Going Keyboard-less with the HTC Touch

On my way home I had a transit stop in Singapore airport which is a dangerous place if you haven't slept much for a week and you spot a cool piece of technology. Earlier this week I had the opportunity to play with the iPhone and whilst I was impressed with the overall look and feel (due credit must...

Qtek (aka HTC Wizard) v's the HTC Vox

So today a Qtek branded HTC Wizard (aka the K-Jam) arrived on my desk and I have once again renewed my subscription as a Pocket PC user. While I'm not sure Dave agrees with me, I definitely prefer the usability of the Pocket PC in contrast to the Smartphone navigation mechanism. Especially when you...

HTC Vox Alignment

In my previous post I covered a number of the nice features of the HTC S710 (ie the HTC Vox). I did allude to the fact that the keyboard didn't feel as balanced and as natural to use as the K-Jam keyboard. In this post I hope to be able to explain some of this: In this picture I have marked in a...

HTC Vox 1 day on

After spending a day with my brand new Vox I thought that I'd share some of my thoughts regarding this device. In the past I have always been a Pocket PC/PDA kinda guy but when I saw the HTC S710 (aka the HTC Vox) I decided to splurge on a Smartphone device. Of course these names are now defunct...

Intilecta on Deepfish

Last week there was quite a bit of hype around a new browser concept coming out of Microsoft Research, Deepfish . I was luck enough to be included in the beta so I thought I'd share some comments. Before we look at Deepfish I thought I'd test out Windows Mobile 6 to see what the Intilecta website looks...

WM6 ROM for K-Jam

Having unsuccessfully attempted to image my device to WM6 I thought I'd check with i-mate to see if they had plans to release a WM6 ROM for this device: Jose> Welcome to club i-mate support. My name is Jose, how can I help you today? Nick> Hey Jose - quick question regarding the k-jam Nick>...

More emulator goodness - Device Emulator v2 ships

One of the significant improvements made in Visual Studio 2005 was in the device emulator technology. In fact so profound was this change it was badged as Device Emulator v1 - this is mainly because it is the first version that could run as a standalone application without requiring Visual Studio to...

Things that fall through the cracks

Over the weekend I think my brain must have been fried by the warm weather Perth was experiencing (either that or it was a result of the closing party for the Verandah Club - part of the Festival of Perth ). Firstly I failed to notice that the SDK for Windows Mobile 6 had been released. Secondly, and...

Windows Mobile Resources

With the announcement of Windows Mobile 6 now behind us it is time to get serious about looking at just what this new platform is going to give us. As usual I'm less interested in the changes made to the overall user interface and more interested as to what the platform gives us as developers. Yesterday...
