Windows Mobile App Store

By Paul Baker - Last updated: Sunday, November 29, 2009

I guess I should check out the Windows Mobile App Store.  It does not have the quantity of apps that the iPhone does.  I hope to find a few good apps (free) to try out.

HTC TouchPro 2

I got a new phone maybe two weeks ago.  The HTC TouchPro 2 from T-Mobile.  I have not found all the features but it was easy to connect to my office email via OWA.  It is running Windows Mobile 6.1.  It has GPS and some cool games.  I was concerned about the Touch Screen (not [...]

No Dictionary for iPhone

By Bryant Hester - Last updated: Monday, August 10, 2009

So, in an unprecendented move, Apple decided that a new dictionary app for its iPhone was too racy for the common man. The app was given a 17+ rating for having words that a regular dictionary has in it. If Apple ran our schools, does this mean that grade-school pupils would be denied the ability [...]

Top Phones

If my phone is not in the top ten phones for the last quarter that means I do not have to worry about it being hacked right?  The iPhone did not rank number one – I wonder if they make an app for that?
The IDC’s list of top ten phones for second quarter of 2009

iPhone Hacked

By Paul Baker - Last updated: Sunday, August 2, 2009

It is not news that the iPhone is a target or that it has been hacked.  All smartphones, hell all phones, can be hacked.  What is very interesting and was just announced at the Black Hat security conference was that it can be hacked by sending it a txt message.  How can you avoid that? [...]

Mobile Internet Cap

Several countries are having problems keeping up with mobile bandwidth needs.  Why?  Porn.  I find it pretty amazing that people look at porn on their cell phones.  I have a difficult time imagining someone on a bus or a train looking at porn with lots of people standing around but apparently it is an issue.  [...]

myTouch

T-Mobile has a new Android phone – myTouch.  I have been reading about the features and keep looking for a new phone with Outlook Sync capability.  And the sync has to be wireless – I do not want to go back to sync with a wire.  Moving to a wireless sync was a fantastic thing. [...]

Fennec

The Firefox browser for mobile phones.  The first beta was released.  I should try it on my Windows Mobile phone – odds that my phone has enough memory?  Unlikely.

Windows Mobile 6.5

By Paul Baker - Last updated: Wednesday, February 18, 2009

My T-Mobile Dash started out with Windows Mobile 5.  There were minor problems with the phone and/or Windows Mobile 5.  So when Windows Mobile 6 was released and T-Mobile had an upgrade option I soon backed up my data and upgraded.  It was much improved with different minor problems – who knows if it was [...]

T-Mobile G1

By Paul Baker - Last updated: Monday, October 13, 2008

Well T-Mobile has sold out of the G1 phones.  I would have been on the list of owners if it would sync my contacts as I have mentioned before.  Maybe I can get my wife to swtich so I can play with it?
