Eten V900… wth Mobile TV?

Posted by: Peter Murphy on Aug 22 2008 - 16 views

I haven’t seen much from Eten lately so this was an eye opener.

Check out that antennae, reminds me of my grand dad’s tranny [transistor radio], but if that’s what you need to get mobile TV, and you can’t do without the latest episode of “So You Think You Can Dance”, this might be for you.

There’s a review of this new Eten over at winMobile.Se, that goes into more detail,

-3G/HSPDA/GPRS
-3MP Camera
-VGA Screen
-Wifi
-GPS
-Radio
-Windows Mobile 6.1
-RAM 128Mb
-ROM 256Mb
-Processor: 533Mhz, Samsung SC3 6400

One of the notable comments from the review,

The V900 is sleek, polished, and just very well designed. It looks like a classy version of HTC’s Kaiser.

Hmmm? a Tilt with TV, I don’t know if I think that’s a good thing, anyway check it out, or buy it and let me know if you can use your Foxtel with your new Eten?

CoolSmartPhone says this shouldn’t be online so you better click the link quick if you want to check this out.

Winterface Gets An Update!

Posted by: Peter Murphy on Aug 13 2008 - 27 views

Winterface from Vito is a fairly new addition to the Windows Mobile scene but as always Vito don’t sit around twiddling their thumbs. Winterface has been updated in response to user input [that’s got to be a plus], and the new version includes

VITO Technology releases a new version of one of its best-sellers – Winterface. Winterface is a Windows Mobile shell that helps you to organize applications and settings at your PocketPC the way you like. The start gesture “rainbow” was replaced in new version by upside down tick ^. Moreover, it has become possible to add to the main screen not only applications, settings and contacts but also any files on your Pocket PC. Besides, calendar and tasks now can notify you about upcoming events, appointments and tasks. Minor bugs have been also fixed.

To tell you I hadn’t tried it out till I got the update press release today, is a wee bit embarrassing, cause I was really impressed when I installed it. Simply this is a great app. Obviously being a point update, if you’ve already purchased Winterface, just download the updated version and install.

Available from iWindowsmobile for $19.95

Press Release.

Now This Is Mobile Technology! part 19

Posted by: Peter Murphy on Jul 24 2008 - 57 views

In view of the recent changes to laws in the US, this seems a bit ironic to me, as amazing as it seems. Now I know there are plenty of apps out there that turn your WinMo device into a remote controller for say, your television, or stereo, and that seems rather appropriate. What if your mobile could control a projectile that can travel at high speed and weighs a ton? Far fetched you might say, well this concept somehow flaunts the “using your mobile phone whilst driving” law, and makes it impossible to avoid it. Look for a little Samsung loving in the video after the break.

Windows Mobile, Death Knell or Phoenix rising from the ashes?

Posted by: Peter Murphy on Jul 02 2008 - 196 views

You know the Windows Mobile platform is the most advanced mobile platform going. Although it takes the inclusion of a lot of software and tweaks to make it so. Many of us have baulked at having to include the .net CF, because it’s bulky, to enable a lot of the third party applications we want to use, but software support like that is what keeps your device going. So where do you think windows mobile is going?

When you think that we are almost a week away from the second coming of the “JesusPhone” could there be a saviour for windows mobile?

Possibly there is, … J Allard is now the
“Chief Experience Officer” and “Chief Technology Officer”, as such he is responsible for the online, and well everything windows mobile.

So let us and him know what doesn’t work for you with windows mobile and see if the chic Allard responds.

J Allard is responsible for the technical architecture and user experiences related to products and services of the Entertainment and Devices (E&D) division. Allard works closely with technical leaders across the company to align E&D product teams with Microsoft’s overall services strategy and product architecture, and drives the technical and design agenda to deliver Connected Entertainment experiences for consumers.

The question I want to ask you all is do you think this will make a difference?

So Alllard is know in charge of windows mobile, is it to little too late? or will we see updates sooner than we think

The question I want to ask you all is do you think this will make a difference?

In the mood for something suite?

Posted by: ssschmidt on May 27 2008 - 553 views

May I present for your tasting pleasure, The iWindowsMobile Communication Suite

Ever been walking along and decide to make a quick call, and you have to drag out the silly non writing pen just to find the person’s number?. Or, your phone beeps, you have a text message and want to respond, and then realize (shudder) that your stylus is gone?

Windows Mobile Professional Devices (Touch Screen) are moving more toward finger friendly every day. Sometimes it just isn’t convenient to drag out the stylus. So what do you do?

Recipe:

1. Start with a WM Professional Device.
2. Add in equal parts: Goodwin, Fun Contact, SMS-Chat, and Zoomboard.
3. Do Not Shake or Stir.

Now for the taste test. And you even get to use your fingers.

So you thought you were safe?

Windows Mobile devices have enjoyed a charmed life in terms of outside attacks of the virus persuasion. In my WinMo experience, I can recall two instances of claimed viral attacks, so this news, of a mobile Trojan is probably something, we should be concerned about, or place in our Ho Hum files.

McAfee’s Avert Labs division is warning users about one of the first "Trojan horse" viruses to afflict Windows Mobile. Dubbed WinCE/Infojack, it allows silent installation of malware, and sends information about an infected device to the Trojan’s author, according to the company.

 

This is a little information about a bug you should be aware of,

The Trojan sends the infected device’s serial number, operating system, and other information to the author of the trojan. It also modifies the infected device’s security setting to allow unsigned applications to be installed without a warning,

Don’t get caught, Helen’s not worth it!
