first device to rig mango out of the box and also the first Windows Phone to make it to Japan the first add is already live on YouTube and even though we're not sure if it'll cross the pond and make it to our shores I gotta admit that thing is gorgeous suddenly not everything is cool in these news so stick around for the bad section and we'll tell you what's not good around there I've gotta admit mix Nokia built quality with mangling you've got yourself one hot combination still it wasn't clear if the guys in Finland were gonna release a product this year or not but after the Toshiba and Fujitsu announcement of their first Windows Phone invitations of a Microsoft / nokia band were sent out for August 17th and there's no doubt what we were gonna get there and think about it I mean an N 9 device sporting a media platform that's soon to be ditched was really sad and well our biggest guess is that we will get the Windows Phone C R a device that converted n9 that we saw earlier but cross your fingers we're not really sure we're gonna get and hopefully it's searay along with other really cool devices the great thing about competition is everybody wants a piece of the pie and well digit times is reporting that industry sources are confirming that aside from Toshiba Fujitsu and Nokia devices HTC Samsung and LG also plan on releasing mangal devices for September so that could lead to a possible mangos date release but mango was already released to manufacturers today so rumors do hold water no word on when we'll get these devices but it seems that HTC is going to stick with some qualcomm single core one point five megahertz devices instead of dual core and that will be getting screen ranges from 3.8 to 4.3 though we have caught rumors of an HTC ignite and a prime that will be released sometime within the mid-year but most likely we'll get them with mango when it gets released in September and most likely these will be the first HTC devices to be released aside from that we have been receiving other images of an HTC Omega and Eternity in cases all around so we could see up to four H these devices being released with mango really good news and really good excitement about that Windows Phone 7 mango beta 2 is live for developers and it's worth every penny for you to upgrade if you're like us and you simply couldn't wait for the release this fall head on over to Anton's recent video where he shows all of us mortals how to get our phones upgraded to mango without the need of a developer account the procedure is pretty simple and straightforward and Anton does a really great job of giving us a step-by-step procedural video on how to get it done make sure you also visit Adam lanes recent comparison videos between beta 1 and beta 2 to know the differences and if you're wondering if mangos worth the shot well head on over to Adam lanes recent complete mango preview where he shows us all the differences in why mango matters and while just to give you an idea my Dell Venue Pro is a whole different animal after I upgrade it I do recommend you do the same and exclusively cut from an anonymous tipster is that lately Microsoft has begun to pay developers for porting their iOS and other platform applications to Windows Phone after years of seeing Microsoft ignore Windows Mobile it's great to see that Microsoft is finally bringing full supports to their new mobile platform we've heard of Microsoft using different tools for Android and iOS developers for it to make them easy for them support their applications to Windows Phone but Microsoft has begun to approach things differently according to the tipster free phones and apparently a different sort of secret company to pay these developers is in the mix to make differently in asking developers not necessarily to bring their applications just ported to Windows Phone but to use the full functionality of the OS to bring applications from the ground up to be working differently in Windows Phone if you ask me it's a great idea I mean Microsoft should have been supporting developers from the start and well it's great to see what this new program could bring to the platform there are a lot of applications really key applications that haven't yet made it to Windows Phone so I really can't wait to see what's up next ok so that does it for the good let's start off with what's bad just when the release of Windows Phones has been slowed to none so Shiva and Fujitsu have announced that they'll be breaking up their joint venture they haven't even begun selling their a UIs 12t that we just mentioned earlier and their relationship just got complicated this makes us wonder if the separation has anything to do with Toshiba and in the end it'll end up benefiting the platform because even though Toshiba had windows mobile devices in the past some really good ones the problem Toshiba is it wasn't really good in releasing enough phones I mean HTC and Samsung did a really good job in releasing phones and it wasn't the same case for Toshiba so let's hope that Fujitsu sets their game up and brings up more phones as of now because one is not really enough guys ok so let's do the math Microsoft by Skype for 8.5 billion in cash in May Skype releases versions of their application for the iPad and other platforms and we have yet to see a Windows Phone 7 version of Skype now they're searching for an engineer to bring video to Skype when it releases with the mango in the fall and well the good thing is that we are seeing Microsoft building Skype to be the way that people will communicate with video calls within Windows Phone 7 but what's bad is having to wait for an unspecified date in the fall to get you know the Skype version for Windows Phone 7 mango I mean Microsoft is supposed to be a software company Skype is also supposed to be a software company how about if you guys just step your game up hurry up bring is a video not included version format for this version and then you bring up a video version for Mango how difficult could that be that's it for today's show thank you very much for watching I'm Hyneman remember to give us a thumbs up if you like what you saw that's it for now
