Hope Solo To Pose Naked? World Cup Star Hints At Nude Photo Shoot On Twitter: "

It appears that the fantasies of many libidinous male soccer fans (and many non fans, presumably) have been answered as the fetching goalkeeper of the U.S. Women’s National Team, Hope Solo, hinted on her twitter account on Tuesday that she will pose naked in the famed “Body Issue” of ESPN The Magazine.

“The Body Issue” features male and female professional athletes posing naked in a tasteful fashion. Last year’s issue had photos of Serena Williams, Dwight Howard and Adrian Peterson in the buck, among many others.

As she recently told The Huffington Post’s Jordan Schultz, Solo has been very busy in recent weeks following the conclusion of the Women’s World Cup, in which her U.S. team was defeated in the final by Japan.

“I flew to LA when most people went home, and I did the media circuit there,” she told The Huffington Post. “I think that’s our responsibility; I need to keep the awareness of the game out there, but I also need to thank our fans.”

Despite the tremendous outpouring of support the team received during the World Cup and the tireless efforts of Solo and her teammates since returning home, the Women’s Professional Soccer League continues to struggle, seemingly unable to carry the World Cup interest over to the domestic league.

Windows Mobile 6.5 on HTC Touch Pro 2 and HTC Ozone for Verizon: "

Verizon Wireless has released the system software upgrades it promised for two of its Windows phones, the HTC Touch Pro2 and HTC Ozone.

HTC Touch Pro2 for VerizonThese devices were released last year with Windows Mobile 6.1, but they can now be upgraded to the latest version of Microsoft’s Mobile operating system.

The HTC Touch Pro2 — a high-end model with a slide-and-tilt WVGA touchscreen and large keyboard — can be upgraded to Mobile 6.5 Professional.

The HTC Ozone — an inexpensive messaging-oriented model with a QVGA display and small keyboard — can be upgraded to to Mobile 6.5 Standard.

More about Windows Mobile 6.5

The latest version of Microsoft’s operating system for high-end phones isn’t a major upgrade. The most significant changes are included in the Professional edition.

This version of Windows Mobile 6.5 is more fingertip friendly, with many on-screen elements enlarged so users can select them without a stylus. Windows Mobile 6.5 also has more of a focus on consumers, as the Today Screen has been modified to include items like a music player and photo viewer.

Both the Standard and the Pro editions come with a new version of Internet Explorer, and have access to Microsoft’s new on-device software store.

An overview of the changes can be found in this article: Windows Mobile 6.5 Review.

Upgrade Now

These system software upgrades are available from the website of Verizon’s partner, PCD:

HTC Touch Pro2

HTC Ozone

Both are free to download and use.

Installing either of these ROM updates will erase everything that’s on the smartphone, so it’s important to back up any files before installation. This doesn’t apply to files that are on a removable memory card.
