WP7 uses PC's network connection

Something really cool on WP7 I discovered today - it may already have been public knowledge for others but I really find it so so cool in order to go around an already documented flaw in that WP7 does not connect to WIFI using static IP Addresses.

The thing I just discovered is that when the phone is connected to your PC/Laptop, the apps that require network data access actually use your PC's network connectivity. Which I find really awesome. So you could easily configure your laptop to use WIFI via a static IP address and then connect your phone to it - and bombs away!

Still waiting for the 'updating' update....

Window Phone 7 Update anytime now

Woo! Hoo! - Windows phone 7 updates will begin trickling in as from today, just seen an article elaborating this. the first update should pop-up on your phone anytime now. it is not the copy-paste update but one to aid in the software update process, this is what they put on their website:

"We made some improvements to the way we deliver software updates to ensure that the process keeps working smoothly for you."

OK- its not the NODO update, but in the next 2-3 weeks we should be able to see changes on our phones - this is exciting.
