It was only a couple of days ago that we saw Infobar, which looked like a more tweakable version of Windows Phone 7. Now the creator of LauncherPro, Federico Carnales, is creating a Windows Phone 7 music player look-a-like called Fede Music. The look and feel of Windows Phone 7 is quite stunning and we’re…
Sprint, who has been very opposed to the AT&T and T-Mobile deal since its announcement, now wants California and West Virginia to follow Louisiana’s lead in putting the deal under some scrutiny.
