Jack Cook — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 02:13:38 +0000

There is a NEW version of the Iris Browser and it is pretty good. I have been using it on my Palm 750 and find the experience to be pretty stable. It still needs more work

Jim Karpen — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 16:37:25 +0000

The HTC Touch line is one of the hottest in the Windows Mobile world, and it’s great to see the carriers coming out with their versions of the HTC Touch Pro, now including the AT&T Fuze. Again, this device has the popular TouchFlo 3D interface and a slideout keyboard. This week we’ll also mention the HTC HD and Pharos phone/GPS devices.

A Look Back--The November 2001 Issue

Reported in the Nov 2001 issue, Hal Goldstein and Rich Hall head to New York City to attend PC expo (they had actually attended in June). Hal writes about the Cassiopeia BE-300 being a Palm-Killer, but Rich catches a glimpse of a potential, future iPhone-killer at the show, but can't know what the significance might have been for WM and Palm yet... If we only had a time machine, eh?

Burn The CD

Frank McPherson — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 15:18:03 +0000

My T-Mobile G1 that runs Android arrived at my house several weeks ago, missing something that has shipped with every single Windows Mobile device I have ever owned, a CDROM. The missing CD may not seem significant in this day of the Internet where you can easily download and install ActiveSync from a web site than use a CD, but the significance of its exclusion to me is for what it represents.

In Search of a Virtual Cradle: Mobiola Remote Controller

Tim Hillebrand — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 19:57:42 +0000

Continuing with my quest for an on-screen mobile device viewer because manufacturers are too cheap to include cradles anymore, I offer Mobiola Remote Control for your consideration.

I am beginning to learn that the basic features for this type of application must include remote control of device from PC using mouse and keyboard. Other requisites include screen capture, video capture, save to clipboard, save to file and zoom. Mobiola offers a full screen zoom, which is nice for presentations.

In Search of a Virtual Cradle: mDesktop

Tim Hillebrand — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 19:38:15 +0000

Here comes the fourth review in a series that lamentes manufacturers not supplying cradles anymore. However, I’m finding that with the new remote viewing applications, maybe we don’t need cradles after all.

If you ever wished you could control your Windows Mobile device from your desktop using your mouse and full-size keyboard, mDesktop makes it possible.

In Search of a Virtual Cradle: True Connect

Tim Hillebrand — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 19:27:46 +0000

In my disgrundlement that you no longer seem to find a cradle in the box anymore, I am searching for another solution in the form of on-screen viewers.

In Search of a Virtual Cradle: Pocket Controller

Perhaps some of you remember the good old days when every PDA came with a cradle in the box as a standard accessory.

Zuma - Frogs and Exploding Balls, Oh My!

Eric Pankoke — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 06:04:41 +0000

One sign of a good game is that it has appeal several years after it has been released. Such is the case with Zuma from Astraware, a mobile version of the popular action / puzzle game from Popcap Games. Addictive game play, intense challenge and a cool atmosphere make this an oldie but goodie that should be in your collection if it’s not already there.
