LIVE EVENT COVERAGE: Mobius 2008! Visit twitter.com/msmobiles ! Latest Mobile Windows News: Microsoft launches Windows Mobile Connection May 02, 2008; [General] Microsoft's "Windows Mobile Training" site is lauching windowsmobileconnection.com web forum that is redirected to windowsmobiletraining.com/connection . Windows Live ID is required to participate. In other words: Microsoft launches, a bit more inclusive than other Microsoft's initiatives, web forum for salespeople who sell Windows Mobile phones but also for all kinds of "experts" - but not for consumers: Review : My Mybiler - FREE remote control and display software for Windows Mobile 6 and 6.1 May 01, 2008; [General] Unfortunately since many years Microsoft is not offering such application anymore (it was available from Microsoft for Windows Mobile 2003), so it is good to see that it is available now as 3rd party FREEWARE application - My Mobiler. Completely FREE! My Mobiler has been recently (previous month) updated, and new version has been released, so we concluded that it is good opportunity to review it! My Mobiler actually is an application for Windows XP and Windows Vista, that makes it possible to see and control display of your Windows Mobile phone on your PC:
As you can see this application runs on PC but it has also a component on Windows Mobile (note the icon "MyMobiler" above!). Here is what happens when one opens MyMobiler inside of Windows Mobile: American wireless carrier seeks Windows Mobile game developers through contest May 01, 2008; [General] AT&T knows how to encourage developers: it uses imagery with a blonde holding a Windows Mobile phone (HTC-manufactured AT&T Tilt):
Next CTIA - a major American wireless conference - takes place in September this year, and this is the deadline: FlipSide MP3 Player for Windows Mobile released April 30, 2008; [General] Yet another MP3 playing program for Windows Mobile! This one has nice user interface with album cover (images embedded in MP3 files) support. We wish however that somebody could make an MP3 player for Windows Mobile with nice visualizations during playback like: waveform, spectrum, etc. ... instead of improving user interface only. SlingPlayer for Windows Mobile updated April 30, 2008; [General] Remote TV viewing with SlingBox now with improved video streaming quality... Dave Zatz from SlingMedia writes to us: Flirting via text message April 28, 2008; [General] By Braddock of Love Systems, with Nick Savoy Have you ever met someone great, gotten their phone number, but it never seemed to turn into a date? Recently, Nick Savoy, President of Love Systems, Inc., wrote an article and recorded a podcast for msmobiles.com to introduce what he calls “dating science.” He explored techniques taught by his twenty instructors at one of the most successful social coaching companies in the world. Nick’s instructors and methodology were recently featured on Dr. Phil, Keys to the VIP, Fox News and a host of other popular shows.... Interview with Director of Marketing from SEVEN April 28, 2008; [General] When Scott Boehmer caught up with me at CTIA, I forgave him immediately for running a little late. How could I hold a grudge against someone with the good sense to use the same smartphone as me??? Weekly audio: Windows Mobile related podcasts that have been published last week April 26, 2008; [General] What is podcasting? It is ability to download audio files (MP3) - also automatically through RSS (XML) feeds. Podcasting also means that you can find audio content about very narrow topics, not to be found in main stream media. Here is a weekly dose of audio with gossip and latest Windows Mobile news and gossip... Unusual laboratory coming to Windows Mobile April 25, 2008; [General] Usually we avoid publishing news stories of type "coming soon" because sometimes such news end up being just vapoware... but some of such news stories will materliaze for sure... so here it comes: Visual CE 11.0 announced, at first in Beta April 24, 2008; [General] Well known mobile database software for Windows Mobile gets upgrade. Release of new SlingPlayer for Windows Mobile imminent April 24, 2008; [General] Users of Windows Mobile phones who have SlingBox at home - can rejoice! ceSnipURL for Windows Mobile released April 24, 2008; [General] When you are browsing Internet on your Windows Mobile phone and then you would like to send given link/URL by SMS (text message) then it may be impossible if given URL is too long... and some URLs are so long that they use too much of precious place in SMS messages, which can have maximally 160 characters usually... and then ceSnipURL might be useful to you because it can shorten URLs to usable length: HTC teases with new slogan: Something Beatiful is Coming April 24, 2008; [General] Not only HTC has placed this banner on their YouTube channel recently (as a teaser for an upcoming event on May 6): ... but also (today!) HTC has invited us to become HTC's friend on YouTube (note the red arrow!): Editorial: about importance of high-resolution display - say NO to QVGA ! April 23, 2008; [General] Previously Windows Mobile phones with resolution higher than QVGA (320x240) were oversized and overpriced. This summer we will see many Windows Mobile phones with high-resolution displays, including VGA (640x480) and Wide-VGA (800x480), so many users will be asking themselves a question: should I get new phone with high resolution or should I stick to QVGA? This time, after E-TEN (now part of Acer), Asus and GIGABYTE, also the biggest manufacturer of Windows Mobile phones - HTC - will be releasing pocket-size Windows Mobile phones with high resolution (see our upcoming coverage from HTC event on May 6, where we will be present on location!). In other words: thanks to HTC pocket-size Windows Mobile phones with high-resolution display will hit the mainstream. Should you stick to QVGA (or slightly improved 320x320) or should you go for high-resolution phone? We will answer here this question, but first let's take a look at size comparison of various resolutions:
Now please take a look how incredibly comfortable is reading of PDF documents in a Windows Mobile phone with VGA resolution: Microsoft announced Live Mesh but Windows Mobile forgotten ! April 23, 2008; [General] The same was with Silverlight and now Microsoft's new, supposedly breakthrough technology - Live Mesh - does not offer anything yet for Windows Mobile although one of the main features of Live Mesh is synchronization of various information among devices and even an icon of mobile phone is used! With Live Mesh, Microsoft hopes to combine cloud computing with Internet platform and thus have something to show against Google's Internet offerings, but once again Windows Mobile is being totally neglected.
