Clinton Fitch Goes Online With Spb Online
Posted by: dgoldring on Oct 28 2008 - 6 views
Not long ago, our very own Tjchan took a hard look at Spb Online, and found a lot to like there. But what do others think of this fine program? Well, our good friend, Clinton Fitch, has just posted his review of the program over at Clinton Fitch(dot)com.
If you are not familiar with it, Spb Online is an online experience; allowing you to watch TV, listen to music, read the news, purchase software, play games, and more…all from the comfort of your Windows Mobile device.
Clinton took a thorough look at Spb’s latest offering and found:
If you look at Spb Online as a whole you can see that it is a fantastic concept that is well executed by the Spb team. There are some rough edges for sure, especially around the News function but it is workable. The ability to buy securely online from the application itself is fantastic and makes the buying experience quick, simple and fun. The automatic updating of the application over the air is another nice feature and one that frankly every developer should figure out how to do. Spb Online is a definate winner and I can’t wait to see how this application continues to grow.
Check out the full review, with tons of screen shots, at Clinton Fitch(dot)com. And head over to the JAMM Store where you can download your very own copy of Spb Online, directly to your device.

Clinton Fitch’s Adventures in Bluetooth (the HTC BH M200 Bluetooth Headset)
Posted by: dgoldring on Sep 09 2008 - 28 views
Those of you who are frequent readers of JAMM know that we (and especially me) have an affinity for all things Bluetooth. We have reviewed headsets, headphones, keyboards…you name it. So, leave to to our good friend Clinton Fitch to find the one we have not looked at, the BH M200 Bluetooth Headset from HTC (yes, that HTC).
Although this is the least expensive of the HTC line of headsets (weighing in at a mere $38.99) Clinton really liked it. In his review, he writes:
By no means am I suggesting that I have found the ultimate Bluetooth headset in the HTC BH M200 but I will say this: It’s lightweight, has DSP noise and echo cancellation, has about a 7 hour talk time and auto reconnects to your device after it is powered on. All this for under $40 (US). Is it the best sounding headset out there? Likely not given that Jawbone has somewhat set the standard (especially version 1 of that device) but it is leaps-and-bounds ahead of other headsets that are in the same price range. And at $40, if you loose on a plane or in a cab (admit it, you have lost one before), you aren’t out a whole lot of cash. Regardless of price, the sound quality and ease of use of the M200 makes it a great choice if you are looking for a low cost, no frills Bluetooth headset that looks sleek and stylish.
As Clinton says several times in his review, not bad for under $40. Check out the full review over at Clinton Fitch(dot)com.

Google Maps 2.2 for Windows Mobile Released
Posted by: Brandon Steili on Jul 31 2008 - 42 viewsGoogle Maps 2.2 for Windows Mobile Released: 
Looks like Google has yet again updated the Google Maps application for Windows Mobile. Given this is one of my most used applications on the iPhone and it was definitely one of my most used on WinMo - I figured it may warrant letting you fine folks know as well.
According to Clinton and the information page this latest update adds transit functionality to the program which now allows you to check public transportation schedules in more than 50 cities around the world.
I did a bit of testing this morning with it here in Dallas and it works fantastically well.”All you have to do to access the Transit information is choose Transit under the Direction Menu.
Google Maps 2.2 is free-of-charge and you can grab it at http://m.google.com/maps from your WinMo powered device.

Celio Redfly Review @ Clinton FITCH!
Posted by: Peter Murphy on Jul 30 2008 - 29 views
Most of us look for ways to remote control and better utilise our mobile devices. Let’s face it you have a powerful handheld computing solution, but it’s terribly hard to input large amounts of data, or text, without a great deal of trouble and sometimes detrimental consequences!
Well it looks like Clinton has found a viable solution, in what he quaintly dubs the “Colourful Insect”, A.K.A the Celio Redfly.
It is important to remember that the REDFLY will only work with Windows Mobile 5.0 or 6 Professional (PocketPC) and Standard (Smartphone) devices and currently only a small subset of the total number of devices available. For a complete list of what devices are supported visit http://www.celiocorp.com/smartphone. Having said that, I did test the REDFLY with a number of devices including several that were not on the Celio website.
It’s a great read, and even though I think the Redfly is a pricey edition to a mobile toolkit, I can see a combination of this device extension and your WinMo device allowing you to do away with a laptop in many cases.
Head on over to Clinton Fitch [dot] Com for the full review.
