Another quick hack using the Kinect beta SDK and my new Windows Phone (which is great!). What you see is a simple game engine utilizing the pseudo-holographic effect from my other videos. A Kinect “sees” the position of the viewer and the 3D engine adjusts the image accordingly to give the illusion of a real 3D object. The 3D engine supports anaglyph 3D (red/cyan glasses) for a better effect in real life. A simple WP7 app controls the application and the helicopter using the accelerometers of the phone. If you like it, check out my other videos. Thanks for watching!

www.mobiletechworld.com Windows Phone 7 Need For Speed Undercover review on ther Omnia 7
A second beta build of Windows Phone Mango was released to developers yesterday even though the final version has gone gold two days ago. This second beta is close enough to final for developers to start finalizing their new applications, but we’re also interesting in what kind of consumer features may have changed since the previous beta from June. First off, the big ones are working Twitter and LinkedIn integration in the people hub. Well, mostly working. You can post status updates or tweets to both along with Facebook and Windows Live at the same time. You can reply to tweets as mentions and you’ll get notified of tweets that mention you through the “Me” live tile. You’ll also see full Twitter timeline updates in the People Hub’s “What’s New” feed which can be filtered of course. Unfortunately all of your Twitter and LinkedIn contacts do not currently load into the full contacts listing. There are options to filter your contacts based on those networks, but none of them load. This also poses a problem with groups since you cannot link your contacts to their Twitter or LinkedIn accounts manually. That means your Group or single contact “What’s New” feeds will not show twitter updates at this time. Hopefully that is something that can be fixed on the Windows Live server back-end since it seems like it should be possible. You’ll also see a few small icon design changes, some subtle animation changes, and over all it feels a bit faster. Website: pocketnow.com Twitter …

www.techlicious.com Microsoft set out to redefine the smartphone on Tuesday with the introduction of Windows Phone 7—and succeeded to a large degree. The phones were attractive and diverse, the Windows Phone 7 operating system handled all the smartphone basics well, and in some cases admirably. The apps were largely missing, though Microsoft assures us that there will be plenty at launch, though not the quantity of Apple’s iOS 4, Android or even Blackberry. So leaving aside the questions regarding apps, what makes Windows Phone 7 different from its competition? It starts, appropriately enough, on the Start screen where the customizable app tiles contain usable information rather than just a pretty icon. And deeper in, it works to bubble up useful information and functions that cross app lines. Windows Phone 7 anticipates your next move and provides an easy means of getting there. For instance, in the calendar you can move from an appointment to a map of the meeting location to driving directions without actively changing apps. When you look up a contact, you can see their latest status updates and even comment right there and have it post back to Facebook. And the camera is always one button push away—even when the phone is locked and in standby. After taking those spontaneous shots, you can share them right from the preview screen or set the phone to post all your photos to an online account automatically. The XBox Live tile connects you to your Xbox Live avatar and …
