Not since the beta of Skyfire has an application been so anticipated in 2008. I’m talking about Opera Mobile for Windows Mobile 9.5 Beta 1. It’s THE browser me (and a whole load of others) are waiting for no thanks to the many promises we’ve been given about it: it’ll be the best browser for [...]

Shootout: SmartPhone Information Management
For the shootout this month I thought we should give the SmartPhone fans a little love. I would probably agree that the SmartPhone market is declining and most of the focus of Windows Mobile is on the Professional side of the house, but it is still hard to beat the size and portability of a [...]
Review: Plantronics Discovery 925 BT Headset – Can You Hear Me Now?
OK. Confession time. When I first read about this headset, I truly had no intention of reviewing it. I had just finished reviewing the Plantronics Voyager 855 BT Stereo Headset, and I had quite frankly been terribly disappointed by one of the centerpieces of the headset, AudioIQ. AudioIQ is Plantronics’ version of isolating your [...]
iWindowsMobile Suite Now At v1.5; Makes An Important Change Thanks To You The Readers
Remember I told you in my Winterface Review that I had earlier reviewed iWindowsMobile’s Communication Suite as well? In that review, I mentioned that the weakest application, which happened to be the core application, was GoodWin. Well, VITO has now updated that Communication Suite and it was because of comments made by you, readers [...]
Unboxing The i-mate Ultimate 8502
The i-mate Ultimate 8502 is a really great device on paper. 256MB ROM, 128MB RAM, full front QWERTY keyboard, video-out capabilities, Qualcomm 400MHz CPU and even built-in GPS. When it first announced, a lot of us were actually impressed by it. How could i-mate fit so many features into a small device? Wait a [...]

Samsung Omnia Or HTC Diamond? Which Would You Choose?
Apple fanatics and sheep those who like to follow the crowd sure have it easy. When the iPhone launched, they didn’t have a choice (save for whether they wanted a contract or not). Now, they only have to choose between an 8GB and 16GB version, not really [...]
We’re Now Open For Business
My Today Screen seems to have a knack of picking launch dates that coincide with other big events. For one, when we decided to launch this site on April 1st 2008, we later found out that Microsoft decided to launch Windows Mobile 6.1 on the said date as well. We didn’t plan for it. It [...]

PPC Techs: Hey, My Today Screen Readers, How About Some Accessories
If you are a mobile enthusiast (and who among us is not) then you have certainly heard of and probably used accessories from PPC Techs. I first heard of them shortly after I got my Axim x50v, when I saw them advertising their Axim memory upgrade. I remember rushing off to ask if this [...]
Ilium Releases eWallet 6.1
With us spending so much time on the internet nowadays, it can be really tough remembering all those passwords and login credentials. But those are not just the important details you need handy. Have you ever been in a situation where you needed a card but had left it at home. If only you had [...]

So after a couple of months of trying to get hold of an i-mate Ultimate 8502, it has finally arrived. I’ve ben wanting to get a front QWERTY keyboard Windows Mobile device for quite some time now but the number of options I had very very limited. Well now that the 8502 is finally [...]

Winterface Review
When I reviewed VITO’s iWindowsMobile’s Communication Suite some time back, I was rather impressed with what they’ve managed to put together that integrates so well to give the user a wonderful experience on their Windows Mobile device. However, I felt that one component of the suite, GoodWin, which was a task switcher and launcher, [...]
Bored With Windows Interface? Here’s Winterface
If you’re a big fan of VITO, you would have noticed that there was a big question mark at the bottom right of their iWindowsMobile page with the words ‘Coming Soon’ just below it. Well wonder no because on this day, VITO has finally released the last installment of their iWindowsMobile to complete their [...]

Review: Resco Brain Games – Like Crunches For The Brain
Most of you know that I am a pretty big fan of playing games on my Windows Mobile device. Heck, probably half of my reviews are game-related. While a lot of these games are fantastic, it is pretty rare to find a game that can actually make you a better person. Then, about a [...]
Fancy Some Fireworks From Proporta?
Well they’re not extending business into new territory so those of you looking to get some for your July 4th celebrations will have to look elsewhere. But fireworks alone will not make a memorable celebration (though they do help) so Proporta, doing what they do best, is extending a great deal:
Get 15% off all [...]
