Congrats Christian Hood, 17, and Eric Lo, 16, from the Beastware team, who created this game and won the whole Imagine Cup 2010! You can see Eric demo the game in the video. It’s a game for both Windows Phone 7 and Windows, controlled either by the accelerometer in the phone, or a Wii Remote connected to the computer.

These guys also received a brand new Windows Phone 7 developer phone, that looks like the modified Samsung i8910 phone Microsoft has previously used to demo WP7.


In the video you can see a Samsung Omnia HD i8910 running 62 applications simultaneously. This is done with a hacked firmware, which has 194MB free RAM at boot-up.

The hacked Symbian S60 firmware is called: HX-V4-Speed-SE.

Check out the video after the break.


Samsung has finally released the long awaited firmware update (JB1) for the i8910 HD phone. The update brings kinetic scrolling to most parts of the interface, and a faster web experience. The update is available via Samsung’s PC Studio 7. As with all Samsung updates, you have to make a full backup before continuing, since there is no user data protection, and the firmware will wipe clean all data on the phone. After the update you will be able to restore your files from the backup, but all applications will be lost.

Quite a good update, but there is one stupid thing. After the firmware, you only have 16.9MB free space on C:. This is nearly half of the amount that was before the update, and WILL cause users problems. Symbian will start to nag you when there is under 10MB free.

Check out the full changelog after the break.
