Some of you might have heard of the T-Mobile Shadow. The Shadow is a cool-looking device, with a 20 key slide-out keypad, circular scroll wheel, and large screen! But when you boot up for the first time, you may wonder, “Is this really Windows Mobile?”
The answer is YES!...

Of course, knowing that I had the ROM and if I was off to the show, I would be thinking about it all day so I decided that I would give it a try, hope that it was fast then head...

To UMPC Makers, please, do not reinvent the wheel.
Posted by ctitanic on Oct 31, 2007 | Comments
I know that by asking this I put myself in a very uncomfortable position of receiving an answer of ”We reinvent the wheel because we can” but after a lot of thinking I decided that somebody has to say it.

The Treo 700w was a big step for Palm to offer their superb form factor with the Windows Mobile 5. It was great, but had some flaws. We aren’t concerned with the flaws at this point.

How big is the Fujitsu U810?
Posted by ctitanic on Oct 30, 2007 | Comments
