There is no way I am going to install the just released… Just Released: Windows Live for Windows Mobile Why? The first listed so-called feature: Synchronize Live contacts with your contacts on the device. My Hotmail/Live Mail contacts list is a mish-mash of MSN (Live) Messenger contacts and other contributors I can’t remember. I do […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’ve been using my iPod touch (upgraded to the 2.0 firmware) at a number of hotspots during the past week. I’ve also been carrying a variety of Windows Mobile WiFi enabled devices. One of the things that has become very clear to me is that the iPod touch acquires access points much much faster than […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I mentioned in an earlier blog entry that Microsoft renamed the Windows Mobile Owners Circle to Total Access. Some (3 to be precise) of the articles I wrote for Microsoft’s WindowsMobile.com site have been moved to the nearly impossible to find… Windows Mobile Total Access Tips and Tricks …section. You’ll also find articles from Jason […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
If you use POP3 or IMAP4 server to retrieve email, it is always a good idea to turn on SSL (Secure Socket Layer) to encrypt the data. However, if you use a web host’s email server like I do, you more than likely will have an SSL certificate mismatch. If you happen to be looking […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
NBC’s mobile portal provides streaming video (including full episodes of some shows) on both Windows Mobile devices and the iPhone (and iPod touch).

ActiveSync 4.5 has been working as well as can be expected of it (works about 85% of the time) on my PC running XP for a number of years now. I have a USB-to-mini-USB cable plugged into a powered USB hub that I’ve used with a number of mostly HTC Pocket PCs and Smartphones during […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Just for fun I decided to score my iPod touch, TyTn Windows Mobile 6 Pocket PC, and Dash Windows Mobile 6 Smartphone on 10 features. The highest possible score is 3 and the lowest is 1. So, a higher total is theoretically better than a lower one. If you look at the scores, you might […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Microsoft changed the name of its end-user brand loyalty site from Owners Circle to TotalAccess. Some, but not all of the articles that Tyson Greer, Jason Dunn, and I wrote have been moved to the tips and tricks section of this site.
The Silverlight powered version of Microsoft’s WindowsMobile.com went live. But, in the process, it looks like a lot of links were broken. Jason Dunn, Tyson Greer, and I wrote a bunch of Windows Mobile 6 articles for Microsoft.com last year. All of these articles are still valid and apply to Windows Mobile 6.1 devices. If […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
For years Palm OS users rightly criticized that Windows Mobile for needing far too many taps and scrolling to enter the simplest calendar event or contact information. Although it looks like Palm OS will join the ranks of Wordstar, Lotus 1-2-3, and CP/M soon, the criticism is still valid. It is still a giant pain […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Yesterday I said that Windows Mobile’s real competitor is Google Android. WiMo has already conceded defeat to Apple’s iPhone in the consumer space. Why? How? You and I, as individual consumers, have not been the target Windows Mobile customer since 2003. As soon as Microsoft’s marketing became phone-centric, the target customers became enterprises running Exchange […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
