Smokescreen, this is a great name for a tool that allows iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch users run Flash content. On top of that it is a great name considering the developer behind it is actually called Chris Smoak. For their website you can click (here).
Smokescreen is essentially a flash player completely coded in JavaScript. This means that Flash files (movies, files with extension SWF, etc) can be played in Safari on...

Posted by Chris Leckness on Feb 15, 2010 | 22 Comments
There has been plenty of rumors and speculation about this highly anticipated release and now they can be put to rest to focus on what is to come. I sure hope it can recapture my interest in Windows Mobile and Zune.
Read on for a video and the press release. Stay tuned to my twitter account (@chrisleckness) and Mobilitysite for what I can share from my trip to Seattle this week. I am getting ready to fly out to...
Where am I? Use LocateMe!
Posted by Jack Cook on Jan 03, 2010 | 8 Comments
Sometimes it’s the “little things” that make life a little more enjoyable. It doesn’t have to be expensive, it just has to do a task and enhance an experience. Such is the case with a little program I ran across called LocateMe from Applied PDA Software.
As I was perusing the apps at the Marketplace with my device, I ran across this neat utility that did one thing; it located my position with Latitude...

Windows Mobile Kiosks Popping up at malls…
Posted by Chris Leckness on Dec 06, 2009 | 5 Comments
Looks like Microsoft is finally pushing Windows Phone some. There are kiosks popping up at malls. My guess is that HTC or one of the carriers are pushing it though. I wouldn’t expect Microsoft to do this. Have you seen this in your area? Besides this one, I saw Chuong Nguyen post on Twitter about seeing one recently too.

Resco Photo Manager – making your device even better!
Posted by Jack Cook on Dec 02, 2009 | 5 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.
Besides becoming a favorite photo...

This is too good to pass up!

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.
This is just a quick reminder that Softmaker’s special sale for their office applications on Windows Mobile (Pocket PC) ends two days from...
Windows Phone 6.5 and Widgets (Updated)
Posted by Stephen Borders on Oct 26, 2009 | 3 Comments
A reader asked me on my final thoughts post about Widgets in Windows Phone 6.5, (thanks Steve). While I admit I had heard of them before I though it was only in a shell installed over Windows Mobile by an OEM. Well as usual I was wrong. Windows Phone does indeed have a Widget Engine installed.

SBSH Facade 2 – an even better smartphone experience
Posted by Jack Cook on Oct 19, 2009 | 2 Comments
When I got my first smartphone I found it a very hard transition from a touch screen device. That is until I was led to use SBSH Facade. It totally changed my experience to one that was filled with productivity and ease of use. 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...
