Just a quick note since I need to rush off. Just read that the Zoho for iPhone website was redesigned. The old URL I bookmarked doesn’t work now. So, you need to visit either mobile.zoho.com or iZoho.com. I took a quick look at the redesigned site and it looks good. Will test it out more later on my iPod touch.

Google Maps Mobile Adds Bus and Train Directions: But Not for Windows Mobile
Google announced Google Maps for Mobile 2.2 which adds bus and train information. However, it is not available for Windows Mobile devices yet. If you try to download it on a Windows Mobile device, you will get version 2.1. The blog item announcing 2.2 says that it is available for the Blackberry and many Java-based phones.
If we Windows Mobile users feel left out now, just wait until next week when the geeksphere is abuzz over all things iPhone which will also NOT work with Windows Mobile smartphones. Sigh.

What is the Best Windows Mobile Twitter Client?
I’m trying to figure out what is the best Windows Mobile Twitter client for me. I wonder if touch (Professional) vs non-touch (Standard) WiMo phones have different best clients? The Twitter Fan Wiki has a bunch listed under…
Any opinions out there? What is the best Twitter client for a WiMo smartphone (non-touch) or Pocket PC (touch) in your opinion?

Feeling Retro: PC World Disassembles the Awesome TRS-80 Model 100 Ultraportable
There was a time that mere mortals (people who couldn’t solder or code in assembly language) had two basic choices for a personal computer: The Apple II or the Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 1. Somehow, in these ancient days, there emerged an device that was a great ultraportable before the term ultraportable was even coined: The TRS-80 Model 100. It also has the distinction of being the last product that Microsoft’s Bill Gates worked on in depth. PC World disassembled this 25 year old masterpiece in design and presents the photos at…
Inside a Classic: The TRS-80 Model 100
I definitely want to go find mine this weekend, throw 4 AA batteries in it and see if it powers up. Will post the video on YouTube if I find it and it powers up for a demo.

Plurk: A Disturbing Twitter Wannabe
Plurk is another Twitter wannabe, though a somewhat interesting one. I found its headless animal mascot to be a bit disturbing. You can change it to something somewhat less disturbing in your profile though. They have a mobile friendly web interface at…You can find my account at…
I’m not sure how often I will use it (despite its problems, I still use Twitter). But if you want to test it with someone, point to the account above.

Ilium Software Turning 11 Years Old (free stuff and sales to follow 🙂
I can probably count the number of commercial apps I have kept up to date from 1997 on one hand. Let’s see: Microsoft Office (ok, that is cheating a little since that is one hand by itself), JASC (now Corel) PaintShop Pro, and, hmm, that might actually be it. If you know me or have read this blog in the past, you know there is one other app I have used for a long time: Ilium Software’s eWallet for Windows Mobile. In fact, Handheld PC Magazine (now Smartphone and Pocket PC Magazine) published my Top 10 Products list back in their July 1998 issue. And eWallet was my favorite app then (followed by Ilium’s ListPro) too.
Ilium turns 11 years old next week (Happy Anniversary!) and is celebrating by giving stuff to you! Head over to the Ilium Software Blog between June 2 and June 6 to learn how you might get one of their great anniversary freebies.
Here’s hoping Ilium hangs around for a long time because I’ve been using eWallet since version 1 and want to keep using it for many more years to come.
