Shootout: Today Screen Shells
If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
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, [...]
Skyfire Mobile Browser…Now Available To All (almost)!
I am quite a fan of the Skyfire Mobile Browser, having first used it when the initial private beta opened several months ago. Until now, however , Skyfire was only available to a small (but growing) group of private beta testers. I felt funny writing about such a fantastic program, which many of you [...]
Don Your Thinking Cap And Get Ready For Brain My Day From Pocket More Games
Are you sick and tired of all of those brain training games out there? You know the ones that give you some puzzle to solve or numbers to crunch. Do you even care which is the next shape in the pattern anymore? Yeah…that’s what I thought. And so did the folks at Pocket More Games. [...]
Does Proporta Have A Deal For You!
Hey, Kids. Do you know what Saturday is? Well, if you guessed Grandparents’ Day in England, then you would be correct…and also sadly in need of some more time away from the computer.
Seriously, it is Grandparents’ Day in England. I swear, some days I do not know whether these are actually real holidays or [...]
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 [...]
For Your Viewing Pleasure: The HTC Touch HD
Earlier this week, I told you about a new phone from HTC, the Touch HD, which features an immense screen, TouchFlo 3D and a host of other fantastic features. Well, if those specs and pictures were not enough to wet your appetite, then check out this video. It is entirely in French, so most of [...]
Review: Ultimate Ears LoudEnough Earphones
One of the downsides to reviewing so many media players is that my kids love to play with them almost as much as I do. When I reviewed the Sansa View, for example, they spent almost as much time as I did watching videos on it. And don’t even get me started on how [...]
Two More From HTC
[image courtesy of Clinton Fitch (dot)com]
If you thought the Touch HD was the only new phone HTC had to offer…well, you would be wrong. Because they introduced not only one, not even two, but three new phones today. In addition to the Touch HD, which I already told you about, they also introduced the Touch [...]
Introducing the New Touch HD From HTC
Earlier today, HTC announced three new phones: The Touch HD, Touch 3G and Touch Viva Overseas. All are expected to hit the stores this fall. The first of these phones, the HTC Touch HD features a killer 3.8 inch WVGA screen for Internet browsing, entertainment, and gaming. Click the jump for all the exciting [...]
Have A Tilt? Win A Prize At Tilt Mobility!
I just got an email from our good friend Doug Smith, who is the proud owner of his own brand new website, Tilt Mobility. As you may have gathered, Doug (otherwise known as DSmithZ) is avid fan of the AT&T Tilt and HTC Tytn II devices, and has created a site dedicated to providing [...]
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, [...]
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, [...]
Experience Mobility!
This morning, I received a troubling email from our friend, Jack Cook, the owner of Experience Mobility, Microsoft MVP, and all around good guy. It seems his site was hacked recently, and despite his best efforts, Jack simply could not eradicate all of the problems and spam he had been encountering. Jack says:
Sad but [...]
Vito Releases Task2Gather Web Application. Windows Mobile and iPhone Apps to Follow Soon
Several weeks ago, I wrote about the technology preview of a new web based task manager, Task2Gather, from Vito Technology/iWindows Mobile. Today, Vito has announced the official release of their new application, and it looks even better than what I saw in the technology preview.
Task2Gather is a Cloud based application, meaning that all [...]
Windows…Now With More Mobile Than Ever Before
I have to give Microsoft credit. They have rightfully admitted that they were caught pretty much with their pants down when it comes to the Cloud applications. Then again, no one really saw the power of programs like SugarSync, Toodledo and other applications with funny names that allow users to access data from anywhere [...]
The Arcade: A Monthly Roundup of Freeware Games (July 2008)
Here we are, halfway through the summer. Can you believe it is already almost August? Where does the time go? This was a great month for me. We took two vacations to visit each set of Grandparents. That meant I had plenty of time to test out all of this month’s games. And what 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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
