Shootout: SmartPhone Information Management
If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
It’s Finally Here, The i-mate Ultimate 8502
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, [...]
Freeware Square (July 2008)
One month sure passes by really quickly and before I knew it, another edition of Freeware Square is up and ready to go. In this edition, I have some rather useful applications that would make installing CABs a breeze, better manage resources on your Windows Mobile device, talk with your friends and even geo tag [...]
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 [...]
Look What Arrived In The Mail
Well I’ve been rather quiet with my reviews recently but that’s about to change. Look what came in recently:
For those who can’t decipher what they are from the picture, here’s the list of items I’ll be reviewing starting from next week:
Ted Baker Six Pack From Proporta
Solar Charger for Mobile Devices From Proporta
Night Ize Clip Case [...]
The Arcade: A Monthly Roundup of Freeware Games (June 2008)
Welcome back to the Arcade. I have to admit, June has been a little bit of a crazy month for me. As most of you know, I used to be pretty involved with Just Another Mobile Monday. A few months ago, I left that site, and shortly thereafter, Tariq and I founded My Today Screen. [...]
Review: Palm Heroes v1.03
Trying to combine the various elements of a turn-based strategy (TBS) game with that of a role playing game (RPG) with any level of success is a difficult endeavor for a desktop franchise. Trying to do it in a Pocket PC game seems almost impossible, yet that is exactly what Palm Heroes set out [...]
Review: GooSync. Look…Up In The Clouds….It’s Your Tasks…It’s Your Calendar…It’s GooSync
Not long ago, I decided to see if I could stop using Microsoft Outlook. This was not a knock on Outlook, which I think is a fantastic program. I just wanted a solution which would give me more flexibility in syncing my device. I don’t always get to connect my Mogul to my computer on [...]
The BoxWave Desktop Cradle for the HTC Mogul
So many things in the Windows Mobile world have changed for the better over the past six or so years. The amazing software offerings, the more refined and capable operating system, and certainly the awesome array of hardware from the various wireless carriers and device manufacturers.
But, one thing really bugs me. One particular [...]
The Backup Shootout: Who Will Triumph?
Backup. Something we know we should do but not many of us get down to doing. Until of course disaster strikes and we realize that we should have done this a long time ago. Well I don’t blame you if you’ve not taken the first step because it took me the same data wipeout lesson [...]
Review: The Plantronics Voyager 855 Stereo Bluetooth Headset
For the last eight months, if you had asked me to name the one item I absolutely had to review, the answer would have been simple. The Plantronics Voyager 855. I mean, I read the website, I saw the press release. This is the one I have been waiting for. It feature:
a mono headset [...]
Drive Safely With PPCTechs’s Freedom Mount
One of the most important things a driver can have in his car is a mount for his phone. That’s my opinion but I’ll tell you why. Not many of us turn off our phones when we start to drive. And when it rings, how many of us can resist the urge to just [...]
Welcome To Freeware Square
To be honest with you, I really had a hard time getting this off the ground. Freeware is a topic that is close to my heart as I’ve always enjoyed how I could expand the features and functions on my Windows Mobile device without spending a dime (save for the donations but that’s another thing). [...]
Review: Bubble Babble — Is Astraware Fishing For Kind Words?
They say that if stand in the surf at just the right time of day, you can actually hear the ocean talking to you. As the waves crash against the sand and rocks, many have claimed to hear a sort of singing or speaking in the undercurrents, calling them out to sea. Of course, [...]
Spb Backup 2.0 Adds Some Much Needed Features
When a company like Spb, which is known for winning multiple awards, does not upgrade an application for a couple of months, you know that something good has to be brewing. Their last version of Backup stopped at 1.6.3 back in November of 2007. Don’t get me wrong. I thought it was great and didn’t [...]
FlexMail 4 Handles All Your Windows Mobile Messaging Needs And More
I actually started using FlexMail around the middle of last year and it was not because I wanted to. Reason was, I was not much of a power user when it came to emails on my Windows Mobile device so I saw no need to invest in a powerful application when Pocket Outlook would [...]
Aliph Kicks The Jawbone Up Another Notch
When Aliph released the first Jawbone, it generated quite a buzz. Touted as THE headset to have, thanks to its military grade noise-cancellation technology, everyone wanted to get their hands on it. One could now make calls and carry out conversations in places that used to be impossible to do so. Alas, the headset did [...]
