aGPS: Only Great When Supported
Otherwise, you’re better off using plain ol’ GPS.
I learnt this the hard way yesterday when I decided to take the Touch HD out for a navigational spin. Having TomTom all set up and running, I wanted to see if the lag issue (which will be discussed in another article) was as bas as some [...]
Protecting Data with Encryption
Smartphones have gone from being a novelty to an essential business and mobile tool. They not only allow users to access the Internet from anywhere, but they can also be used to view PowerPoint presentations, write and review documents, and receive email. While portability makes the gadgets popular, it also makes them easier to [...]
There’s a MobileHeist Going On

Titles like Pocket Informant and Resco Explorer 2008 should already be on your device but if they aren’t, now’s the best time for you to get them at 50% off the [...]
I Hate My Fuze, I Love My Fuze
I have been saying this over and over again since I got my HTC Fuze…
The Fuze is one of the flagship devices for AT&T and really the entire Windows Mobile Professional brand right now. It has all of the bells and whistles just like the AT&T Tilt did when it was released. To some, it [...]
Christmas Gift Idea: Gift Cards
It’s not original but it’s still a great gift idea this Christmas: gift cards from our store. They’re so easy to get and you can send them to those near and far. Unlike most gift cards, you get an option of which one to choose:
Product Specific Cards
So you know what kind of software they’ve [...]
A Great Backup Just Got Better
When I was first asked to review Resco Backup, I was rather hesitant because I was so comfortable with Spb Backup. It had been a great solution for me, backing up promptly at 2 every morning and restoring my files reliably as well when the time came. But I did give it a shot [...]
The Arcade Greatest Hits 2008
This is going to be a bitter sweet post for me. First the sweet. What can I say, I love bringing you free stuff, and The Arcade has given me an opportunity to do that on a monthly basis for over two years now. And today, we are not just going to look at any [...]
Windows Mobile Worthless?
So thinks Gizmodo. You might have read about how they were biased in their browser wars. Word got to them and they redid it with more powerful devices and included Opera Mini 9.5 beta this time around. But what bothered me was this:
If you haven’t noticed in our reviews of Windows Mobile phones, we’ve [...]
Boy, Do I Miss The Touch HD
Yeah, I no longer have the HTC Touch HD with me but that’s a temporary situation right now because I’ve sent it over to the guys at ZAGG to apply an Invisible Shield. It’s a military-grade clear plastic that is wrapped around the device to protect it from scratches. Just how good is the protection? [...]
Unboxing The HTC Touch HD
Sorry it took so long. A slow computer, a busy work week couple with lack of experience with video editing all played a part in getting this unboxing video of the HTC Touch HD out. But now that it’s up on YouTube, fire away with your comments and tests you would like to see being [...]
Gizmodo Uses PIE For Browser Comparison…Does Anyone Still Use PIE?
Really Gizmodo? Pocket Internet Explorer and Opera Mobile 8.65 are the two browsers you choose to use in your mobile web browser comparison? I use an iPhone, and yes, Safari is a nice browser…when it isn’t crashing every 5 minutes. The instability of Safari on my iPhone still makes me think that it is in [...]
Fuze Owners: How Is Your Reception?
I have been waiting for the Fuze/Touch Pro since it was announced. So naturally, when it finally launched on AT&T, I picked one up on launch day. In general, I find that it is a great Windows Mobile device with an amazing screen. All is not so good though…the signal strength is absolutely horrible. I [...]
Do You Skyfire?
If not, why not? It’s improved by leaps and bounds since it made it’s debut back in February this year. Pocket Internet Explorer 6 may not be coming to current Windows Mobile devices but that’s nothing to cry about when you are using Skyfire.
This great browser works just like Opera Mini in the sense that [...]
