Hooray! One of our favorite "brain games" has made a triumphant return to Windows Phone 7: Brain Evolution 2 by SPB software. SPB said Windows Phone 7 was an option just a few weeks ago. Guess they weren't kiddin'. It just went live in the Marketplace and fetches for $4.99, which is on the high end for a non-Xbox LIVE game these days. Still, we've always really liked this game so we're...
SPB Software was a major developer on the Windows Mobile front but with the design of Windows Phone 7, we haven't seen any transition by SPB to WP7. Earlier we reported that SPB was waiting to see demand from users first. Still curious as to whether or not Windows Phone 7 was on SPB's drawing board, we decided to reach out to the developer and received the following response from SPB...

SPB Software has updated their Windows Mobile user interface, Mobile Shell, and inches ever so slightly towards the anticipated release of Mobile Shell 5.0 (which seems to have gone missing).

For those of you who like free things, especially when they used to cost money then SPB will make your day. They upgraded their SPB TV software to 2.0 and in turn, made it freeware (previously it was $14.99). See a review of the older version here. Well, it does play a mini-ad before your program starts, so more like a Hulu-method sans the cool content. A lot of it is local stations and...
For you fans of SPB Mobile Shell out there, we're pleased to report that good things are coming in Version 5.0. They're not quite ready for you yet, but they're coming this year. The 3D animations are as smooth as butter, and the video doesn't do justice to how nice it looks on a screen as large as the HTC HD2. Peep the video after the break.

We’ve all heard it before; some well-meaning friend or relative made some comment to you that playing video games would turn your brain to mush (or some variation of that phrase). Not all video games are completely void of redeeming value however. SPB has a couple of games that are actually pretty decent about exercising various brain cells. Coincidentally, both have been updated...

One of the major benefits of having a mobile device is the ability to stay connected and have instant communication in many different forms. One problem that can come up with the relatively small devices that we carry is actually getting access to the vast amount of information that is available on the Internet. Every once in a while, evolutions in separate technologies sync up and...
One of the big selling points of Windows Mobile at this point is the amount of choice you have when you are looking to buy a device. Whereas some of Microsoft’s competitors in the Smartphone market are pushing one piece if hardware on one carrier, you can find Windows Mobile phones in all shapes and sizes on your carrier of choice.
