Windows Mobile, No Hard Feelings, But I'm Taking My Talents to Android

Windows Mobile, No Hard Feelings, But I'm Taking My Talents to Android

I installed Android on my HD2 a couple weeks ago. Initially, I thought I would continue to use Windows Mobile 6.5 as my main OS, but just hop into Android once in a while for games and apps not available in WM.

 

Opera Mini 5.1 for Windows Mobile

Opera Mini 5.1 for Windows Mobile

With all the talk focused on Android, iPhone, and lately Windows Phone 7, I’m glad the guys at Opera haven’t forgetten about the group of us who are still using Windows Mobile 6.5 (or earlier versions). Opera released a native version of Opera Mini 5 Beta for Windows Mobile earlier this year, and being a beta release, it was buggy. Sometime in September, they finally got a chance fix those bugs and improve the page rendering.

 

Yet Another Droppedboxx App for Windows Mobile

Yet Another Droppedboxx App for Windows Mobile

About a month ago, if you want access to your Dropbox files from your Windows Mobile phone, your only option is Ruttensoft's CloudFiles. Now, they have a competitor - Droppedboxx. It's not as fully featured as CloudFiles, but it gets the job done, especially if all you want to do is ftp between your phone and your Dropbox account.

The only feature I miss from CloudFiles is the internal text editor, but I can live without it. Price wise, the official releases for Cloud Files and Droppedboxx are $6.99 and $2.99 respectively.

It also keeps a history of your edits, like google docs. I use it as a poor man's svn to keep track of my edits to pages on Wopular, in addition to syncing design comps, and to-do lists. Since I already use my HD2 to pick stores to feature on the site, I thought wouldn't it be nice if I could also do some coding with it.

In Defense of Windows Mobile 6.5 Or Why It's Better than the IPhone and Palm Pre

In Defense of Windows Mobile 6.5 Or Why It's Better than the IPhone and Palm Pre

I don't understand why there's all this hate towards the new release of Windows Mobile 6.5. First of all, there's a reason why it's called 6.5. It's just a partial upgrade, not a full upgrade like Windows Mobile 7 is supposed to be. Nonetheless, 6.5's sole purpose was to make the device more finger-friendly. And for that purpose, it succeeds.

Windows Mobile 6.5 Arrives, Mostly Disappoints

The reviews of Microsoft's new mobile OS, Windows Mobile 6.5, are in -- and none of them are glowing. It seems that Windows Mobile 6.5 is more of a superficial cosmetic overhaul, not a bona fide upgrade capable of handling the mobile market's stiff ...
