Here is a list of the enhancements:
The new version includes a lot of enhancements:1. New finger friendly user interface2. Recurring alarms3. Support for both mp3 and [...]
Simple and fun.
Gather round kids and let me tell you a tale.
It was 1979. The Susan B. Anthony Dollar was on the way to taking the US by storm. VisiCalc is introduced and the first Usenet is created. Heady times indeed.
Back in yonder days, there was no MMORPGs; people would get together to play “card games” These [...]
Trip down Nokia lane
Don’t get me wrong, I happen to be a big fan of Nokia smartphones, this article is not meant to bash Nokia smartphones in the slightest.
I took a short trip down Nokia lane a couple days ago in pondering purchasing an N95. As some of you already know, I already have an AT&T Tilt (HTC [...]
HTC TyTN II/Kaiser coming to T-Mobile
From phonenews.com: “The FCC has revealed a version of the HTC Kaiser/TyTn II with 1700Mhz 3G access, making it one of the first smart devices to be compatible with T-Mobile’s emerging 3G network.
The device also includes a front facing camera for video calls, but it is unknown whether T-Mobile will support the functionality on [...]
What about bricking? (or what exactly bricks a device)
So you’ve probably heard about being careful with flashing and such because it can brick your device. And you obviously know that bricking a device renders it unusable. But what exactly causes this brick?
Enter the world of embedded devices. Needless to say, your Tilt (herein called an embedded device) lacks a hard drive, so it [...]
HTC Touch Pro Video
With all the rumors just starting up on the Tilt II, and the Branded HTC Touch Pro coming to the USA. I thought I would post about this video by Arne Hess over at the::unwired(dot)com. I love Arne’s accent during the video and he does a nice job showing you what’s on the surface [...]
Full Screen Drivers & Manilla Screen Shots
Okay, I was actually a little nervous about trying this one out. But Hey, what’s a bricked phone when it comes to some cool screen shots of Manilla Goodness for you guys! Anyway, Everything went according to HTCClassAction’s instructions. Manilla does not work on the Kaiser and the screen rendering was really slow. I [...]
Drivers, now with “full-screen” support
Since the initial release of the drivers, there has already been one update and now I’m proud to present a second update, already. This new version features a hack that emulates full-screen mode thus allowing full-screen 3D applications (but it’s emulated so expect bugs). This is pretty much the only change in the drivers.
Also, there [...]
SpoonAlarm 2.0 To Be Released
I get all kinds of emails and see a lot of comments about how poor the Windows Mobile Alarm is. I use my Tilt’s alarm everyday to help get my rear in gear in the morning, and I would love to get a better alarm for it. I know there are some programs already out [...]
Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta Gets Update
First, thanks to tipster Josh for hookin’ me up with the latest news on Opera 9.5 Beta. It looks like Opera has released an update to the “buggy” Official 9.5 Beta release. Of course many people have been using it from the good folk over at XDA that have extracted it out of the [...]
