Microsoft launched a new Windows Mobile site that apparently has the slogan Start Doing More. Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Start Doing More However, this heavily flash-based site seems to be about less instead of more. The initial page with its three tiny thematic buttons sitting in the middle of the screen looks lonely on the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
RCR Wireless News reports that T-Mobile may be the US carrier that launches the Google mobile phone. Information Week reports that Verizon Wireless may be the lucky carrier. If Google uses Apple’s one carrier strategy for a mobile rollout, VZW seems like the more likely candidate since it has a much larger presence than the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The T-Mobile Shadow has been generating a lot of interest (not as much as the iPhone did, but quite a lot in the scheme of things). Like most HTC designs, the slide-out keyboard design for a Windows Mobile 6 smartphone (Standard Edition) looks good. The odd thing (to me anyway) is that the Shadow is […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Reader D.S. has an interesting question. I usually post interesting questions because I think the question and my response might be of general interest. This time, however, I’m posting it because I think the question needs a better response than I can provide. D.S. asks… We are in the midst of setting up a system […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The October 18 Asustek press release title for the eagerly anticipated (at least by me) ultra compact Eee PC reads… An Eee PC Sold Every 2 Seconds However, the text of the release says… …with 200 pieces snapped up in 20 mins on Taiwan’s shopping channel, ETTV Shopping – averaging an Eee PC sold every […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
My Google Gmail IMAP4 feature was turned on earlier today (Oct. 25, Thursday). The first thing I did was test it with a T-Mobile Dash (Smartphone AKA Standard Edition) running Windows Mobile 6. And, yep, WiMo’s Messaging (email) works fine with the new Gmail feature. Google provides step-by-step instructions to configure Windows Mobile 6 to […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Microsoft’s Jason Langridge wrote an interesting blog item related to recurring meetings earlier this week… Having Problems With a Calendar With Lots of Recurring Meetings? The problem, it turns out, occurs because Microsoft creates recurring meetings out to 400 years if no end date is set. Um, who was the big brain who decided on […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The screen shot on the left is of the Weather.com site on a Windows Mobile 6 Pocket PC (Professional Edition). The screen shot on the left is the same site tweaked for the iPhone on an iPod touch. Although it takes a lot longer to load on the iPod touch (both devices were on the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Google announced that a mobile-friendly read-only (ack!) Google Docs web access. Docs on the go Head over to https://docs.google.com/m to view (but not edit) documents and spreadsheets on an iPhone (iPod touch), Blackberry, or Windows Mobile device. iPhone users can also view presentations (slide decks). I recorded a quick and dirty 2 minute video demo […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Brighthand and ZDNet both recently had blog items commenting on Microsoft reorganizing the Windows Mobile group and focusing the division on Windows Live service. I’m a little worried about this me-too strategy that seems to follow on the heels of Apple’s iPhone (and to a lesser extent iPod touch). Windows Mobile’s greatest strength has always […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I tend to listen to the podcast version of Leo Laporte’s Tech Guy radio program when I want to listen to something interesting while driving but don’t want to pay attention to very single word (which I tend to do when listening to something like the Security Now podcast). I have a backlog of these […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Nokia announced the N810 at the Web 2.0 Summit. Engadget (1st link) and Information Week (2nd link) both have coverage on the announcment (nothing on the Nokiausa.com site yet). Nokia N819 gets official Nokia Launches ‘Context-Aware’ Internet Tablet The first thing you notice about the N810 is that it has a physical slide-out QWERTY keyboard […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
