Techcrunch.com Says Porn Most Popular Windows Phone Apps

The distinct lack of 3^rd party app development for Microsoft’s Windows Phones is making porn apps the device’s go-to feature. According to TechCrunch.com, although the phones include apps from all the most popular developers like Facebook, Twitter and Angry Birds, Spotify, Rdio and Reddit, the rest are older shareware circa Windows 95.

Oops? Samsung Galaxy Table Banned Again!?

UPDATE!! The behemoth that is Apple has won another temporary injunction to stop rival Samsung from selling its Galaxy tablet computer in Australia. On Wednesday – just 2 days ago – we reported that the Federal Court had lifted a previous injunction, meaning Samsung could start selling its Galaxy Tab 10.1 at 4pm (AEDT) today. But Apple later launched an appeal to the High Court. The injunction means Samsung cannot sell the tablet computer until the case goes before the court on December 9.
