Clinton Fitch, our good friend and owner of Clinton Fitch(dot)com has been working on a series of posts which help you make your HTC Touch Diamond or Touch Pro work better for you.  In the first installment, he looked at the TouchFlo 3D configuration tool.  Now, in his second installment, Clinton takes you through a utility called DiamondTweak, which features over 20 tweaks for your device. 

After making it absolutely clear that you are using DiamondTweak and similar programs at your own risk, Clinton walks you through his top ten features in this app, including a battery meter, TCP/IP settings, and plenty more.  If you want to make your HTC Touch-based device work for you, check out the full article.

Evernote is one of the great note-taking services on the web right now.  It competes with Microsoft OneNote on desktops and laptops, but it has no real competition when it comes to mobility.  Evernote has a mobile web page that works with just about any cell phone that can access the web and has native clients right now for the iPhone and Windows Mobile.

One of the problems with using Evernote on mobile devices right now is that it is yet another program to load up anytime you want to make a quick note.  While the folks at Evernote have created great native clients, loading up the mobile website can take time and sometimes the mobile clients take time as well.

So, next week, Evernote is going to bring integration with Twitter to create yet another quick way to get content into Evernote

The other day I told you about some attempted transparency from Microsoft, over at the Windows Mobile Facebook page. I was, to say the least, sceptical at the time, but it seems Microsoft have finally deemed to grace fans at FaceBook with some answers! Answers though that are innocuous, and well, affected by a generous slathering of PR spin, sanitised and no real answers at all. For  example:

Nikita

When will…
…Silverlight be finally on WM?
…there be WM6.7? [With SL and SL in Widgets]
…Widgets get IE8 WebSlices?
…century old base OS controls be shiny like XP>Vista?

Windows Mobile

While we are not dicussing future versions of the product beyond what we announced at Mobile World Congress, I can say we are committed to bringing Silverlight to Windows Mobile in the future.

One of the most common complaints I have heard from users of the new Kindle 2 is the wasted space it employs.  And I tend to agree with this sentiment.  While the screen size is pretty good, it could utilize the available space much better, allowing for a considerably larger screen.

Well, it appears as though Amazon is also aware of this criticism.  According to some rumors flying through the Inter-tubes, Amazon could be trying to gin up a larger screen version of the Kindle in time for the holiday shopping season next Winter.  Not only would this provide a better user experience for readers, it would also provide a significantly improved platform for newspapers and magazines, which could probably be viewed in something more similar to their original format.

Of course, this larger screen is also expected to come with a pricetag…a fairly hefty price tag.  Reports indicate that the new large screen Kindle could cost as much as double the price of the Kindle 2, bringing it in at well over $700.  Hello, Amazon, the only thing people complained about more than the screen size was the price.  So, good call on increasing the price of this one, and not just a little…but $700?  What do you folks out there think?  Would you pay $700 for an eBook reader?  What would have to be included for you to consider paying $700 for the next Kindle?

The joys of retail. Just when you thought you’d take a vacation – since you couldn’t take it during holiday shopping season….or inventory, Sprint adds one more blackout date: all of May. According to Engadget, Sprint may be prepping up for something big..a gathering of the storm. Think it’s the upcoming Palm Pre? Maybe..what else is big enough to cause that kind of excitement where a giant company would put a blackout date in the middle of a perfectly good time to be off?
