More HTC Hero Details: HTC Sense, Multi-Touch, Teflon Coating, Flash Support
* The HTC Hero will be the first HTC device to launch with HTC Sense, the new UI that HTC is actively showing off. It's the widget-based, sleek and sexy UI that we once knew as 'Rosie'. It pretty much rocks. * You'll be glad to hear that multi-touch will be supported on the HTC Hero (not sure how wide support will be) * The white version of the HTC Hero will sport an industry-first Teflon coating to keep it clean and spotless. The finish is supposed to be 'soft to touch' and will resist dirt, stains, and even fingerprints. Though white obviously gets dirty easier than black, why couldn't they just offer the Teflon option to black too? * Flash Support will launch with the HTC Hero. Double-tap to watch full screen. Sweet! * 3.5 mm headphone jack * System-wide search and Social Networking Tools figure in heavily on this device - David Cook via Bookmarklet
Official HTC press release: http://www.htc.com/www... - David Cook
My car's interior has a Teflon coating (as does much of my cookware ;). I'm pretty sure this phone will end up being slippery while the coating is still on there, and look horrible as the coating begins to peel off after a few weeks in your pocket. Otherwise, it sounds nice. - xero
I have to admit this makes Android look very impressive against the competition for sure. HTC is doing a great job as usual with their top notch hardware. - Sloan Bowman

do apple and adobe have beef? - Tate via Bookmarklet
yup adobe offered flash lite to apple and they said no we want the full version but adobe said it wont work on there hardware. now that they have full version ready apple dont want to know and adobe wont offer it again - Rollz Chamberlain
I don't think that's correct, Rollz. Apple is not providing all the access Adobe requires. Of course Adobe wants Flash on the iPhone. - Christopher Carr

YomoMedia – new combination desktop/mobile RSS reader for Windows Mobile
Will try it, been using Newsgator till now - Roni Segoly
Works like a charm :) - Marco Barreto
indeed, just installed. It might replace my podcast client for me as well - Roni Segoly
Been using this client for about a week now and am quite taken with it. I'd LOVE for a later version to add a "post to twitter/friendfeed" option to make sharing articles easier! - Kris Joseph
I quit using it for podcasts as I prefer the client I have, it has a player which 'remembers' at which point I stopped listening to the audio file and I can resume from that point. - Roni Segoly
Jim Lavin
I just posted video of my new FriendFeed client for Windows Mobile at http://codingsmackdown.tv/content... check it out and let me know what you think.

The link leads no where - Roni Segoly
Roni: Thanks I changed domains over the weekend and forgot to change the link. Its working now. - Jim Lavin
I want it!!! - capitano
Am I missing the alpha .cab download link? - veo
that works very good ;-) - masa via twhirl
veo: look for the latest post and you can download the current release at the bottom of the post. Currently it is in beta. - Jim Lavin
LOVE! FINALLY!!! - David Cook
It's cool, functions well. First Friendfeed client Ive found. There's a surprising lack of support for it. Two suggestions: 1. Pretty up the interface. 2. Make it a stream you can scroll through with all the pictures and links on the posts like the web experience instead of showing one at a time. - Nathan Mylott
Nathan: Thanks for the suggestions. I am working on an entire new UI for the application. Do you feel that shoving all of the posts, images and comments on the single screen would be better than breaking them out like I have? I've always thought that was too much information on a single screen, but I've noticed the Facebook client for WinMo does something similar. maybe what I can do is... more... - Jim Lavin
I would like that much better Jim. After using it for a couple days I have realized that what you have right now is too much work for viewing just one post. - David Cook
I also lack the ability to see all messages like in FF or RSS feed and choose which one to open - Roni Segoly

Free Twitter Client App for Windows Mobile - Twikini - http://www.trinketsoftware.com/downloa...
twikinis.jpg
I tried it. Not as feature rich as PockeTwit but crazy fast. Even faster than TinyTwitter. I'm going to keep it on my phone in case of emergencies. - Sweyn
Which one would you recommend, I'm yet to find a really good one. - Amit Morson
I would say PockeTwit if you want all the features like ping.fm integration, view conversations, and such. Twikini if you just want something fast. I would say try both and make your own decision. - Sweyn
Twikini isn't free anymore. I use PockeTwit. It's excellent and has more features than Twitter itself. You really don't need to pay for a Twitter app, that's just stupid. PockeTwit is more than you need. I hear Tiny Twitter is good too. - Nathan Mylott
I have pocketwit and I swear by it. Must have! - David Cook

SPB Mobile Shell 3 is around ;) Nice shell + Facebook support (for now you can only update your contacts' display images, but it's good to be able to sync with Facebook)
i'm tesing it since 3 days ago. I get big bug with my HTC Touch Diamond. Otherwise that work perfectly. I luv the carrousel to show the Contacts. - masa via twhirl
Many Windows Mobile 6.5 using friend said that the program is too slow. Windows Mobile 6 or 6.1 can provide best performance for the program. - Hussein EROL
the facebook support is cool, but it needs a bit more work. i've got close to 800 friends. so trying to link a friend to their facebook contact is not an easy task without a search feature. - ramon
I've used many different interfaces on my phone and this is the only one I never got sick of. Of all the ones I tried, I always liked them at first but always ended up going back to Touch Flo after a week or two. With this, it's all I use and I haven't looked back. It's ironic though, skinning my Touch Flo would've been nice but I didn't discover that till right before I made the switch to SPB 3. - Nathan Mylott
I've had it for about a month and LOVE it. - David Cook

This also has links on the bottom to other UI replacements. - Nathan Mylott via Bookmarklet
Screens full of icons just do not interest me. I like for my UI to be more imaginative. - MiniMage (FakeLifePerson)
Oh I don't either. So many iPhone snobs talk about how great the iPhone interface is but I think it's completely boring and unimagintive. Just a board of pictures tacked to it? Cmon, a 1st grader could come up with that. Only Apple could get away with that lack of ingenuity and be called a genius for it. - Nathan Mylott
Though I did like Winterface. I switched back and forth between it and Touch Flo 3D Fuzeberry until I got SPB Mobile Shell 3 and now that's all I use and I never get sick of it. - Nathan Mylott

Friendfeed for Windows Mobile beta released
Jim Lavin
FriendFeed for WinMo Alpha Release 2 Ready New in this release: 1. Comments are now active. 2. You can post comments to an entry and it will show up at the end of the comment list. 3. You can refresh an entry while on the comments screen so you can keep up with discussions in real-time. 4. Media is now active. Still needs more work to correctly...
Tell us when it is available for download please - Roni Segoly
Send an email to jlavin@jimlavin.net and I'll send you the current alpha to play with and send new updates as I release them. - Jim Lavin
Just posted the latest Beta release at http://codingsmackdown.tv. Let me know what you think. - Jim Lavin
Works fine for me, HTC TOUCH HD. Thanks - Roni Segoly
Roni: You have to be kidding me! You mean this version finally started working for you? I expected you to tell me this version failed like all the rest. I'm glad to hear it works! - Jim Lavin
:) But the response time is slow when I browse between the messages, sometimes the counter will update but I wait for the messages to refresh. I changed response time to 30s and it is better but sometime will get stuck for time till it refreshes. Maybe its my connection but I think I have good reception - Roni Segoly
I could see it being slow between downloading feeds, but it shouldn't be slow between messages. They are all loaded into RAM and everything is being handled in the background. Has anyone else noticed a slow response when navigating between messages? - Jim Lavin
No, I haven't. - Sweyn
Roni: Is it slow when you switch between feeds? I could see that being an issue with a lot of data in the feed. I think that has to be with the XmlSerializer I am using to parse the data from the FriendFeed API. I'll see if there might be a faster way to parse the data. - Jim Lavin
Roni: I got similar results with some large feeds. On average my normal feeds in under 10 seconds, but twit-conversations took about 80 seconds due to the fact that several posts had 1000+ comments. I know this has to do with the XMlSerializer. I'll see if I can get it fixed in the next release. - Jim Lavin
Jim I did not try all my friendfeed groups (this is what you call feeds?), it is not too slow when I retrieve a feed, only when I try to browse through the messages some will be immediate and some will take much more than 10 seconds, and the counter will be updated even before the message arrive so it confuses. But I want to clarify something, you change feeds on top, you browse within... more... - Roni Segoly
It works great on my HTC 6800. Thank you!!! - David Cook

Does anyone know where I can get Arabic free KB to my WM6?
Roni Segoly
Google mobile app. How do I download it? I just hard reset my mobile and download all from scratch. I can't find the google mobile app cab file. From mobile there is no link to it and from elsewhere it always leads me to the download page where I need to enter tel number for download SMS (but I am not in US so +1 will not work for me),
Roni Segoly
Does anyone know simple app that can send my GPS location by email, something simple just for this purpose
I have not tried it but it looks good: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-dow... - Sweyn
I have smartphone tracker on mine http://smartphonetracker.blogspot.com/ , sits in the background quietly, can send co-ords via sms/email, silent sms location trigger (if your phone gets stolen, send a text message and it'll mail/sms where it is) sends out a google maps link too with the co-ords :) also does things like send out message when sim card is replaced, well worth the install - Stuart Evans
Stuart, it works like a charm, including camera capture, many thanks - Roni Segoly
+1 for smartphone tracker! - veo

The free applications I am looking for for my windows mobile. Internet radio, MP4 player, FF client. And of course task sync with Google
Radio365 offers a few random free internet radio stations without buying. I'm pretty sure the Pandora app was free. FF client is in beta (search inside FriendFeed for Jim Lavin). - manielse
Pandora is only for US - Roni Segoly
Ya there is Radio365 or Last.fm for radio if you want. - Sweyn
Last FM has only the scrobbler now - Roni Segoly
i need last.fm scrobbler roni. can you give me a link ? - Dogan Tuncer
However, you can choose to listen to your own feed and that works. - Sweyn
I will try again but when I looked at it I could not see a way to pay your own feed - Roni Segoly
How do you make scrobbler play your feed? I installed cannot find such settings - Roni Segoly
What app exactly are you using? - Sweyn
Pocket Scrobbler - Roni Segoly
I was using internet radio on my Dell Axim X5 maybe 4 years ago and on my Sprint Apache two or three years ago with GSPlayer and Shoutcast. http://www.smartphonedaily.co.uk/tips-tu... - MiniMage (FakeLifePerson)
The GSPlayer with PLS file works perfectly, one issue though I could not find way to download PLS files from Shoutcast - Roni Segoly
Is the problem getting it to actually be saved to the device? When I've had trouble with PIE opening a file instead of saving it, I've tried with a different browser, like Opera. It's been a while since I used Shoutcast (the last time being somewhere around the launch of iPhone 2.0, just so I could inform everyone that we already had radio), so I am not up-to-speed on things. - MiniMage (FakeLifePerson)
I tried with my PC and mobile on Internet explorer and Opera I can't find option to save PLS file - Roni Segoly
I'll have to look at this after I've had some sleep. - MiniMage (FakeLifePerson)

No PIE 6 On Current Hardware? Failure, Microsoft…Pure Failure - http://www.mytodayscreen.com/no-pie-...
No PIE 6 On Current Hardware? Failure, Microsoft…Pure Failure
"Microsoft has stated that there will be no update for any current hardware to add Pocket Internet Explorer 6. Regarding making IE Mobile available as a separate download or update, the rich media experiences that IE Mobile 6 enables require more powerful, advanced devices. That is why it will not be available as an upgrade or direct download for current phones, but rather will be made available on new phones." - Kathleen Anderson via Bookmarklet
And my HTC Mogul will have to limp along with its memory deficiency until Sprint has something that has PIE6. I also have my iPhone to amuse me. - MiniMage (FakeLifePerson)
I'm using Iris Browser, and got the benefit of many Webkit-HTML5 based webapps for iPodTouch / Android. Currently, PIE is enough. - ozero
I can't remember if I've tried Iris or not. I tried lots of them. There's always something missing. I hate the browsers that make me go to a different page to type text, for example. The Java ones do that. - MiniMage (FakeLifePerson)

New here. is there FF client for Windows mobile?
I have been lobbying for this for months. There currently isn't one and I have asked may developers. - Sweyn
I just got an update from my Google Groups thread that someone is working on a FF app for Windows Mobile. I will post the link here when he does. - Sweyn
It can be resolved somehow by adding Gtalk client to Windows mobile and have all messages set to come via Gtalk. But its not a solution. - Roni Segoly
I would love to see it when it comes out. I also couldn't find a good client for Twitter. - Amit Morson
I just posted a video on one I'm developing at http://codingsmackdown.com/codings... let me know what you think. - Jim Lavin

Tcpmp (http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/) if you want free or Coreplayer (http://coreplayer.com/) for a better interface if you want to pay a little - Sweyn

Coreplayer works great. - Amit Morson
Is coreplayer free? I see only 'buy'..... - Roni Segoly
No Coreplayer is payed. TCPMP is free. - Sweyn
