AIM For Windows Mobile Out Of Beta

AIM_SignOn

One of the great things about many of the Windows Mobile devices are the built-in keyboards that make them perfect messaging platforms. AOL has finally brought their updated AIM client out of beta. Keep up with your friends the old fashioned way, instant messages. This should also let you save some money if you have a pay-per-text plan.

Check out the latest features in AIM for Windows Mobile:

Best-in-Class Experience
It’s easy to get started with AIM for Windows Mobile. Send and respond to IMs and seamlessly manage multiple conversations. Even illustrate your point with emoticons – just like you do on the desktop.
Real-time Status Updates
Customize your AIM status with a special message, or update your presence – Available, Away, or Invisible – whenever you’re on the move.
Manage your Contacts
View and manage your Buddy List and Buddy Groups. See your friends’ buddy icons and check their availability before you IM them. Or add a new buddy wherever you are.

There plenty of instant messaging options for Windows Mobile, but this one is straight from the source…and free. Hit up the download page on your computer or visit http://wap.aol.com on your phone to get the latest version of AIM for Windows Mobile.

Tweak Your Windows Mobile Professional Device With Advanced Configuration Tool 3.0

One of the best things about Windows Mobile devices is the level of customization they are capable of. One thing that can intimidate some users is that a lot of the customizations require registry editing. There are a handful of applications that take the pain out of these customizations by automating registry changes into a user-friendly application. The Advanced Configuration Tool is one of the great options…and the price is right, free! Advanced Configuration Tool was recently upgraded to version 3.0 to make it even more powerful and compatible with more devices.

Check out some of the updates in version 3.0:

  • AdvConfigTool More than 200 settings
  • Better device compatibility
  • Added Export settings using provisioning XML
  • Added Import settings from provisioning XML files with .XML extension
  • Added HTC TouchFLO 3D customization
  • Added Notice message
  • Added Restore previous settings
  • Full VGA support
  • Fixed some errors in configuration files
  • Fixed bug in file browser
  • Fixed bug saving some DWORD registry values as String values
  • Fixed bug in key mapping
  • Supports newest HTC device for long key press mapping
  • Supports HTC TouchFLO 3D for soft-keys mapping
  • Supports delete values in configuration file
  • Supports custom values in configuration file
  • Supports external icon files for categories in configuration file

While Advanced Configuration Tool makes registry changes easy, it is always a good idea to back up your device before making any registry changes. So be safe and enjoy!
