A recent post from Digitimes suggests that Windows Phone 7 Tango update would go live in March or April, based on Microsoft’s roadmap for Windows Phone outlined in a rumor.

The Tango updates are believed to be adding support for true native apps, more languages, lower memory requirements, and support for lower resolutions to cater to a primarily Asian demand for cheaper models. WP8/Apollo would More >
Apple Removes Flagrant Copycat Apps From AppStore
0February 4, 2012
Apple has removed a number of copycat apps that mimicked the titles of successful games after they provoked a public outcry from developers over the issue.

The British newspaper The Guardian has even recently published a profile on Anton Sinelnikov, the coder behind a number of the fake apps — one of which, Temple More >
