Drive Safely With PPCTechs’s Freedom Mount

Welcome To Freeware Square
To be honest with you, I really had a hard time getting this off the ground. Freeware is a topic that is close to my heart as I’ve always enjoyed how I could expand the features and functions on my Windows Mobile device without spending a dime (save for the donations but that’s another thing). [...]

Review: Bubble Babble — Is Astraware Fishing For Kind Words?

Spb Backup 2.0 Adds Some Much Needed Features
When a company like Spb, which is known for winning multiple awards, does not upgrade an application for a couple of months, you know that something good has to be brewing. Their last version of Backup stopped at 1.6.3 back in November of 2007. Don’t get me wrong. I thought it was great and didn’t [...]
Spb Releases Backup 2.0
Spb has been really quiet with Backup recently (well it’s been for over 6 months if you’re keeping tabs) but it seems that they were working on a completely new version of this very popular backup application. While the interface looks very familiar to seasoned users, don’t be fooled by it. There are a [...]
Pocket IE ‘gets’ mobile browsing
There are new mobile browsers popping up everywhere, all bringing their flavor of desktop browsing to the tiny screen, and it has opened up the majority of the Internet for access by our devices. So then why is getting information from the Internet still so painful using a mobile phone. Like everyone else I [...]

Quad-band GSM / [...]

Instead, they want to help you brighten up your life with the sounds of music by [...]
Google Maps: The Map For Pedestrians
There are many navigational software out there but they do not focus on pedestrians. There are millions of us around the world who still take a bus or train to get from one destination to another and thanks to Google, we’ll soon be able to do it more effectively.

Proporta’s Euro Discount
It seems that Proporta aren’t too happy that England did not qualify for this year’s but that’s not going to stop them from giving away discounts now would it? I myself and not sure how those 2 ideas can be connected but hey, who am I to say no to a discount? Trying to explain [...]
FlexMail 4 Handles All Your Windows Mobile Messaging Needs And More
I actually started using FlexMail around the middle of last year and it was not because I wanted to. Reason was, I was not much of a power user when it came to emails on my Windows Mobile device so I saw no need to invest in a powerful application when Pocket Outlook would [...]
