iPaq Pocket PC

2009-10-31T12:10:00.000-07:00

If you have ever bought any technological gadget, then you know how quickly they can become obsolete. Technology moves at an increasingly rapid pace. A brand new computer built in 2007 is considered obsolete or slow by January of 2008. It is this rapid advancement in technology that keeps us on our toes and keeps us reaching for the next best gadget to buy. One of the most popular technological gadgets of our time has been the Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC.

Let's take for example the Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC 3835 as a great example of technology that was superb for its time.

The 3835 had the fastest StrongARM processor at 206 MHz and featured an expansion slot for additional capabilities to add software and hardware.

The biggest turn for Compaq/HP has come in the way of the pocket pc Smartphone.

As you know, technology never stops improving. Competitors force companies to come up with faster, better models as a way to keep pace with the demands of consumers who want bigger memory, faster processing speeds and slimmer designs. The Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC 3835 had to give way to the new 3900 series. Even that series is now becoming obsolete as Hewlett Packard continues to develop new technology.

It contains pc software similar to that found in desktop and laptop computers, but in versions of Pocket Outlook, Word and Excel. The 64 MB of RAM and 32 MB ROM was quite impressive to say the least and the 240 x 320 color screen beat out its competitor, the Palm, any day of the week.

It was a great palm pocket pc to own and use, but along came Hewlett-Packard's buy out of Compaq and suddenly a new world of possibilities opened up. The 3900 series models featured a faster XScale processor and offered more available features and programming.

HTC P4350: Smallest pocket PC handset

2009-10-31T12:08:00.000-07:00

HTC is considered to be a leading manufacturer of PDA phones, and the P4350 model from this brand has an expertise in this category. It is also known as HTC Herald and right now it is the smallest pocket PC handset with a slide out keyboard in the market. This PDA-style phone has a spring-loaded QWERTY keyboard, and this is a quad-band GSM device, with the GPRS and EDGE connectivity. In addition to this, you can get a 2 mega pixel camera, micro SD card expansion and stereo Bluetooth with this handset. It runs on Windows Mobile 5.0, so you can get all the usual office features, Internet Explorer, Windows media player and Outlook with this OS. You would also find push email support with it, which has been provided by the Microsoft’s “Direct Push” technology. Those who have used HTC wizard have found that while using the function and shift buttons on its keyboard, they incur some mistakes, especially at the time of typing passwords. To overcome such mistakes, the HTC has come out with two small blue LED’s on the top left of the keyboard in P4350, which can help you in knowing that whether the shift buttons or the functions are on or off. This will help you a lot while typing the passwords and you can avoid making such mistakes.

There are numeric keys on the top row of the keyboard in HTC Wizard, which is awkward while dialling. On the other hand, you would get numeric keypad in P4350 setup like in any ordinary phone. Above all, you can get shortcuts for the file manger and the communication manager in this handset.

Weather Forecast on your Pocket Personal Computer

2009-08-26T07:29:00.000-07:00

If your travel a lot and want to know what to put into your suitcase before you go to London, Moscow, or Beijing, then a little wonder called Spb Weather is all you need. Spb Weather is a Today plug-in for Windows Mobile PDA that will let you know when to take an umbrella or put on warm cloths that’s, of course, if you have the PDA at hand!

The real value of Spb Weather on PDA is its convenience. Instead of trying to get the weather forecast on the radio or TV, or surfing to a weather forecast site, you need to install Spb Weather onto your Windows Mobile PDA, and it’ll wirelessly deliver an up-to-the-moment worldwide weather report from a variety of weather sources and a full 7-day weather forecast. It’ll download up to 10 days ahead and that’s something other weather forecasters miss.

Spb Weather presents the weather forecast for a city as a clear horizontal graph with icons displaying sunny, cloudy, rainy or stormy conditions. Underneath there is a text box offering more detailed weather information. One day weather forecast can contain information on max and min temperatures, humidity, pressure, and wind speed and direction allocated by 4 periods of the day. The plug-in is skinnable and can look anything you want. Besides, it can be extensively customized to suite your personal tastes.

With Spb Weather, you’ll have control over various parameters, including frequency of updates, view modes, traffic statistics and even weather forecast data source. The weather information can be represented in one of four modes, including 7 days view, 5 days view, 4 days view and Multiline view. If a 4 day mode is selected, you can see four weather information entries for a selected city on the graph. The Multiline mode allows you to view five day forecasts for several different cities simultaneously. City entries are represented with separate graphs in this mode, rather than with tabs as in all other modes.

Weather information can be updated as frequently as you like. It can get updated every time your device is docked. Or, the weather forecast can be updated every time you add a new city to monitor in Spb Weather. You can specify an update behavior: this can be either a manual update (weather data will be downloaded only upon your request) or automatic update (in this case data will be downloaded after every specified time interval).

Setting Spb Weather to work is a breeze. You need to input which cities you want to monitor, and this can be done by typing in the city name, or its ZIP code. Custom names for cities can be specified too (Pete instead of Saint Petersburg). You are also prompted to select a weather source for the city. Once the city (or cities) is set, the program prompts you to specify preferable view, skin, units and decide whether you want to update the weather information manually or automatically, track hourly or daily weather data. That’s all! Ease of use and excellent usability earned Spb Weather place in top 10 most sold Windows Mobile programs

The program supports Spb Pocket Plus, so you can free up some resources and gain more space on the Today screen of your PDA as Spb Weather will run as a separate tab.

Spb Weather will help you get weather forecasts for virtually any city around the world and look up the local forecast too. At just $14.95, this nice plug-in for PDA represents excellent value to your eyes and looks to be a necessary purchase for any traveler. You can see it in action right now if you download its fully functional evaluation copy from www.handster.com. Enjoy accurate weather forecasts!

Carry Your MS Access Database With You In The Pocket!

2009-08-26T07:23:00.000-07:00

Until recently there has been no MS Access counterpart for Pocket PC. Fortunately the guys at Kaisoft thought it shouldn't be that way and came up with their solution to the problem of missing Microsoft Access for handheld devices. The thing is called Kai's Access Manager .Net and it can fit the needs of everyone from non-programmers to expert programmers.

Kai's Access Manager .Net lets you open and edit a Pocket Access Database as a file or from the Objectstore. Unlike other tools, it works fine with large databases and can open a table with up to 20,000 records as quickly as a couple of seconds. The table can be viewed either in Tableview or in Formview from where you can edit, delete and create new records. Professional users will like the opportunity to create own queries. For faster opening, a table/database can be indexed.

The program works on common sense. Once installed, you can jump into creating a database, entering information right out of the box without messing around complex features. Just load a copy of a MS Access Database from the desktop PC to your Pocket PC and get it automatically converted to a Pocket Access Database (.CDB). That's pretty much you need to do. The database on the Pocket PC will now be automatically synchronized with the one on the desktop, so that any changes to the Pocket PC database can be easily uploaded to the desktop database.

It's important to note that copying a MS Access Database to the mobile device doesn't work with Active Sync 4.5 and Vista’s Mobile Device Center. Instead Access Converter .Net should be used.

Let's say, for example, you control a website and all records database using Access. You would like to have a way of being out in the field with a database available but not requiring the need to carry a laptop with you. Kai's Access Manager .Net will help you. It can handle Access tables, let you read and edit records before sending data back to the desktop PC for updating the website.

Currently Kai's Access Manager .Net has been upgraded to version 7.9 which adds support for landscape mode and square screen.

Kai's Access Manager .Net 7.9 will run on Windows Mobile for Pocket PC 2003, 2003 SE, Windows Mobile 5, 6 and costs $24.00 (US).

Download Kai's Access Manager .Net and carry your MS Access database with you in the pocket!

Now You Can Watch Pocket PC Mobile TV Wherever You Are

2009-08-26T07:22:00.001-07:00

Just as you think that you've got the most out of your PocketPC, you are suddenly made aware that it can actually function as a Pocket PC Mobile TV. Yes folks, bring your television with you.

Not in the mood to watch television outside your home? Then download specialized software and make your iPAQ function like an iPAQ TV remote control inside the house. With the right remote control software, make your iPAQ a universal remote control that can operate your television, VCR, and other home or office audio and video equipment. This feature is already available for various models of the iPAQ.

Pocket PC Remote Control Functionality

The MPEG video player and Windows Media Player applications installed on your handheld can play various audio-video flicks on your iPAQ, Palm or Sony CLIÈ. Convert your PDA into a mobile televisions set by downloading or transferring form your PC your favorite full length films, television programs, film trailers, music videos, and more.

Remote control software from UEI Nevo, VITO Remote, TV Remote Controller and others are specially made for Pocket PC handhelds. They are compatible with certain PDA models from Acer, Dell Axim, HP Jornada, Fujitsu Siemens, HP iPAQ, Toshiba, and others.

There is also remote control software, like the OMNI Remote, specifically made for Palm-based handhelds like the Palm Pilot, Handspring, and Visor so don't think it's only the iPAQ that can be used as a remote control in your home.

Pocket PC remote control can be utilized between PDA handhelds and television sets with infrared engines. It can work from a distance of 2 meters to 10 meters between the PDA and the television set, depending on the iPAQ model's remote control software and infrared signal strength. When operating the television or other audio or video equipment, the PDA user should point the infrared signal of his PDA to the television.

Smart and friendly Pocket PC phone

2009-07-24T00:46:00.000-07:00

Windows Mobile based phones have great abilities for communication, productivity, entertainment. But more complex devices are harder to use. Most users while switching from regular cellular phones to PDA-phones notice that PDAs are harder to control when things come to simple phone tasks, like one hand operation, making calls from a phonebook and so on. For example, to write a new text message on the Windows Mobile phone you have to start Messaging application and tap "New" button. At the same time, there is a "New Message" item in every simple cellular phone's.

However, there is one significant advantage for Windows Mobile phones – these inconveniences can be improved with good software. Spb Mobile Shell will warp all the power of Pocket PC with easy and familiar interface. Let's take a closer look.

Spb Mobile Shell consists of three parts: a powerful Today Screen plug-in, a cell phone-like menu and a new standby screen.

Today Screen Plug-in

Today Screen Plug-in is a light version of Spb Pocket Plus, Spb Weather, Spb Time and some sort of photo-calling application.

One of the biggest advantages of Spb Mobile Shell Today plug-in is that it saves space on your Pocket PC's Today screen. When you install Mobile Shell it creates four Tabs: Home, Time, Weather and Dial.

The Home Tab is a smart quick launch panel. Its icon shows you battery charge status and the content is automatically formed from frequently used applications.

The Time Tab shows you time in three time zones of your choice and the next alarm time.

The Weather Tab shows a forecast for a selected city.

In the Dial Tab you can place photo icons of your contacts for speed dial.

Also, you can add any Today plug-in as a Tab. For example Spb Pocket Plus for customizable quick-launch of Pocket PC applications.

If you use and Spb Weather, the corresponding Tabs also have extended functionality like multiple alarms and weather forecasts for different cities.

Auto-hide function is another prominent feature of Spb Mobile Shell Today plug-in. It keeps Tab contents hidden when not in use, thus leaving Today Screen free to enjoy nice background pictures.

Phone-like menu

The second major part of Spb Mobile Shell is its Menu. It can be assigned to any hardware button or to the soft key of your PDA.

Spb Menu will look familiar to you if you have ever used cellular phone. It is really well considered. The menu has eight icons with submenus which perfectly fit in a landscape mode. For example, "Messaging" icon opens the submenu, where you can choose from items like: "Create new SMS", "Create New E-Mail", "Read SMS", "Read E-Mail". Very user-friendly, now you don't have to navigate through folders and menus of Messaging application.

Every icon contains such submenus with additional useful functionality that you can easily access. In Multimedia you can browse media library, start a slideshow or launch different modes of camera.

No need to tap on a screen with a stylus, all can be reached with a device navigation button or numeric keyboard.

"Now" Standby screen

Spb Mobile Shell also features a nice standby screen, called "Now". This screen can be activated manually, by the time-out or every time you switch your device on.

This screen shows all current information in a very tight form. Clock (digital or analog), weather for today, battery charge status and signal strength, missed calls, SMS, e-mails and upcoming appointments – all this information on one device screen and easy enough to read on the go - the thing mostly missed by users after switching to Windows Mobile Phone. Simple, nice and useful!

Conclusion

Spb Mobile Shell is a great application. Power means nothing without control, and if Windows Mobile potential is power, then Spb Mobile Shell is control.

It has practically everything that is needed for comfortable work with PDA like with an ordinary cell phone:

• Several Today Tabs, by the way, big enough to press with a finger
• Convenient dialer
• Photo-contacts on one of the Tabs
• Support of third party plug-ins
• Excellent menu: every application or setting can be easily reached without a stylus
• Under Tabs' stripe there can be other elements of Today Screen. The opening Tab will simply overlap these elements.

Besides, Spb Mobile Shell operates quite quickly, Tabs are switched instantly, and there is no difference in operating speed after the installation on Pocket PC.

As a minimum, this utility will allow to spare a considerable amount of space on Today by compressing six rows to one neat row on the screen. And as a maximum, it will enable to navigate a PDA with one hand only without a stylus.

With such application your device gets cell-phone usability and keeps all advantages of Pocket PC system, something that you should really give a try.

Are The TMobile Pocket PC Exchange And Repair Programs Worth The Effort?

2009-07-24T00:45:00.000-07:00

TMobile Pocket PC exchange and repair programs are just one of the things that consumers like about this top notch carrier. Through this program, a customer may ask for repair services or an exchange of his handheld via TMobile Pocket PC Repair Centers or through the assistance of a T-Mobile Customer Service representative.

And according to customer reviews, the T-Mobile Pocket PC repair and exchange service is something that consumers can indeed rely on.

TMobile's After Purchase Service

As a T-Mobile customer, you can avail of the exchange or repair program if your Pocket PC is still within the warranty period (usually one year) and that the defect or damage is through no fault of your own. If such is the case, T-Mobile will send a replacement Pocket PC.

Upon receipt of the Pocket PC replacement, you will then have to fill out a replacement form and send it with the defective Pocket PC within seven days. Otherwise, T-Mobile will charge you the amount of the handheld replacement.

If, however, your Pocket PC is more than a year old (i.e., out of the T-Mobile warranty period), a replacement can still be dispatched to you while repairs are being done on your Pocket PC for a $70 fee.

Don't want to pay the $70 fee? Call a T-Mobile Customer Service representative to know more about other options you may have regarding your defective or malfunctioning Pocket PC. Don't be shy; many Pocket PC consumers are unaware of the options they have when it comes to repairs, rebates and exchanges concerning their gadgets.

A note about T-Mobile exchanges - if you have an old model handheld such as a Toshiba Pocket PC, T-Mobile may not be able to provide replacements or repairs for these handhelds because their manufacturers do not make them anymore.

Why do I need a external antenna for my PocketPC?

2009-06-28T08:52:00.000-07:00

For stronger signal strengths, lesser static interruptions, and better GPS reception and accuracy, use an external antenna. PocketPC gadgets from HP iPAQ, Dell, and Palm, especially those with cellular phone and GPS capabilities, can work better with various signal enhancers.

An external antenna is one of the numerous PDA handheld accessories along with PDA cases, screen protectors, styluses, car mounts, cables, and others that ensure total Pocket PC protection and improved functions.

External Antennas For PocketPCs - Promoting Seamless Connectivity

For PDAs with cellular phone and GPS (global position system), an external antenna can work wonders. An external antenna can be attached to the Pocket PC device and can be conveniently placed on the roof of your car, at the top of your desk, etc. An external antenna for your Pocket PC can utilize more signals making communication faster and more convenient.

Even though some Pocket PC units, PDA phones, and cellular phones have their built-in antenna, an external one is still useful.

A built-in antenna has certain limitations in sending and receiving signals because of its restricted size so the user has to find the right place to conduct his call or use the GPS of his Pocket PC. An external antenna can easily get better signals because it can place itself in a better radio frequency (RF) environment.

Various points should also be taken care of before connecting an antenna to your Pocket PC. Other PDA accessories, like cables or connectors, are needed to connect the antenna to your Pocket PC.

Longer handheld cables lessen the signals, so shorter cables should be chosen where possible. The location of the external antenna should also be considered. For example, when you're on the road, the perfect spot to put the Pocket PC antenna is on the roof of the vehicle to widen handheld signal coverage.

Why Buy Anti Spyware Software When I Can Download it Free?

2009-04-27T07:25:00.001-07:00

Many Spyware software packages are being sold on the Internet. Many other packages are listed for free. Why should you pay for something that might be free?

First of all, there are many fakeware products out there on freeware sites. Fakeware is a term used to describe something that claims to do something but really does not. Spyware publishers know that many people are out there trying to avoid downloading their malicious programs so they masquerade as Anti-spyware in freeware sites. Their tools may claim to eliminate spyware from your computer when in reality they create new malicious threats on your hard drive and don't eliminate the problems that you already have. Your already bogged down computer could be further slowed with even more malicious threats than the ones you have today.

If you are dealing with reset homepages, slowed down computers and excessive pop-up windows plaguing your computer with advertisements and errors, you've probably got at least one spyware program on your computer. If you install a package that contains further problems, you could be jeopardizing your private information even further. Some Spyware packages exist to do more than advertise to you, some will scan your computer for every keystroke you type in the hopes of stealing personal information that could be used to financially steal from you in the form of personal identity theft.

Choose a Spyware program to not only eliminate the existing spyware from your computer but also one that fights off new threats in real time before they get a chance to infiltrate your computer's security system and steal your private information. Choose a program that will update your computer on an on-going basis and work un-obtrusively to protect your privacy and keep your computer at peak performance.

Be wary of any package that's simply listed for free. Software costs money to develop and usually something that looks too good to be true probably has a catch somewhere. Certain programs offer to clean out your computer of Spyware, Adware or Malware and offers free definition updates for twelve months from the date of purchase. This will protect your computer on an on-going basis from future threats. New spyware programs are written every day. A freeware program may only help you today but can't possibly combat new problems. Hackers come out with new ways to invade your computer every day. You need a software package that updates your computer continually to fend off new threats. Choose wisely, your privacy is at stake.

Save Your Computer Files From Hackers

2009-04-27T07:18:00.000-07:00

In everyday practice, we have always regarded a computer as the safest place to store our important information. In our routine lives, we save a lot of information on our computers. These include our work-related material, business information, financial detail and even our passwords and banking transactions.

Unfortunately, there are also a vast number of users across the world who are always trying to gain access to the information saved on your computers. By doing so, they can steal your personal details and use them for many unethical practices on the internet.

Who are hackers and how they affect?

A hacker is a computer user who uses a number of techniques to gain access to your computer, which otherwise you might not allow. Hackers can work directly on your computer to find your personal details or even gain remote access to your computer from far away. The main aim of the hacker is to lay his hands on the personal information stored on your computer.

After a hacker has gained access over your private information, he uses it to conduct a series of cyber crimes and frauds. The most common example is when a hacker uses your computer to attack the computers of other users. He might also use your details to commit financial frauds such as make purchases or withdraw money.

Above all, if a hacker manages to get control over your intimate or personal details such as photographs, videos or other information, you might end up facing a lot of public embarrassment.

Is protection available?

There are a number of options available for protection from hacking. The most effective way is to get some good privacy protection software for your computer.

Privacy protection software such as the folder-hiding packages work by applying strong security settings on your selected folders. By using such settings, you can actually hide and lock your folders. This will save you from the series of serious hacking consequences you might have to face otherwise.

Selecting privacy protection software

Privacy protection software should normally be selected keeping in mind your specific requirements.

The first step is to do some simple research on the internet where you will find a number of options. You will see there are many internet suppliers who provide a free trial of such software on the internet. All you have to do is download the free trial version and install it on your computer. The trial version normally lasts for a fixed period, ranging from 14 to 20 days.

As an alternative, you can also contact your nearest computer software provider who will provide you with many options.

2009-03-27T23:48:00.001-07:00

The pocket pc has revolutionized the way people use the personal computer. For one, personal computers are heavy and you can’t carry it with you wherever you go. On the other hand, the smaller version which is the laptop is much more convenient because you can carry it with you. However, if you will be given a chance to carry a tiny computer like the pocket pc, which will you choose -a personal computer, a laptop, or a pocket pc?

Most people will definitely choose the pocket pc. As the name suggests, it is a personal computer that can fit right inside your pockets. Advanced technology is creating wondrous things and one is the pocket pc. The personal computer has gone a long way ever since it was first introduced in the market.

Pocket PCs offer features that you can usually find in ordinary personal computers. You can access the internet and browse for as long as you like.

Those who want to enjoy, relax, and unwind can play with the games installed in the pocket pc. You can even download additional games if you like. Most pocket PCs are Wi-Fi or Bluetooth compatible. The latest technologies in the communication industry can now be enjoyed through the pocket pc.

The flash player is also now available for pocket pc users. The Ant Mobile Software offers FlashAssist that is designed for pocket PCs. You can download this software after paying for it and its current price in the market is only $14.95. Should you use the flash player or not? The decision is entirely yours. For those who browse the net frequently, they may find the flash player very useful.

However, some pocket pc users who have no use for it can just download other more important software. Besides, if you can’t afford it, then there’s no way for you to get it in the first place. Try to search the internet for cheaper deals on the FlashAssist. The price is almost the same in online stores and so if you think you will need the software, purchase it next time you have the right amount of budget.

Through the flash player, you can view the flash contents on your new pocket pc. Aside from that, it would be possible to open .swf files without the scroll bars. Flash contents are now possible to view in 3 different windows.

Do you think you will need the flash player for your pocket pc? Only can you can answer that question. If there is a great need for the flash player, install it in your pocket pc. But if you’re just going to save it to show other users that you have the technology but you’re not using it, then it’s a waste of money; besides, it would just consume a lot of memory space which you can still use for other more important software applications.

Pocket PCs are great and are suitable to various individuals. College students, career people, and businesspersons will benefit a lot from having the pocket pc. This is a good investment that you can benefit from because of its amazing features and capabilities.

Tips on Buying Your First Pocket PC

2009-02-08T22:33:00.001-08:00

Haven’t got a Pocket PC yet? But do you have intentions in getting one? Then read. This article is designed to give you exact tips on how to buy your very first PPC. It’s not that hard.

Tip # 1 – Smart Decision

First, decide why in the world would you want a PDA? If it’s just for fun, that’ll be fine. Before anything else, you have to realize your reasons why you wanted to own a PDA because if not, then you won’t enjoy it once the package has arrived. Your decisions must require smart thinking. If you think a PPC can help you throughout your daily routine or in business, it’s worth owning.

Tip # 2 – Educate Yourself

It is of major importance to know the different things about the device that you wanted to buy. You can’t just purchase it because it’s cool and looks fancy. You’re better than that. Read articles about the different capabilities of the operating systems. This will help you better understand the importance of your PDA. Furthermore, educate yourself with things about PPC. Remember, an informed consumer is a smart consumer.

Tip # 3 – Communicate With Others

Communication is important to better understand and appreciate things. Ask questions using the company’s forum page in order to be informed of the different aspects about your choice product. You can make an intelligent conversation with PDA manufacturers and ask about the goodness of their product and how it can contribute to your living. You can also ask other PPC users on how the device is working. You are still educating yourself with these tasks.

Tip # 4 – Visit Websites

Usually, websites have all the answers. If you’re not sure about how PPCs are bugging you, visit review websites and categories of their top pick. This will give you a better chance of identifying the different kinds of hardware that’s available in the market today. Reviews can also give you ideas on how a particular device is doing in the industry. Websites like these can also give you information on the things that you ought to do and not to do.

Tip # 5 – Go Out Shopping

Nothing beats walking around town looking for a PPC. Go inside PPC shops and ask the attendant to assist you on the ideal device. If this doesn’t satisfy you, you can ask the attendant to let you play with at least three to four models to be able to give you the feeling on how it is to hold one apart the other. Holding the models and working them will also give you ideas on the differences of one another.

Tip # 6 – Before a Purchase

Once you have found the right item for your purchase, don’t buy it just yet. Roam around and look for similar models first. This will save you from a couple of bucks if in case you have found something similar and cheaper than the first one. Compare prices intelligently. Be sure that the unit doesn’t have any packaging marks or bruises.

Tip # 7 – Enjoy

Now that you have your very first Pocket PC, turn it on and let the browsing begin. It doesn’t end there though, with your PDA, you can do numerous things aside from the usual activities.
