Anyone seen heads or tails of teh new Bing mobile application that has not been released yet?

You mean the one available in the marketplace?

Please take your time to read the rules..

The one in the marketplace is just the old Live app rebranded as Bing. The Bing blogs have suggested there's a fully refreshed app (presumably using more of the Bing look and feel) coming, but I think it's a bit unclear whether it really WILL be a new app or if they're just going to push m.bing.com or a widget version of it.

I was so disappointed when I went to this site (look at the phone), and the link they sent me only redirected me to m.bing.com.

How do I find the applications I want?

Hi,
I'm new to HTC, and windows mobile. I'm having great difficulty in finding apps that I want, how do I go about finding them until the XDA marketplace is up and running?
I'm currently after an ebay app if there is one, and also a converter app. Also I've read somewhere that there's an app/cab file that allows any program to be in landscape or portrait, but I can't remember the name. Think it was gyrator or something but I can't find it, any idea?

I can't help you with the ebay app, but you want BsB Tweaks to allow rotation in applications, or try PLToggle (in my sig below).
For the ebay app, I'd recommend searching in the windows apps forum (in general), rather than a phone specific forum.
Hope this helps

Mate, before you do buy things .. search .. search .. search! this community has a lot to offer and there is bound to be a freeware that can do what you are looking for.
Of course when all fails default to buying the app. If you find what you are looking for consider donating to the hardworking developers here.

I have searched and can't find what I want so end up asking, but then feel a nuisance
Hi Snerkler,
Searchng on XDA is not easy (I should know). Use this tool, which should give you a fighting chance...http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all.
Also look here ..http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/
And if you google "windows mobile apps" or "free windows mobile apps" you will be surprised what you can find!
Unfortunately we don't have an app store like that other device; however there are thousands of apps out there.
Just thought of another 2 sites:
Clove....http://www.clove.co.uk/
Handango....http://www.handango.com/homepage/Homepage.jsp?storeId=2218
If you are stuck after all this then do one thing.......send me your phone and pack it all in.
Good luck chap

PS PM me if you need more info but don't want to look stupid on here. However you have been getting loads of help off people here which is good; no one's told you to get lost yet or to RTFW (read the wiki (lol)).
Must be your excellent Karma. Do enjoy exploring the world of Windows Mobile.

hey
could you point me in the direction of where that is being developed
thanks
There's a nice app store app you can get from http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-opnmarket.html that contains some of the xda initiatives (along with other developers creations). Otherwise just look through the forums for your device.
And of course there's Microsoft's own 'marketplace' app store for which there should be a 'Marketplace' app already installed on your phone (or you can go to
https://marketplace.windowsphone.com/default.aspx if you want to view it in a web browser (note that it doesn't work well if you're using Opera (despite that being on many flagship windows mobile handsets) - nice one Microsoft ).

Thanks Ian,
just installed Omarket, very impressed with it so far.

Facebook Places for Android?

i know we can go to the mobile site and access places. but when do you guys think that the facebook app for android will update with the new 'places' button for us? soon hopefully?
No one really knows, especially here... They would all be guesses.

"Get the iPhone, Android or Blackberry App" Wait a minute what about Windows Phone?

"Get the iPhone, Android or Blackberry App" Wait a minute what about Windows Phone?
Every time I go somewhere or watch T.V. there is always an app for either the iPhone, Android and even Blackberry but never a Windows Phone app, Why?
because this is the US and nokia hasn't pushed it here yet. it's coming though. More developers are adding windows phone to the list. Especially now that Nokia is a hit in other countries.

mobile search unavailable?

I love the website but have to call y'all out when your mobile app tells me that it's search feature is down. Its almost hard to believe its possible with all the talent that utilizes this web site. Just a heads up you may want to fire a web manager

The search feature goes up and down like a whore's drawers. Not really a problem - you can just use Google to carry out a site specific search if you need something. That's what I do most of the time anyway as I find it to be more accurate (not just for XDA, for for most web forums out there)
As for "Firing someone" - most of the people on here do this for free and as the site doesn't make as much revenue through click-ads and the like, we have to accept the odd glitch from time-to-time as our mobile-phone life would be much worse without this great resource.
Yes the search via the mobile devices can be a challenge. I my self use browsers and the apps.

[Q] Shiftplan (Schichtplaner) for WP7

Hi alltogether !
I've searched the forum, but found nothing, so let me start a new thread.
I'm looking for an app called Shiftplaner (or Schichtplan in German). Does anybody have it (or is able to convert it to) .xap ?
Both english or german would do for me.
I think some of us here work in shifts, so it would be nice to have it to plan some free time...
Thanks for the replies...
Well, for starters this thread should really be in "Windows Phone 7 General" forum.
2nd, is this app available on other platforms? Do you have a link to a website? Marketplace doesn't show any apps by that name that I can find.

Sorry, as You can see, Im new to this forum.
I dont know about Android or iOS, but it is for sure available for WP. Its called "Shiftcalendar" and here is the linl:
http://www.windowsphone.com/de-de/store/app/shiftcalendar/dc765667-38af-4a0f-bd64-17bbe99906c4
German version is called "Schichtplaner" and here is the link:
http://www.windowsphone.com/de-de/store/app/schichtplaner/bae8ca14-4f83-4680-a72e-b470716b29c6
I would buy any of them, but unforunately I dont have any credit card and due to Microsoft restrictions, there is no other way... ((

Sorry, can't help you. You can be banned from the forum making such a request. My idea is this: Try signing up for Bing Rewards, and you might be able to use your rewards points to buy some credit on the Windows Phone Market Place. Not sure if they have a reward for that, but its worth a shot.
