I have been an avid fan of windows mobile devices since my first original Axim. I used each new version faithfully, all the while waiting patiently for the day when phones and pda’s would become one device. What I have always enjoyed, then and since, was the ability to make my device look and function the way I wanted it to. I learned to flash, alter, and customize to my hearts content. It was the wonderful gift and privilege of the Windows Mobile operating system.

The one thing that has ALWAYS gone along with that ability was having to put up with the eventual need to uninstall everything and start over. Windows Mobile also has the ability and tendency to get its files in an uproar and become bogged down from this continual messing with it. Operating systems that don’t allow for mucking about internally, such as Apple, seem to have mostly smooth sailing for the life of the device. You just have to be willing to give up complete customization. I have refused to compromise…….until this week.

When I needed my phone’s camera, it wouldn’t start: error message “not enough memory; close running apps and try again”. When sending an email, device unresponsive; soft reset needed. On start-up, nothing would load and error message displayed saying: “An illegal application has been installed; press volume up or down to reset device to original state. All data will be lost”.

When I heard the words “I’m getting an iPhone” fall from my lips, I had to sit down and take my temperature.

What is your biggest frustration with your current favorite device?

There are articles, commentaries and rants flooding the pages of the internet and flashing on the screens of our televisions, with “smartphone X is better than smartphone Y” being the general theme.  To be completely frank, I am growing sick of them.  They used to bring a thrill to me, but no longer.

If we look at the specs side of the argument, I believe we are quickly getting to the point where we have reached maximum potential for the features of a phone.  I could understand it when many devices didn’t come standard with expandable memory, wifi or a color screen.  But now they do plus many others goodies, and  it seems that manufacturers are just refining the current experience.

Let’s also look at the device operating system side of the argument.  In the past I have been completely guilty of bashing one operating system to make another that I favored and used look better.  I admit this and I’m sorry for it.  I have a new point of view for the operating system debate:

WHO CARES?

Does the device’s operating system meet your needs?  Does it provide the experience you want?  Then, “GREAT”, I say.  Use it.  We could go into a long list of the pro’s and con’s of different operating systems, but at the end of the day let’s all just acknowledge that we each have a personal preference.  That’s it.  I’m sorry… I know I just burst some people’s bubble, but again, let’s be brutally honest.  If the operating system meets your needs and you like it, then who cares what others write, say or do.

"Brad Mitchum: Lost in Time" by Astraware

Astraware has been at it again, this time remembering the crowd of Windows Mobile users out there.  The release of “Brad Mitchum: Lost in Time” actually marks their third release for this platform in the past few months, which is very nice to see!

Here’s the full description as provided by Astraware:

Brad Mitchum is an archeologist who has travelled the four corners of the globe in the search of lost cities and legendary objects. He discovers a mysterious talisman and decides to investigate further. After more research he discovers that the gems are missing from the talisman. At that moment a white light appears and everything is turned upside down. Brad thought his adventures were over, he’s lost in time and he doesn’t see the funny side.

Brad Mitchum: Lost in Time is a fun action arcade game inspired by classic ball-shooting titles like Pang or Buster Bros which includes 3 high action game modes:

• Story: with cinematic sequences and progressive difficulty for an ever-increasing challenge;
• Pure: an arcade style mode with multiple weapon types;
• X-trem: a special extra-difficulty mode with combo systems for hardcore players.
