ActiveSync 4.5
5 years ago
ActiveSync 4.5 has been released and is available for download from Microsoft’s site.
Before you rush off to download and install, consider the following: there’s little new in this release. The usual promise of faster USB synchronization is wearing a bit thin. After all, USB can only be as fast as it is. If you often use the remote PC Sync via WiFi or LAN then you’re out luck. Microsoft has removed these features due to Enterprise customer feedback around security issues. Uppercase for Enterprise?

By no stretch of the imagination does this blog get close to enough hits. Numbers are rising steadily but it’s not well known. Yet, the amount of spam I receive on a daily basis is absolutely astounding. I’d hate to know what amounts of spam more publicized blogs have to contend with.Google Mail available to everyone
Getting access to a Google Mail account used to be by invitation only. It was a question of bribing or begging someone who had one to send you an invite.
I noticed this morning that Google has dispensed with this formality and is offering an account to anyone willing to have one. I’ve found GMail indispensable and use it on a daily basis. There’s almost 2.8GB of available space for your E-mail, access from third-party mail clients and convenient web access, amongst others. If you’ve been yearning to grab a GMail account, or just want to try it out, head on over to Google’s Mail page and sign up.
Windows Mobile 6 creeps into the spotlight
5 years ago
Windows Mobile 6 has launched with a vengeance. Every manufacturer has at least one device sporting the new operating system. All manufacturers waited for the 3GSM conference in Barcelona to announce their product ranges. For most of us it’s the repeat of a well-known cycle: slowdown in application development and support for Windows Mobile 5, arrival and presentation of new applications with Windows Mobile 6 as a minimum requirement, the never-ending marketing attack to convince us that our current devices simply don’t cut it. Then…capitulation.
Here are some of the new ones to whet your appetite (and rock your wallet):
Clockwise from the top left we have one of the imate Ultimate edition devices, HTC Vox, ASUS Aries and the Toshiba (remember them?) G900.
What now, my dear JAMin?
SAPGUI 7.1
Don’t expect much in the way of change after installing the latest Netweaver 2004s SAPGUI 7.1. It still looks the same as the 6.40 release, but offers increased downward compatibility and the necessary support for the latest NW04s applications. The installation program is a lot more polished but still asks for a reboot seconds after the installation has started. At least the reboot now message is more subtle and you’re less likely to accidentally select it.
The GUI DVD also includes the latest Java-compliant front-end. This will form a standard part of newer Netweaver 2004s installation kits, or the SAPGUI itself may be order directly from the SAP Service MarketPlace.

Spb Mobile Shell
5 years ago
Every once in a while an application comes along that revolutionizes the way in which one makes use of one’s handheld. This may seem like an over the top statement, but software is certainly the only way you’re ever able to change the behaviour, functionality and look and feel of the device you spend most of the day using. If you’re like me, at least
The Spb Software House has been around for a number of years and has developed a reputation for solid software for Windows Mobile devices. Their latest offering is revolutionary, not because it addresses a very specific application or requirement, but rather because it provides a new interface for Windows Mobile. Spb Mobile Shell is one of those applications that you’ll not want to uninstall. It’s almost certain to make everyday working with your handheld easier.
Crossbow announced
5 years ago
Crossbow was the erstwhile name of the new Windows Mobile 6.0 operating system for PDA’s and smartphones. With everyone and their dog selecting this as the de-facto standard for their devices, it seems that Nokia and Sony-Ericsson are the few remaining stalwarts opposing M$soft. For how long, I wonder?
In any case, this isn’t about that. Instead, it’s about another ridiculous naming convention Microsoft seems to have chosen for their mobile operating system. Like the Vista line that features roughly 95 differently named releases of the same software, Windows Mobile derivatives are
- Standard which is optimized for devices without touch screens (previously known as Smartphone)
- Professional which designed for devices with touch screens (previously known as Pocket PC Phone Edition)
- Classic which is designed for traditional touch screen devices, which do not provide mobile telephony (previously known as Pocket PC)
