13.02.2009More Windows Mobile 7 screenshots emerge with Zune UI
WMPoweruser has posted some more alleged screenshots of Windows Mobile 7. The screenshots Neowin sighted earlier showed the Today Screen and the Maps
utility. The new screenshots shown below, give us a picture of Windows Mobile Marketplace, IM and Zune, possibly from the Windows Mobile 7 UI.
Unlike the earlier screenshots which had a date of October 16, these screenshots reveal no such date details, so as to give away the time this UI was
devised and tested. If these screenshots are from Windows Mobile 7, then the Zune UI confirms the recent rumor that Zune is indeed coming to Windows
Mobile 7.

27.03.2009Leaked Google OS Screenshots?
Screenshots have surfaced of the suspected Google Chrome OS, without any reliable source or confirmation to back up the claims. The six leaked screen
shots show what could possibly be the very first screenshots of the new developer's beta operating system. The beta is labeled 0.1.15 in one of
the screenshots, showing the early stages of the operating system. If proven real, the screenshots indicate a Mac OS X spin on things from Google,
showing a dock in the screenshot, rather than having a taskbar like Microsoft Windows does.

background changed. Without so much as a press release or a blog post, Microsoft unlocked a "Kumo Lite" UI refresh for selected public beta

The screen shot above is the new homepage for live.com. As you can see there is a new left hand navigation panel with a few new options.

28.10.2008Screenshots of first Googlephone app
Remember WhatsOpen.com, the
stealth search
startup that piqued Google cofounder Sergey Brin's interest last month? Brin was so intrigued he told the founders to keep the company hush-hush.
Now, however, a source has leaked screenshots of WhatsOpen's secret project. The company has a Web application which shows users nearby stores and
their operating hours -- "what's open." But I'm told by a source that WhatsOpen has also written the first wireless app for Google's new Android
operating system. (You may know Android better as the software behind the still-mythical Googlephone.) Demo screenshots after the jump.
