I’ve continued to research ways to get my iTunes download of The Office to play on my 8125. While I couldn’t get TCPMP to work (read the post here) my buddy Steve pointed me to VideoLAN. I’ve played around with VideoLAN on the desktop, but didn’t know they offer a Windows Mobile version. Once [...]

I was reading Brad Feld’s rather funny post on his experience with iTunes DRM. This post isn’t to make fun of Brad, but to share in his pain. I had a similar painful experience this past weekend and spent about two hours trying to get The Office to play on my 8125 device.
I downloaded the [...]

I visited some friends in Irving this weekend and brought along my 8125 and Bluetooth GPS receiver. I promise to post on my configuration in the next few days. On my drive home to Dallas I decided to scan for wireless access points. While leaving my old neighborhood I found about 10 access points in [...]

BenQ has released some nice Symbian devices based on UIQ.  Today I stumbled across the P50 which has to be one of the sweetest Windows Mobile devices I’ve seen.  It reminds me a tad bit of the Motorola Q.  I couldn’t get the “Where To Buy” link on the bottom right of the page to [...]

Ever since I purchased my 8125 I’ve been needing extra storage space. I’ve been shopping around for a miniSD card over the past week, but have yet to take the plunge. I was completely suprised yesterday when my good buddy Steve sent me a 512MB miniSD card for my birthday. He completely read [...]

I’ve been wanting to do a cellular coverage mashup for a while. My idea is to allow consumers with mobile devices to run a little program on their device that uploads RSSI to a remote server. I think this would be an excellent way to keep the cell phone carriers in check via live [...]

Many thanks to Austin for helping me upgrade my 8125 to .NET CF 2.0.  We had to go to a little extra work to pull the cab files out of the installer file.  Check out msiexec for more details.  For some reason ActiveSync wasn’t copying the necessary files over to the device.  We ended up [...]

Today I was busy trying to multitask on my 8125. I kept receiving out of memory errors and was pretty frustrated thinking that I already pushed my device to the limits. Luckily I stumbled across the Running Programs list in the Memory screen. You can access this by going to Start > Settings > [...]

I recently read that Pocket IE for Windows Mobile supports JavaScript 1.5. This came as a complete suprise. For some reason I thought it would be far behind its desktop counterpart. At some point I’m going to test the DOM support as well.
I decided to do a bit of testing to see what it would [...]

After only a few short days with my Cingular 8125 I continue to be fascinated with Windows Mobile 2005.  I recently stumbled across Pocket Putty and was immediately hooked.  While the application is fairly simple (not to belittle the developer at all), it’s extremely powerful.  It basically lets me open an SSH session with my [...]
