This Browser’s Gonna BOLT You Off Your Feet
When it comes to browsers on Windows Mobile, the native Pocket Internet Explorer is commonly replaced by a plethora of choices. Names such Opera & Opera Mini’ the highly regarded Skyfire, the upcoming Iris and the not to be forgotten NetFront are just some of the more popular choices when it comes to replacing [...]
The HTC Touch HD Review – Part I
Wow! This took a whole lot longer than I expected to come up with but it’s now in its final stages that I can start posting the earlier parts for your reading pleasure and hopefully serve as a good reference for those of you thinking of getting one. So if you are wondering if [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Palm Treo Pro: Windows Mobile Done Right
It was a sad day when I recently had to send the Palm Treo Pro review unit back. I spent several weeks using it as my primary and secondary device to see how it would fit in with my mobile lifestyle. I was able to match the Treo Pro up against the Samsung Epix, AT&T [...]

Thanks for all your suggestions!
The Arcade: A Monthly Roundup of Freeware Games (November 2008)
As much as I hate this time of year with the cold, wet, dark weather, I am encouraged that one of my favorite holidays is upon us. Of course, I am talking about Thanksgiving. For our non-US readers, Thanksgiving is the remembrance of how the early settlers were saved by the Native Americans who showed [...]
First Look: Palm Treo Pro
The Palm Treo Pro is a device that I have been waiting to get my hands on ever since it was leaked a couple of months ago. I have been a fan phones with a front-facing QWERTY keyboard and the Treo line has always been one of my favorites. I used the Treo 600 and [...]
Review: VITO Task2Gather
VITO Technology recently announced their Task2Gather client for Windows Mobile devices. Task2Gather is a task management system that has been available for free on the web and also via their iPhone app. It is a simple, yet powerful way to keep up with projects, lists, tasks, and many other things you can think of. I [...]
Awaiting Your Next Command
Bluetooth headsets are a dime a dozen that it’s sometimes hard for companies to set themselves apart from the competition. Plantronics went for the beauty aspect on their 925 and Aliph focused on military grade noise-reduction technology for the Jawbones. BlueAnt decided to go back to basics and focused on the primary reason we [...]
The Arcade: A Monthly Roundup of Freeware Games (October 2008)
Well, here we are…October. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate October? I mean sure, my boys and I get to dress up like superheroes and run around scaring people and begging for candy. But other than that, this is one of my least favorite months. This is the time when summer gives way [...]
AT&T Drops the Epix, I Pick It Up!
I have been contemplating a new phone to replace my aging Tilt and I finally took the plunge. I called around to find out if any local stores has the Samsung Epix in stock and one of our local AT&T stores had one, so I rushed over and picked it up yesterday.
Shootout: Today Screen Shells
Ever since the advent of the iPhone, it seems that there has been a race among developers to, “fix” the traditional Windows Mobile interface. Users who were once happy with the traditional menu and today screen driven Windows Mobile, suddenly are demanding something far different. Something that is finger friendly and icon driven. Something that [...]
Join Proporta’s Facebook Page
And get 12% off their new and nice cases for the iPod family. Promotion ends October 31st so you’d definitely want to do this one quickly. I wished they had included some Windows Mobile love as well (please Proporta?) but even without it, you should still give some thoughts to joining their page. So would [...]
Experiences With The HP iPAQ 910 Business Manager
When it comes to device reviews, I tend to get very in depth about a product as I try to cover as many aspects of it as possible. Same goes for the HP iPAQ 910 where Part I introduced the device, Part II covered it’s hardware and Part III the software. However, no review [...]
Shootout: Battle Of The Bluetooth Headsets
With more and more laws coming into effect requiring users to use a handsfree device while driving, making a decision as to which one to get can be a rather daunting task. The last thing you want to see is flashing red lights in your rear view mirror and then being slapped with a fine [...]
Software Packed Into The HP iPAQ 910
As we move into the third installment of the review, I hope you are enjoying it as much as I had doing it. Software has always been the make or break point for any platform. There are those who prefer manufacturers putting useful software and then there are those who prefer the bare minimum. In [...]
Coming To A Large Screen Near You
When it comes with watching videos, I leave it to the large screens. At the very least, I want to watch them on my 15” widescreen laptop. Better if I hook that laptop up to a plasma and watch it there. While my Glofiish X500, and many other portable media players for that matter, [...]
The Arcade: A Monthly Roundup of Free Games (September 2008)
It is hard to believe that summer is already starting to turn to fall. I have been noticing lately that the mornings are a little crisper…and a whole lot darker when I leave for work. Pretty soon mowing the lawn will give way to raking leaves. In fact, my kids have already started talking about [...]
Taking A Closer Look At The HP iPAQ’s 910 Hardware
One of the things that people usually say when I show them the HP iPAQ 910 Business Manager Pocket PC is “Is that a BlackBerry?” If I got a penny for every time someone said that (and a nickel if they asked if that was the new BlackBerry Bold), it have paid for a nice, [...]
