FreeCaddie turns your Windows Mobile GPS phone into a gold range-finder

Thu, 22 May 2008 19:13:20 +0000

You don't have to be a good golfer to appreciate any little advantage that technology can give you on the greens. I don't think there's a single hole that I've ever swung a club a that didn't result in a double bogey, but that's besides the point. One thing that might make it a little easier [...]

Microsoft loves to confuse the hell out of mobile enthusiasts with their multitude of mobile services.

A unified "Live" web service platform [...]

Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0 earn Federal security certifications

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 22:01:44 +0000

Bet you didn't realize that your crash-prone Windows Mobile smartphone is secure enough to handle government and military duty, did you? Well, actually, the Windows Mobile platform is quite stable and secure - the main reason that WinMo gets such a bad rap from a stability standpoint is because of all those third-party applications that [...]

Palm announces unlocked Treo 750 Windows Mobile 6.0 for the contract-wary

Wed, 05 Dec 2007 22:11:06 +0000

If contracts and carrier-branding just aren’t your cup of tea, Palm’s got the perfect Treo 750 for you - an unlocked, un-branded version. That’s right, following on Palm’s hours-old launch of the Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrade for AT&T-branded Treo 750 users, the struggling handset manufacturer has announced that they’ll be selling the unlocked Palm Treo 750 with Windows Mobile 6.0 pre-installed for $549. Previously only available through AT&T, the unlocked Palm Treo 750 is basically the same handset that you will be getting from AT&T, sans the carrier’s logo and any AT&T-specific firmware tweaks. And, as a world phone, the Palm Treo 750 will be able to get its 3G-on in the US and Europe. So, if you’ve got the need, or are willing, to trade worldwide 3G productivity for some bulk and oddly-sized display, head on over to your Palm Store (we’ve only seen one retail store, ever) or hit the online store for your own unlocked Palm Treo 750.

Windows Mobile - it's a man's world

Tue, 27 Nov 2007 02:00:03 +0000

Not to come off too chauvinistic, but it would appear that it’s a man’s world afterall - at least as far as Windows Mobile is concerned. A study conducted by Microsoft found that only 14.6% of the Windows Mobile users are women, 85.4% of users being of the male persuasion. Could it be Microsoft’s (Windows Mobile’s) penchant for designing their user interface with a priority on function? Windows Mobile devices tend to be more logically and straight-forwardly designed then their fashion-oriented brethren, could it have something to do with the “eye-candy” factor? Now, before you go off on a tirade about how men and women are created equal, women are just as logical as men, have use for straight-forward designs, and all that jazz, just know that we’re all for women being considered on the same playing field as men. But, the fact remains that women prefer “prettier” colors, sleeker designs, and more attractive user interfaces - is it any wonder that Windows Mobile devices are more appealing to men, while fashion-phones like the Pink Baby Phat RAZR and SLVR are geared towards the female side? Windows Mobile had better start thinking more about design and the “eye-candy” factor if it hope to attract more women into using the WinMo platform. Afterall, 50.4% of all handsets belong to women.
