Microsoft’s app store is on the way and we’ll be curios to see if it will be able to outperform Apple’s store. So far we’ve heard mixed news about Marketplace and we’d have to see the actual store to make our own mind. News about it keep coming in and today we have more info about the sharing policy for application purchased from the Marketplace for Mobile. It looks like Microsoft will allow buyers to install the apps on up to five phones. Say you reset your phone, then you will be able to reinstall your favorite Windows Mobile apps at no cost. An other scenario has you sharing the application with four more people. That’s great for us, but what about the developers. Don’t they lose money?

Well here’s what Microsoft says about the whole sharing situation:

Microsoft knows the frustration of losing favorite apps and personal information when you lose, upgrade, or add a phone. For this reason, if you buy an application on Windows Marketplace for Mobile, you’ll be able to reinstall the application on a limited number of additional phones simply and free of charge. As outlined in the terms of use for Windows Marketplace for Mobile, this ability is limited to phones owned by the person who purchased the application. Application sharing is not permitted. We believe people will find a high value in mobile applications they purchase through the Windows Marketplace, and we will also be offering a refund policy that will make it easier to shop for applications with confidence.

So there you have it folks. Microsoft Says NO to application sharing… Everyone should buy their own apps!

Have some fun on your iPhone with the availability of the new thrilling game Johnny Crash. Redesigned for the iPhone and iPod touch, players can use the innovative accelerometer feature to shoot stuntman Johnny Crash out of a cannon and control his movements by tilting the device to send him soaring through the air crashing into helicopters, UFOs, vultures, oil rigs, tornados, lightning storms, and even cattle.

A quick hop over to the website had me browsing through a few pages of feline pictures and laughing to myself, until I remembered that I had a post to finish.  And I am sure many iPhone users wouldn’t say no to an app that would provide easy access to that content plus some other website in the same vein, like the FAIL Blog, Engrish Funny, and so on.  Although not all the videos/pictures are hilarious on icanhascheezburger.com, I am sure some of you will end up having a few laughs.  Great app to while away those times when you have to wait for a table at a restaurant or in the airport waiting to catch a flight.  Available now on App Store at no cost.

The iPhone has been a multi-functional device for games, business apps and even videos. But now it seems to be adding another dimension towards its many uses as a monitoring device for homes that make use of solar energy.

There are homes now that make use of solar power as their main source of energy but the available power generated by these solar panels leaves a lot to be feted on. For one, knowing how much energy is available for use to power up the home is needed and until now, no competent means of measuring that was available.

SunPower Corp. thus unveils a solar power monitoring software that can be used via the iPhone/ iPod Touch. With this new app which is now available at the Apple App Store for free, home owners can now easily evaluate and see the efficiency of their solar cells, panels and system and see if they are functioning accordingly.

“With the SunPower Monitoring System, our customers can optimize their solar investment and save on energy expenses,” said Jan Soderstrom, vice president and chief marketing officer at SunPower Corp. “By monitoring their solar systems online, in-home or via their Apple mobile devices, these tools empower homeowners to track their systems anytime and from practically any location.”

While the 2730 Classic and the 2720 Fold both look great, the Nokia 7020 would definitely turn to be something that the ladies will end up liking more than the other two.  Reminiscent of the Supernova series from Nokia, the 7020 clamshell is a fashion phone that makes use of light, metal, and color to enhance your style points.  There’s a 2-megapixel camera for some casual pictures along with a bright display (internal) to view them on.  The external display has a special “stardust” animation which plays up everytime you get a call and tapping the cover twice lights up the external display to show you time and important information about your cell phone.  We presume this is 3G ready too as the other two devices, but we will let you know when we know.  Available in the fourth quarter of 2009 for 90 Euros ($121).

Like the 2730 Classic, the Nokia 2720 Fold is also an affordable low-ender that packs the same punch in a flip phone form factor.  The handset has 3G support and has a host of other business applications to go with it, including email support, calendar, and filesharing capabilities.  Email can supposedly be activated in three simple steps and Nokia Life Tools makes an appearance here too.  If you are looking for a great-looking cell phone without the heavy price tag, the Nokia 2720 Fold fits the bill in that aspect too, with its mirror finish and its stylish clamshell design.  Look for it drop in the third quarter of 2009 at a throwaway price of 55 Euros ($74).

Ah, yes.  The above statement should have most of our Windows Mobile users scrambling for a download link already, if they are as fanatic as me about Firefox Desktop, so here it is (9.4MB heavy).  But keep in mind that this release has been tested on the HTC Touch Pro only, so if you are installing it on any other device, just beware.  For those who still think Internet Explorer is the only gateway to browse the world on a Windows Mobile, give the Fennec a try and you might just end up liking it.  I just hope they have ideas to enable add-ons (just like the desktop version) when the final version is released.

Reebok makes life easier for the shoe addicts with the release of their app which allows users to customize the shoe design of their liking, somewhat similar to what the Nike website offers to its users. The app named “Your Reebok” allows you to customize your next potential shoes and allows you to order them online.

The only problem is that this Reebok iPhone app is only available in US and UK territories for now. But if this becomes successful (which seems likely), expect it to go global soon!

Here is a great app that parents are bound to want. The iPhone app is the BabyPhone Deluxe, a software that assists parents in monitoring their toddlers. It takes the pain of having to monitor what a baby is doing or when he awakens, alerting parents on what is happening even though they are not beside them.

BabyPhone Deluxe works similar like a standard baby monitor: just switch on the application and place your iPhone / G1 in a distance of 2 to 3 meters to your sleeping baby. The mobile will call the configurable phone number when a sound exceeds an adjustable level. So it is possible to hear everything that is going on in the child’s room.

Also, it can record and help monitor your child’s behavior without the need for your presence. You can leave the BabyRecorder by your child during nighttime which may be helpful should your child have some problems as far as the medical aspect is concerned.

The said app is available at the iTunes App Store for $4.99.

This new iPhone app may well be called the crowd control software, especially if you have a rowdy crowd who just will not listen. The app is the Sound Grenade which incidentally became a hit when it was downloaded over 2 million times.

Sound Grenade from High Gloss Software is one of the most annoying apps that can serve a purpose. It has a very annoying sound that can give anyone a headache if they are not careful. This app became the number one app when it was released at the Android Marketplace.

The brand new Sound Grenade website gives users the opportunity to annoy their friends by sharing the website with them through email, facebook, twitter, bebo or myspace, without having to take the full blast themselves. Users get a chance to share the Sound Grenade experience with anyone, making the famous Sound Grenade frequency only a click away.

Fishing Cactus unveils a zany game for iPhone users that is now available at the Apple App Store. The Equilibrio Lite edition promises to be one crazy game for people who need to know how to defy gravity through a ball that has to go through a wacky array of obstacles to be successful on the game.

And if you think that is the only obstacle you have to deal with wait until you go through the other types of balls that will guide you through the game.

There are 5 types of balls, each with different properties and gameplay characteristics. These include rubber, glass, steel, stone and paper. Levels include obstacles such as spikes and acid that destroy the balls on contact. Tilting your iPhone will allow you to build up momentum to jump obstacles and avoid danger. Part of the challenge, however, is also avoiding shattering your ball, so proper control becomes a major issue and you can’t just speed through each level.
