Need A Larger Screen? Clinton Has Something For You
To consider that is. It’s called the Celio RedFly. Not much was known about this device when it was first announced but that’s about to change as more and more sites get their hands on it. One such site is ClintonFitch.com. He’s just reviewed this device which provides you with a higher resolution in the [...]
Experience Mobility!
This morning, I received a troubling email from our friend, Jack Cook, the owner of Experience Mobility, Microsoft MVP, and all around good guy. It seems his site was hacked recently, and despite his best efforts, Jack simply could not eradicate all of the problems and spam he had been encountering. Jack says:
Sad but [...]
Opera Updates 9.5 Beta 1
Just under 2 weeks after releasing what could be the most anticipated software for the Windows Mobile platform, Opera has gone out and released an update to Beta 1.

All About The Samsung Omnia
This is one really great phone and there’s been a lot of news about it this past week. So much so that rather than doing a headline for each one, I decided to consolidate them all into this one post.
For starters, the::unwired has found out that the Samsung Omnia variants [...]
Windows…Now With More Mobile Than Ever Before
I have to give Microsoft credit. They have rightfully admitted that they were caught pretty much with their pants down when it comes to the Cloud applications. Then again, no one really saw the power of programs like SugarSync, Toodledo and other applications with funny names that allow users to access data from anywhere [...]

However, ever since that announcement, [...]

The Arcade: A Monthly Roundup of Freeware Games (July 2008)
Here we are, halfway through the summer. Can you believe it is already almost August? Where does the time go? This was a great month for me. We took two vacations to visit each set of Grandparents. That meant I had plenty of time to test out all of this month’s games. And what a [...]

TyTN II/Tilt 3D Drivers Are Now Available
I guess we can forget about HTC ever solving this problem on the TyTN II/Tilt devices so it’s up to the community to come up with a solution. And come up they did. The Direct3D drivers are still in infancy stage and they’re still working to see how well [...]

Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta 1: 24 Hours Later
My initial impressions of Opera 9.5 Beta 1 was rather pleasant, no errors or problems on my part, save for those the developers already knew about (like no ActiveX) and I was rather happy with the application, for a beta 1 version that is.
Well it’s been just over 24 hours since I played around [...]

First Impressions Of Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta 1
So Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta 1 is finally upon us and I was pretty excited about it. Up till now, I had been flip flopping between Opera Mini 4.1 and Skyfire 0.6 beta. Both had their pros and cons; I loved Opera Mini for the ability to give an overview of the site and double [...]
