Push Gmail – Now On Windows Mobile

One of the biggest gripes I hear from Windows Mobile users is that there is no true way to get your Gmail pushed to your device.  Sure, you can simulate something like this by setting Pocket Outlook to check your mail every 15 minutes.  But really, this is not the same as push which alerts you as soon as a message hits your inbox.

Well, gripe no more (or for those of you who always have to have something to gripe about, find something else).  A free Windows Mobile add-on from developer gmurray will now allow you to push your email from any IMAP service, directly to your device.  And as everyone here knows, last year, Gmail started offering IMAP service, in addition to POP3.

You can download the program for free, here.  But before you do, I will just warn you that it is still a Beta, so it may have some imperfections.  For more information, you can also check out the developer’s blog and the program documentation.  Enjoy!!!

Samsung Omnia, pretty slick…

Samsung’s latest offering, the Omnia, really appeals to me. It’s packing Windows Mobile 6.1 professional, a 3.2” display, comes in 8 or 16 Gb flavours, and still has an added micro SDHC slot.

I’m salivating at the thought of this phone, another of the  Black Slabs arriving on the market at the  moment. It’s all a little Space Odyssey ‘esque. Though this review over at PhoneArena didn’t do anything to dampen my thoughts of getting a converged device. 

Have a look at the review, it’s really in depth, and if your a WM devotee, it might be your next phone.

AT&T brings “Ugly” to the BlackJack II

Yes - I said Ugly. Oh … wait. That Ocean Blue isn’t quite ugly enough for you? Here … have some Pepto Pink.

So … feeling a little nausea setting in? I know I am. Having owned the original BlackJack and having heavily considered a red Blackjack II this new color scheme quite frankly horrifies me. I’m not sure who at Samsung came up with the idea of taking a very slick, sleek and sexy device and teaming it up with a Hello Kitty style color scheme … but they need a good smack in the back of the head to set themselves right again. I just can’t even begin to fathom how this can be seen as a good decision, especially with the white face. Here’s to hoping that when they hit the shelves (soon-ish at $99 w/ 2 year contract) they look a heck of a lot better in person then they do in the photos. Oh … and of course they’ll come with WinMo 6.1 although I don’t think that really is going to help with the nausea.

First Look: Opera Mobile Internet Browser 9.5 Beta 1

We have all known it was coming for months.  It has been heralded as the best thing to happen to Windows Mobile since…well, since Windows Mobile.  In their words, it is a program which, “completely reinvents the web browser on mobile phones.”  No, we are not talking about Safari or the iPhone.  This is the Opera Mobile Browser 9.5 (beta 1).  There has been quite a bit of hype surrounding this program, and you all know what that means: there is a lot of room for excitement, and also a lot of room for disappointment.  Let’s take a closer look and see how it fared.

Quick Look: Yahoo Go 3

The dust has settled, and Yahoo is out to prove that it doesn’t need Microsoft, Google, or anyone else in order to maintain its Internet dominance…er…level of mediocrity.  I mean, let’s face it, Yahoo just does not carry the same weight it once did.  But that is not to say Yahoo does not still have any winners in its arsenal.  In fact, the free Yahoo! Go has proven itself, in the past, to be an outstanding all-in-one Internet resource.  This latest version sees some significant changes to the interface as well as some wild customization options.  Let’s take a closer look.
