Hello Android!!! Bye bye Windows phone

November 7, 2009 juandg Leave a comment

FINALLY!!! I got my Android device today. After a lot of research I finally went for the Samsung Moment.
Yeah, yeah you might think I’m insane getting this phone the day of the “Droid” launch, but I like Sprint better so I went for Droid’s little brother, as a matter of fact I’m typing this post from the Moment’s awesome keyboard and let me tell you it beats the hell out of the Droid’s keyboard.
I will be uploading pictures tomorrow.
Until then…

YAMB!!!

August 24, 2009 juandg Leave a comment

Yup, you got it right, this ain’t a Windows Mobile blog no more!!!

It’s been two good years devoted to Windows Mobile and I’ve got over 100.000 hits on this blog on the course of this time which I think is a great number but now that I’m getting back to blogging I consider that the mobile space has changed and opened so much I feel Windows Mobile is just a mere part of it and sadly is fading into the distance.

I’m even considering getting a different phone, probably an Android phone in the coming month so that is also an important factor of my decision to change this blog into Yet Another Mobile Blog (YAMB).

Hope you enjoy the new direction, I’m hoping to have a ton of fun again with it and I hope to keep counting with you as a reader.

Thanks again!!!

Windows Mobile 6.5

Windows Mobile 6.5

It’s finally here!!!!! despite the endless chain of leaks that at first I didn’t even credited (specially the screen shots), it has finally been announced.

I have to admit that the leaks helped built up all the excitment and maybe remove a little bit of the suspense  — but for what it’s worth, Windows Mobile 6.5 is now official.

November 26, 2008 juandg Leave a comment

 

This is my first video post, it started as a review of youtube play and ended up being a quick how-to guide on making an MP3 ring-tone from a YouTube Video using your Windows Mobile Device and Youtube play.

As I told you a while ago YouTube Play has a new version (1.0.0.11) and that’s the version featured in my video.

Enjoy!!!!

Unlocking HTC Devices with imei-chek

November 26, 2008 juandg Leave a comment

For the past few months I’ve had to unlock a variety of HTC Devices and despite searching the web like mad I always come to the same place… http://www.imei-check.co.uk/

When you want to unlock an HTC Device you can’t go wrong with these guys they ALWAYS WORK!!!!

So far I’ve unlocked an HTC S621 (Excalibur), HTC Touch (Elf), HTC TyNT II (Kaiser) and a QTek 9100 (Wizard) and imei-check was the safest, fastest and easiest unlocking method I’ve found.

They are not cheap (20 GBP per pop) but certainly they are worth it!!!!

YouTube Play Updated to 1.0.0.11

November 26, 2008 juandg Leave a comment

I’ve been talking a lot lately about YouTube Play.

Well it turns out they released a new version with some great features, they also happened to correct the only bug that I was able to find so far so I consider it premium quality now.

….CHANGELOG….

youtubeplay v1.0.0.11 updated 24/11/08, changes:

New – Fully works on Pocket PC 2003 now, found the horrid bug that stopped it
New – Will open and play VP6 (On2) FLV files, slow but should work
New – Uses newer version of FFMPEG SVN from a few days ago
Fix – Fullscreen should work if you start in landscape mode now

youtubeplay v1.0.0.10 updated 11/11/08, changes:

New – Added the facility to extract the audio as an MP3 from any saved FLV
Fix – HTC Streaming Media option should now work again
NOTE – I have now removed any efforts at getting this to work on devices with less than WM5, just wouldn’t work.

Skyfire Updated to 0.85

Making a decision on a next-gen Windows Mobile Browser just got tougher again. SkyFire has been updated to 0.85 and the new version brings a few new features. Namely: support for larger screens (hi Touch Pro!) and the best feature of all: an immediate download of the open beta. Just head to http://get.skyfire.com/.

I download it yesterday and it blew my away, I was literally absorbed last night playing with it and is just plain awesome… it’s a definitive keeper.

Since Skyfire is proxy-based, it is able to render fairly quickly server-side and then push the page out for your zooming pleasure. It’s also the best browser for multimedia since it’s able to handle most Flash video and media embeds on that proxy server and then send it out.
