Microsoft might have struck a deal with Nokia, making it their
favorite hardware manufacturer, but HTC hasn’t given up on
Windows Phone 7 by any means. The latest proof of HTC’s
commitment to the metro platform is the spike in apps released
for Mango and the renovated HTC Hub (which has lost its excess
graphics and added greater functionality). HTC Dock Mode,
available in the HTC app zone of the Marketplace, is a free app
that essentially turns your phone into a side-table clock and
music player in the time that it’s charging or not in use. The
app is particularly useful if you have a charging dock for your
HTC Windows Phone or your phone has a kick stand (like the HD7)
. Although the app is called Dock Mode, your device doesn’t
necessarily have to be docked to use this app. All you need is
an HTC device running on Mango and you’ll be able to use this
app.
Dock Mode is a cross between a cosmetic app and a utility. The
app has beauty and just for that, might warrant a download for
some users. But if you are not one to go for mere looks, you
should know it has some pretty useful functions to offer too.
You can think of Dock Mode as an alternative lock screen for
your phone.

Weather And Clock Widget
Automatically detecting your current location (if you allow it
to, of course), the app displays the current temperature in your
area. This temperature reading is grouped with HTC’s trademark
digital flip-clock widget. You can switch between two levels of
screen brightness at which Dock Mode runs by tapping on the sun
icon at the bottom of the screen.
Music Player
The app includes a widget for music too. The widget’s interface
matches that of the stock Windows Phone 7 music app. The music
is, of course, from your phone’s library.
Photo Frame
The app lets you use your HTC WP7 as a photo frame which will
keep playing a slideshow of photos from the Pictures Hub. Like
the rest of the app, this option works both in landscape and
vertical mode. You can alter the slideshow speed and the source
folder of the pictures. You can even customize animation styles
from within the app’s settings. Alternatively, you may tap
anywhere on the screen while the slideshow is playing to access
its settings.
