Earlier this morning, the Windows Phone 7 emulator was “unlocked” (so to speak), granting anyone with a few spare minutes and basic tinkering abilities an opportunity to get a look at a bunch of stuff Microsoft didn’t originally include.
Not everyone is prepped and ready to get their hack on, though. Maybe you’re on a Mac. Maybe it’s Friday and you just don’t feel like doing anything. Understandable. Fortunately for you, a couple of videos demonstrating all the hacked ROM have been flying around the Intertubes.
The first one comes from PocketNow, who’s had a pretty strong chokehold on this story from the beginning:
The second (and freakishly huge) video comes from the fine folks at TechAU:
10 minutes with Windows Phone 7 simulator unlocked [video] from techAU on Vimeo.
cannot wait to try this emulator out! thanks
So, uh, you realize how lame that image at the top of the post is, right? Non click-able and covering the content that site visitors are interested in seeing. I see you guys using this throughout your site and it is REALLY annoying.
Wow, I can really unlock the phone. I cannot wait to give it a try.
So, as we can see, there’s not many features really working on that simulator preview.
But don’t worry, the OS *will* be ready in time for 2010′s Holidays and the developers will rush in to make lots of application.
