My idea of a contest is that a member must do something to win. It must be fun and also help the participants to learn in the process if possible...

Here it is!

What you have to do?

Read this excellent review/tutorial from Aximsite member Menneisyys

After reading the article select one of the products reviewed and take a "creative" screenshot of your Pocket PC, :approve: post a reply showing it, explained what you use and finally how you have done it..

Note: If you need a site to host a picture for the contest go to www.wrrx.com. If you need help to post send me a PM or ask another contestant.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am glad XnView is in the list of apps reviewed by the MVP. :D

Cool

Here's my entry for the contest:

Device: Eten M600+
OS: WM5.0
screen utility: Resco Picture Viewer 5.32 (built-in screen capture utility)

MY CREATIVE PROCEDURE:

I lie down on my back while I hold my device 85 degrees to the north. With my free right hand, I clicked on the screen capture utility on the program list. I choose to wait 10 seconds for the program to commence its capturing. Once I clicked the "OK" button, I turn slightly to the east (about 4 degrees), and hold my breath until the capturing was done. Another window pop-up after the 10 seconds, and and prompt me to save it or try again. I saved it, and quite frankly loved the outcome.

WHAT'S ON MY SCREEN:

I'm using Spb pocket plus for my tabbed setting. Two of the tabs are named after my two kids (Christian and Alexa) :).

Programs that are visible on the screeny includes:
PhoneAlarm, Fizz Treveller, Spb weather, Spb Finance, Spb Diary, Spb Time, Resco File explorer, Fizz Billnow, RepliGo, Hi-Calc, PocketEarth, ListPro, Newsbreak, Agenda Fusion, BugMe!, PhotoContacts Pro, HandyMenu, TapText...

Oh yeah, and the weather looks terible...

Is it just me or this contest is just not gaining any momentum...


It's not like my chance on winning this gets greater (black listed I believe. lol).

Since this is your contest, I have to respect your idea of what a contest should be/do. However, my idea of what a contest should be is:

1. It's easy to enter.
2. I always win.

First off, I want to say that this is a unique type of contest. (Does sucking up help our chances to win? )

But seriously, my screenshot was taken using the built-in capture capabilities of Pocket Informant. I wanted to capture something unique and cool enough so I would be considered for one of the prizes. So......the following screenshot shows me using Sling Player Mobile to log into the Slingbox in my supervisor's office. I started streaming TV through Sling Player Mobile first. Then, I went to my home screen via Magic Button. After starting PI and going to the capture function, I pressed OK and made sure I tapped the Sling Player icon within 5 seconds so that the TV screen would be available by the time PI took the screenshot. TV in the palm of your hand is cool. Watching ESPN streamed over the internet from your supervisor's office to your bedroom 50 miles away...priceless! :approve:

Here is an interesting screenshot of my PPC screen. It shows SOTI (which I used on my PC to take the PPC screenshot) connected through WiFi and actually taking the screenshot on my PC. The color depth isn't perfect since my PPC is remotely connected to my PC (logmein).

The Axim was drawn in Pocket Painter and the "infinite" screen I did in photoshop. Finally, I took the screenshot of the final image in Pocket Painter with Resco Screenshot.
