Dashwire for Windows Mobile

Dashwire is a great concept for Windows Mobile devices (well its a great concept for any phone really) but currently only works on WM and Symbian powered Nokia devices.

The short description is: Dashwire gives you access to your phone through a web browser.

It works by installing a client application on your phone which then uses whatever data connection it has available to send and receive information to the DashWire servers.

Once you're synced you can view all of you contacts, pictures, sms messages, etc that are on your phone right from the web interface - and it works great. You can also respond to SMS messages from your web browser and they'll be sent out from your phone without any additional steps.

Its a product I haven't used enough but I've recently become a fan again since I've set up my phone to use WiFi at home. I've also heard from one of the company's founders that they've got some killer new features coming out soon so keep an eye on the website.

Its a good way to get a feel for some of the features before downloading and installing it to your phone.

HTC Touch used on CSI

This may not be big news but its is a good sign for windows mobile. I was just watching an episode of CSI that I saved from a couple of weeks ago. The CSI team tracked down a victim's phone and it was quite clearly an HTC Touch.

I have to be honest - it was quite surprising to me. Living in Canada its rare to see people using Windows Mobile devices that don't work in hi-tech. As a software developer I would love to see the average cell phone buyer taking an interest is these phones.

We've been having fun designing the new version of Calc Pro.

The release date has slipped just a little bit but that's only because we've been adding more features so it should be worth the wait.

Minimun requirements have been upped to Windows Mobile 5 but that means a better looking and faster calculator.

As you can see in the screenshot we've done a lot with the look and we're adding financial calculations to the mix.

We should have another public beta ready next week but feel free to contact me if you'd like to try it out sooner.

The Windows Mobile Touch Screen version should be released in the first week of November, 2008.

Other platforms to follow.

Spore, Guitar Hero and Hexegems YouTube Videos up

Three more Windows Mobile game videos are up on YouTube.

I've personally been playing Spore and Hexegems - and I've been playing both of them way too much. My two favorite games out for the Pocket PC / Windows Mobile.
