HTC has opened Customer Care centers in Moscow, Russia today. The customer care center can repair phones as-well-as advice customers too for their phones. It is nice to see HTC opening customer care center in Russia as it is the only country where the HTC MAX 4G is available. HTC MAX 4G is the HTC’s first phone with WiMax built-in.
Still, no HTC customer care center can be found in western europe.

I do not know how useful this application would be, but G-Trigger allows you to start an application by shaking your device in particular direction. Ofcourse, your device needs to have G-sensor to use this application. This means that the users of HTC DIAMOND, PRO and HD can use this application.

Rumor has it that the T-Mobile is going to launch HTC Maple at CTIA trade show, which is supposed to be the long-awaited replacement for the T-Mobile Dash. Just like the original T-Mobile Dash, it will also come with a front-facing keyboard.
By the looks of it, it surely is going to be a Windows Mobile Standard device (non touchscreen WM smartphone). There is no information on its price.

Radical Comic Designer allows to quickly add comic captions and speech bubbles to your images (including the ones that you have taken with your digital camera).
The application installer comes in the form of CAB which is meant to be executed directly on the phone itself. So, copy the CAB file via your PC’s activesync and execute the file on your device itself.
You can open any JPG file located in your device. Unfortunately, no other image formats are supported (at the time of the review atleast). You can also directly take a picture from the camera and work upon that image.
However, the only grip is that there is no way to save your raw work. The file can be exported in only JPG format. A lossless image format like PNG/BMP would have been much better.
To resize the bubble or the caption, use the stylus and start dragging it from the extreme bottom-right of the bubble/caption.
The Radical Comic Designer Mobile is available for $9.95 from the following link: (also its official webpage)

In Touch Diamond/Touch Pro, the wired headset only allows you to control the playback of WMP mobile. Unfortunately, it does not allow you to control the playback of the TouchFlo3D’s media player. HTCbutton is an application which allows you to skip the song or play or pause the music being played.
Note: please note that you will need CF 3.5 to run this application. Most of the cooked ROMs comes with CF 3.5.
The developer of this application was generaous enough to make his code open source.
ICQ is very popular IM service on Windows PCs. But, it neglected the Windows Mobile devices from the past couple of years and did not released any updates for its IM client for Windows Mobile. Now, the ICQ is trying to revive its Windows Mobile client by releasing a BETA version.
The new BETA has updated interface and looks very promising for sure. The installer is in the form of a CAB file which is meant to be directly executed on your device. Copy the file using activesync and execute the cab file on the device itself.

On the brighter side, Microsoft won’t charge a penny from the developers in the year 2009. For $99 for each application submission? Looks like we are not going to see any iFart application for Windows Mobile.
Here is Microsoft’s press release:
Microsoft Corp. announced new details about how developers can build and sell applications for Windows phones through Windows Marketplace for Mobile, the recently announced application marketplace available with the Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system. In its commitment to helping developers create new and exciting applications, Microsoft will provide developers with 70 percent of the sales revenue of their applications from Windows Marketplace for Mobile, transparency throughout the certification process, and guidance and support from the stage of development to the final sale to the consumer. Developers can get the tools to begin developing for Windows phones at http://developer.windowsmobile.com.
“Microsoft’s decades-long relationship with developers has led to some of the most exciting innovations the industry has seen. We’ll continue our successful collaboration with developers through Windows Marketplace for Mobile, which will provide a broad reach to customers,” said Andy Lees, senior vice president of the Mobile Communications Business at Microsoft Corp. “With the new Windows Marketplace for Mobile and our great development tools, Windows phones represent an incredible opportunity for developers everywhere.”
Developers who sell applications through Windows Marketplace for Mobile will receive 70 percent of the revenue from the sales of each application. In addition, they will be able to set the price for their applications in each market, maximizing their revenues based on targeted pricing strategies. Developers can also choose to distribute their applications at no cost. Up to five application submissions to Windows Marketplace for Mobile is included in the introductory annual registration fee of $99 (U.S.). Each additional submission within the annual period will cost $99 (U.S.). The registration fee is waived for student developers who want to reach Windows phones customers, through enrolment in the Microsoft DreamSpark program. With Windows Marketplace for Mobile available in 29 countries, developers will be able to tap into a broad international customer base. At the same time, Microsoft will continue working with developers to ensure that their applications run optimally on Windows® phones by running a rigorous certification and testing process before applications go to market. Developers will be able to see detailed feedback during and after the certification process of their application on the Windows Marketplace for Mobile developer portal. Ultimately this enables developers to devote more time to writing innovative applications, and less time trying to navigate the approval process. Developers will have access to all details once the registration doors open in the spring, and will be able to start submitting their applications later this summer. Developers can utilize familiar tools and technologies to build unique experiences for the Windows Mobile platform through Windows Marketplace for Mobile, including the Windows Mobile 6 SDK and .NET Compact Framework 3.5.
With more than 20,000 applications already in market, Windows Mobile is among the most popular platforms for developers. Windows Mobile 6.5, the next generation of the Windows Mobile operating system, will allow developers to build innovative mobile applications without having to learn new skills or programming languages, by leveraging familiar desktop and server development tools such as Win32, Active Template Library and Microsoft Foundation Classes (Visual C++), Visual C#, Visual Basic .NET, ASP.NET and asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX).
