Watch on YouTubeSynching Multiple Calendars with Windows Mobile
Posted by Bruce Atkinson on Jun 30, 2009 | Comments
I have been trying different methods of synchronizing my Calendars for many years, and I have finally settled on a method that works for me and is pretty much maintenance free. That method utilizes Google Calendar as my hub and a combination of Google Calendar Sync and an excellent program called gSyncit ($9.99).
Google Calendar supports multiple calendars and lets you publish/share them to other calendar tools like...

Mobile Screen Resolutions
Posted by Sam Hobson on Jun 30, 2009 | Comments
I remember back in 1997 when 640×480 was the standard screen resolution for a computer screen. Now days, you have huge HD screens that can pull a resolution up to 2560px wide. In just over 10 years it grew that fast.
I’m beginning to see a little bit of that growth in mobile devices as well. My last cell phone only had a 172×144 res screen. Most of the time though I saw 320×240. Recently I’ve...
Skype for WinMo Leaves Beta
Posted by Zealot on Jun 30, 2009 | Comments
Great news for those of us who use Skype on Windows Mobile devices. Skype for Windows Mobile 3.0 Beta is no longer Beta as the Gold release was yesterday, and to celebrate some additional features were added to this great application.
New and exciting for the release is the ability to share files with other Skype users, including photos, MP3 files, MS Office files or any other documents. On top of that, Skype for WinMo...
TuneWiki for BlackBerry
Posted by Steve Laser on Jun 30, 2009 | Comments
I’ve had enough of iPhone this and iPhone that. Let’s talk cool apps for your BlackBerry, shall we? Gear Diary reported that TuneWiki is available for the BlackBerry. What is TuneWiki? It’s a website that plays music of your choice and displays lyrics. It’s a community forum. It displays maps that show what other users are listening to. It may still be...

HP Continues to Create “Enterprise Netbooks”
Posted by Zealot on Jun 30, 2009 | Comments
The big netbook talk this week has been all about the HP 5101, a netbook clearly aimed at the same business and Enterprise users as the HP Mini-note 2140 had been, based on the feature set. Since most netbooks are viewed as purely consumer market creations, that is a bit on an anomaly right off the bat. To please more demanding users in the Enterprise, everything about this unit seems to be a bit above the standard netbook…bigger...
iPlay – Doom Resurrection
Posted by Zealot on Jun 30, 2009 | Comments
Apple continues to position the iPhone/iPod Touch as a game machine to be reckoned with by adding another big franchise name to stable, none other then the game that started the FPS genre, Doom. Doom Resurrection is billed as a totally new chapter in the Doom saga optimized just for the unique features of the iPhone and promises all the thrills, chills and action of it’s PC cousins. Does it succeed? Well, that is a...
Neopets Pirates…and NOT the Fun Kind
Posted by Zealot on Jun 30, 2009 | Comments
Hackers who use keystroke captures and botnets to prey on other, less adept computer users are pretty low in my book….how much lower are they then when their preferred targets are still in grade school?
A scam to convince users of the popular family-safe web community Neopets to run a keystroke capture program and thus compromise their PC and all information on it has recently been brought to my attention by Christopher...
Samsung will use Nvidia chips
Posted by ctitanic on Jun 30, 2009 | Comments
The coming soon N510 Netbook from Samsung will use a Nvidia chip. What’s the gain? 1080p support is not enough?
"The Netbook term was created by Intel to define a segment offering a limited experience, but with Ion you don’t have those same limitations," Nvidia’s Haas said. "These systems can handle mainstream gaming, HD video, and new GPU-powered applications. You might as well call...

To Hackintosh or not to Hackintosh
Posted by Zealot on Jun 29, 2009 | Comments
In a bold move, Dan Frakes over at MacWorld has decided to see what all the fuss is about, and bought himself a Netbook (A Dell Vostro A90 to be exact, one of the most hackinsoshable of the current Netbook crop) in order to see what running Mac OS X on a device that small would be like. For Frakes, it was clearly and somewhat predictably a mixed bag.
Regarding software he had this to say…
I’m able to use most...
A Step Closer to a Universal Charger
Posted by Zealot on Jun 29, 2009 | Comments
Once of the biggest obstacles to a truly “green” telecom industry seems to be finally coming to an end, as the Associated Press is reporting that the EU and companies like Nokia and other mobile phone vendors have agreed to make all their devices compatible with a single, standard charger.
The AP story runs as follows:
BRUSSELS (AP) — EU officials say they have reached a deal with mobile phone makers to introduce...
Fennec Mobile Browser: Down the Fox Hole
Posted by Marilyn Torres on Jun 29, 2009 | Comments
Mozilla’s Firefox is the only browser I use at home. Stable, tabbed browsing enabled, and rich with add-on options, so I was expecting similar functionality and stability from Fennec on my WinMo 6.1 handset. After the initial install from a 9.09 MB file, the browser took a minute or two longer to load the first time, but then the Fennec start page loaded fast enough. This is the largest installation file yet, compared...
Introducing HTC TouchFlo 3D 2.5
Posted by Gil Bouhnick on Jun 28, 2009 | Comments
You have probably already seen the news about the new HTC device called the FireStone.
So apparently this device will come with a new version of TouchFlo 3D, newer than the one installed on Diamond II and Touch Pro II.
There are some improvements, in the main tab, in the calendar tab, widgets capabilities, and a new footprint tab which will now become standard.
There are more details in WMPowerUsers, including...
Fennec Alpha 2 Released for Windows Mobile
Posted by Zealot on Jun 28, 2009 | Comments
It seems to be a browser kind of weekend here at MobilitySite. First Marilyn’s excellent review of Skyfire, now word that the next alpha release of Mozilla’s long awaited Mobile browser, Fennec, is available for all WinMo 6+ devices.
Here is how the release notes describe this alpha version…
The initial focus of Fennec development was on building a new user experience that reflects Firefox’s design principles,...
Kindle to Throw the Book at WinMo?
Posted by Zealot on Jun 28, 2009 | Comments
Never let it be said that Jeff Bezos thinks small. Not one for short stories…Bezos prefers epic best sellers.
He took an idea and his own ambition and wrote the book on what at the time was thought impossible…he made an online-only retailer profitable when he created Amazon.com. Not only is Amazon now one of the largest e-tailers on the internet, it is also one of the largest book retailers anywhere in the world,...
Palm Stocks Pre-pared for Rally
Posted by Zealot on Jun 28, 2009 | Comments
Due to the arcane machinations of the financial world, what should have been bad for Palm appears to actually have been good. Palm presented their numbers for the fiscal 4th quarter and even though they took heavy losses, however they weren’t nearly as heavy as they were expected to be. Why was that so important? Well, because just a week after that quarter ended, the Pre was released, and it appears that even...
HTC Sense UI Exclusive to HTC Hero
Posted by Marilyn Torres on Jun 28, 2009 | Comments
Somehow making this new, sleek UI available to only the HTC Hero seems a little unfair. That would be like the HTC TouchFLO 3D interface being limited only to unlocked HTC handsets and not carrier-branded handsets due to licensing issues.
That’s right, even though my G1 and the MyTouch/Magic are made and developed by HTC, you’ll find it also says Google on the back. Being a Google-branded product apparently precludes...
Sprint Shoots At 1st-gen iPhone Users
Posted by Sam Hobson on Jun 27, 2009 | Comments
Sprint recently put out the following ad.
They claim that you can save a lot of money and get better service if you choose them and the Pre instead of AT&T and the iPhone. This seems to be targeted at people using the original iPhone, because if you think about it, around this time two years ago the original iPhone appeared.
So Sprint is here claiming that the Pre is better than the original iPhone. ...
