Posted by Jack Cook on Dec 02, 2009 | Comments
There are just some programs that are “must have” programs for your device. For me, every device I have has a variety of programs I use all the time. Two being RESCO File Explorer and RESCO Photo Viewer Pro. But now it is time for me to retire one … because there is a NEW and updated program called RESCO Photo Manager that goes well beyond what you would expect.

I’ve been using SoftMaker Office for years and have found it to be a “must have” program on my devices especially if you do a lot of writing and want (or need) the ability to use all of the formatting that is available in Word and not available in the mobile version.

Posted by Jack Cook on Oct 19, 2009 | Comments

Now SBSH has improved upon the experience with their latest release of Facade and from what I can see, it is going to be terrific.
So what is Facade? It is a front-end...

In an article on MobilityMinded, Mark Briggeman talked about an interesting discussion took place a few days ago in the Windows Mobile Forums where a user of the first Samsung Omnia (SGH-i900) asked if it was possible to change the language of his phone.
When ever a user asks if they can change the language, I always reply that you cannot but little did I know that there seems to be a way to do that with the Omnia. ...
