Do you Tweet?
Do you have a Windows Mobile phone?
I do and I love TinyTwitter. It’s the best mobile client for twitter bar none (try it and see) and it’s now even better.
How could it get better you ask (because you already use it…. right… if not…. try it now!)
It’s better in two ways…
Picture uploads: append a picture to any tweet and it gets posted to TwitPic. You don’t...
What sports do you do?
Posted by Offbeatmammal on Jul 08, 2008 | Comments
As a geek I’m guilty of perhaps not getting as much exercise as I need. Part of the problem is finding the time but that comes down to motivation. With the wonders of this socially networked age it’s easier to use technology to help with that motivation.
The geek in me likes stats. If I know I’m doing good, and overall improving against myself or friends then I have the incentive to keep going and doing better....
Is that a widget on your screen?
Posted by Offbeatmammal on Jul 01, 2008 | Comments
You’re probably very familiar with the plethora of widget or gadget technologies on the web or your desktop by now – Vista Sidebar, Windows Sideshow, Google, Yahoo and Microsofts web and desktop offerings as well as a collection of Web 2.0 offerings that it’s pointless to try and enumerate because it would already be out of date.
Well, they continue to spread and Access (the folks behind the NetFront browser which...
Your life on the go

Lifecasting is a big thing at the moment. One step beyond blogging and tweeting is the ability to record and broadcast live video from a cellphone to share what you’re doing – and engage with your audience.
Qik is probably the best known of these, and is slowly rolling out an early beta service for Windows Mobile users. But Qik are not the only game in town – there are a couple of existing solutions that have great...
Windows Mobile feedback
Posted by Offbeatmammal on Jun 03, 2008 | Comments
Do you care about Windows Mobile? Do you use a Windows Mobile powered Smartphone or PocketPC? Do you have any feedback or comments on how Microsoft could make it better?
By all means leave a comment here, but the best place to get your voice heard (and let others contribute refinements to your ideas) is over at the Windows Mobile Connect site.
You don’t need to sign up in order to view existing feedback but if you...
Sideshow on your mobile
Posted by Offbeatmammal on Jun 03, 2008 | Comments
If you’ve never seen Windows Sideshow in operation you’re in for a treat. Sideshow is a function in Windows Vista which allows small hardware gadgets to access data and control the host device.
The team have just released a runtime to enable you to turn any Windows Mobile device (touchscreen or smartphone, as long as both it and your PC supports Bluetooth) into a Sideshow device and host gadgets. You can find out...
Browsing gets better
Posted by Offbeatmammal on May 30, 2008 | Comments
With the advent of Safari on the iPhone there’s been a bit of a shake-up in the mobile internet experience – or at least the expectations.
Out of the box Windows Mobile comes with cut down version of Internet Explorer called IEMobile (aka PocketIE) which, while reliable, is getting a little long in the tooth.
IEMobile is based on IE5 so there are many sites that can take advantage of the capabilities available on...
Developing for Windows Mobile
Posted by Offbeatmammal on May 29, 2008 | Comments
Most of us are not professional developers (I’ve not really written a line of code in almost 2 years) but how often have you wished you had a little program to fit a specific niche, searched the web and given up?
If you’re planning on developing a professional application then you need to look at Visual Studio and the Windows Mobile SDKs but sometimes you just need something to quickly prototype an idea.
There are...
Freedom Bluetooth Keyboard
Posted by Offbeatmammal on May 27, 2008 | Comments
About a year ago there were a couple of posts talking about the Freedom folding keyboards (one Bluetooth and one USB).
While the USB one seems to have come and gone the bluetooth option is alive and kicking. This is good news as other alternatives (such as the iGo Stowaway) have been discontinued so it’s good to see at least one option out there for folks who need a better experience.
While I’m happy enough to knock...
