When it comes to taking notes on-the-fly, I will generally grab for a piece of paper and a pen. But why? I mean, I always have my trusty mobile device in my pocket and it has Microsoft’s Note app [...]

Sony Ericsson’s XPERIA X1 Delayed Till 2009?
Earlier this week, we had mentioned that Vodafone would be the very first carrier in the world to carry SE’s first Windows Mobile device. The release was slated for October but new reports are now coming up that a delay would push that date further back to December [...]
Smartphone & Pocket PC Magazine Stops The Presses
I received some sad news today from Hal Goldstein, the Publisher of Smartphone and Pocket PC Magazine. It seems that this fall will mark the end of the run for the only magazine which was completely dedicated to the Windows Mobile platform. According to Goldstein, they decided to suspend publication after 11 years, because:
It [...]
The Arcade: A Monthly Roundup of Freeware Games (August 2008)
So, here it is, the end of August, and I find myself sitting in the cool dark mornings wondering where my summer has gone. Not only did the past few months just fly by, but it has also been unusually cool here in August. At times, it has felt almost fall-like in the morning. So, [...]
Sony Ericsson’s XPERIA X1 Coming To T-Mobile?
It’s anybody’s guess right now because the only carrier who is confirmed to carry this powerful device is Vodafone though I sure wish that T-Mobile would pick it up as well. Wishes do come true and this is the reason why:

AIM For Windows Mobile Out Of Beta
One of the great things about many of the Windows Mobile devices are the built-in keyboards that make them perfect messaging platforms. AOL has finally brought their updated AIM client out of beta. Keep up with your friends the old fashioned way, instant messages. [...]
We Get You There - The Navigation Shootout
Time for another shootout, people, are you ready? Two men enter… I mean, two programs go feature to feature, we pick a winner, you run and buy it… I mean, you sensibly decide which one is right for you.
This month our contestants make choosing relatively easier since they are free services. As long as you [...]
HTC To Make Palm Treo Pro
I knew something was interesting when it was revealed that the Palm Treo Pro would be using the HTC Task Manager feature. It turns out that HTC is the ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) for the Palm Treo Pro. In my opinion, this is a huge win for Palm and anyone that buys a [...]

Review: Etymotic Cuts the Cords With The Ety 8 Wireless Headphones
I have been tracking Bluetooth headphones for almost as long as I have been using mobile devices. Shortly after I got my Axim x50v, I purchased a pair of Motorola Bluetooth headphones. They were big and ugly, but they sure did sound good…or maybe they didn’t. The point was, they were wireless. Since that time, [...]
Diamonds Boast Capacitive Surface
This seems to be a rather disturbing trait of HTC: to include something good inside the device but not use it at all. Last year, it was the lack of video graphics drivers on the Tilt that caused the ‘mother-of-all-device’ to draw graphics even slower than an O2 Mini which was at least 3 years [...]

Fancy The New Treo Pro?
Well here’s a video for you from the good folks over at SlashGear:
If that’s not enough, here’s a few more (press) shots of the Treo Pro. Sure looks like a device I would like to own. Though the choices for front QWERTY keyboard Windows Mobile devices being less than the fingers on my hand, it’s [...]
Review: Papyrus 2.0 For Smartphones
In a world of Windows Mobile, most of the focus lately has been on all of the new Windows Mobile Professional devices and the software that is dressing up the dated OS. It is nice to see that our friends over that SBSH Mobile Software are still keeping the Smartphone (Windows Mobile Standard) [...]
