Windows Phone Device Manager & TouchXperience for WP7 are currently in development and beta testing, it is not publicly available yet and I don't accept more beta testers, but donators who wish to take part in beta testing just have to register and let me know their username via the contact form so I can include them to beta testers group. Former beta testers already have access to those betas and new beta testers also get access to the private betas of all my upcoming apps.

Because I was bored getting hundreds of emails from people asking me to send them WP Device Manager so they can continue to use pirated applications, and because there will be a short term solution for homebrews, I decided not to include my jailbreak tool. I respect other developers and I don’t want to be responsible for piracy, I’ve been contacted by Brandon Watson from Microsoft and I wish to be involved in the official homebrew support on Windows Phone.
TouchXperience Beta 1 is publicly available for download. This is for testing purpose only, this version is not intended for daily use. There are still a lot of compatibility issues, I can't assist everyone and I have enough feedback from beta testers so if you have problems to make TouchXperience properly working on your device it is useless to contact me excepted if you are a registered user. Support is only available to registered users and they don't have warning message at TouchXperience startup. Registered users are beta testers, donators and other contributors of TouchXperience project, you are still welcome if you are willing to contribute.
Now that a first beta version is available since last week, I invite all the beta testers to share their impression with the community on the newly created TouchXperience Facebook page.
Many of you ask me how to become beta tester, unfortunately TouchXperience beta testing is closed at the moment and I have enough qualified beta testers. But contributors are still welcome to join beta testing group, so if you contributed in any of my projects or if you are willing to donate and wish to be beta tester, feel free to contact me and I will send you instructions about how to download TouchXperience and participate in beta testing.
Keep in mind that your donations are really important for the project because I need to invest in different device models, so I can work to port TouchXperience on those devices. Thank you!

This is a short demonstration of the new hardware accelerated graphic engine and some other nice features of TouchXperience, like G-Scrolling and multi-touch.

My other softwares which are currently in beta will be publicly available in february/march.
