Here's a few pieces that we missed over the past week...

• EPDetect have released a free Windows Mobile application which detects epileptic seizures and has the ability to alert the suferer's carer - if any piece of software is ever worthy of a donation, this certainly is!
  
• Yet more builds of WM6.5 have leaked. The default contacts app has been updated in build 23412 and..er...23052 is out and about also.
  
• DKing7 over on XDA has been busy producing some really nice WVGA wallpapers.
  
• Clove Technologies have announced they will have stock of the WM6.5, Snapdragon powered Acer F1 on October 6th for around £348.45 including shipping and tax. They will also be stocking the E1, C1 and L1.
  
• Developer eeenno has released Speed Reader for Windows Mobile, a Google reader app with support for sharing feed items via Twitter.
  
• The ai.rs blog has a nice extended video of the upcoming HTC Leo (Pro Three).
  
  Finally, here's a round-up of some cool TF3D hacks that have been floating around. Please note, although some of these may appear rom/resolutions specific, if you dig around on XDA, you will/may find an alternative to suit your needs.
  

  • XDA member mwalt2 released a panoramic wallpaper hack to give TF3D that "andorid" feel.
    
  • XDA member netdrg released Manilla TV Player, a TF3D hack which allows you to launch video streams from a TF3D tab!
    
  • XDA member rotastrain has not only released a hack to retract the TF3d slider but also one to make TF3d fullscreen and another to give you a vertical slider!
    
  • XDA member amnepoh released an app which allows you to change your TF3D wallpaper automatically on schedule.
    
  • XDA member TinTin found that by disabling push internet in TF3D, you have re-claim 10MB of memory!
    
  • PPCGeeks member heartisall modified Manilla TV Player to allow it to be used with Orb.
