Along with using Zune as your desktop media player, you can employ the software to perform its main task – syncing music and video to your Zune HD or Windows Phone. The process for each is the same – Windows Phone 7 features Zune software in the Music & Videos Hub in much the same way as the iPod features media playing capabilities of the iPod Touch. In order to get started syncing music and videos with your phone, you will first need to make sure you have a copy of the app from www.zune.net; once downloaded, this can be installed. Hooking Up to Zune Client In order

Among the options for media player apps for Windows 7 is the Zune client, intended as a sync tool for Zune and Windows Phone 7 hardware that is also very useful for managing your music, videos and pictures collection.

We don’t think we have to remind you about the HTC HD7 handsets visit to the FCC some time back in October 2010. The device has now got a teardown, thereby revealing the interiors. What we get to see include the Qualcomm SnapDragon processor that would power the device and also the Qualcomm Power Management chip and 16GB SanDisk internal storage. A Samsung SDRAM (we guess it indeed is that) and Broadcom WiFi transceiver have also been revealed. The device, which was originally written about as the HD3, has got the current name thanks to the Windows Phone 7 branding it would

If you’re using a Windows Phone 7 device in a corporate environment, you get the advantage of a piece of mobile hardware that you can sync with an Exchange server. Meanwhile you already have desktop syncing via Microsoft Outlook, giving you a uniform sync across all devices. However it isn’t so easy for Windows Phone 7 owners that don’t have access to Microsoft Exchange, although it is still possible to enjoy a similar email and calendar sync dynamic with the help of your Windows Live account and Outlook Connector. With a Windows Live Hotmail account setup in your desktop

If you’re coming to Windows Phone 7 for the first time, you might be a bit surprised to find a phone that looks quite unlike any other mobile platform on the market. Thanks to the Metro user interface (known as the Metro UI) Windows Phone 7 devices feature a combination of a tile-based approach (which provide access to the various “hubs”) and a similar menu system to that found on Zune HD devices. Combined with some easy to remember gestures, the Metro UI makes Windows Phone 7 an extremely easy-to-use platform. Finding Your Way Around Windows Phone 7 The Start screen on

While on our quest to find more details about the HTC Prime, on which we wrote about a while ago, we stumbled upon yet another HTC cutie. And, honestly, it looked like something capable of igniting our imagination. The phone, named Ignite, could be yet another HTC WP7 device that would come around the same time as the HTC Prime. So that would mean that the phone maker will have a couple of Windows Phone 7 handsets debuting around the same time. XDA has listed this phone as well, along with an alluring picture (posted alongside). However, don’t get too excited yet. The spec
