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 [...]
Ask The Reader: What’s On Your Today Screen?
To TouchFLO or not to TouchFLO? That has been my question over the past week. I have not used a Windows Mobile phone that had TouchFLO 3D until I picked up the Fuze last week, so I wanted to give it a shot. Other than the AT&T bloatware, most of the screens are useful and [...]
SPB Online: Your News And Entertainment Portal And Much More
One of the complaints about Windows Mobile is the user experience. Many people have commented that, while it does have a familiar look and feel to a Windows desktop, that it is not the type of mobile OS that a new user can just pick up and get the full experience out of. Lately we [...]

The Spb-Toshiba Team-up
I was rather surprised when I got this email in my inbox. While it’s not rare for software companies to have their products packaged with new devices, it was in this case. This is not like those times when you buy an ETEN Glofiish M800 and receive a copy of Spb Mobile Shell. Or [...]
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 [...]
The Windows Mobile Missionary, Issue IV: The Beauty and the Beast, or, Are Powerful Smartphones Just for Boys?
This edition of the Windows Mobile Missionary demonstrates the wisdom of the old adage: you can’t judge a book by its cover.
Are men more techno-geeky than women when it comes to their Smartphones?
I think so.
But, the reason that I ask this is because in my experience, Windows Mobile Smartphones tend to be carried by [...]
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 [...]
Spb Releases Backup 2.0
Spb has been really quiet with Backup recently (well it’s been for over 6 months if you’re keeping tabs) but it seems that they were working on a completely new version of this very popular backup application. While the interface looks very familiar to seasoned users, don’t be fooled by it. There are a [...]
Shootout: Weather Applications
Here it is. High Noon at the MTS Corral. We’re standing at the crossroads in the center of town. Ahead of us, the doors to the saloon swing open as our first competitor strides into the street…Fizz Weather. The wind starts to blow gently, just enough for a tumbleweed to kick up some dust on [...]
