anybody using Epocrates on XDA II / i-mate?

Anyone using Epocrates successfully on the XDA II/ imate?
After a fairly routine installation, the the autoupdate feature of Epocrates Pro for Pocket PC freezes up in my PC and the drug databases are not installed. My PC platform is Windows Me and the imate has the preinstalled "Windows Mobile Pocket PC Phone edition Version 4.20.1081 (build 13100)".
Any suggestions are welcome..

Still not able to get it to work. Epocrates customer support has offered a few simple solutions like resetting and reinstalling - none of which have worked so far.
Is there a real difference between the "Windows Mobile Phone edition" which comes preinstalled on the XDA2 versus the "Pocket PC 2003" since I wonder that is why it wont work on the XDA2?

Epocrates worked finally after upgrading to the new ROM from clubimate
ROM version - 1.52.00WWE
ROM date - 10/23/03
Epocrates support staff have been very good through all this and did refund me the purchase when it did not work with the original ROM

Mac users...( everyone rolls their eyeballs skyward! )

Are there any other Mac users out there with XDA II's or is it just me.
If there's anyone else, have you guys tried PocketMac or MissingSync yet ?

Hello. I am using a mac! I am new to PPC, I switched from a P900
I am using pocketmac, It works great. I need to figure out how to use this as a bluetooth modem.

im on a mac (ibook g4 12 inch) and i love it
i was a pc user for the last 12 years till i got the ibook, and as its going right now, my next pc will probably be a dual g5
anyways...
sucks microsoft doesnt make sync software for it, but ms did buy a shipement of g5s recently for testing virtual pc, so who knows.
i dont care to sync my phone with entourage or anything, my phone #s are stored on my sim card, and i use a sandisk cruzer to transfer music to it
i have used pocketmac 2.0 demo, and its cool, but it wont let u use the xda 1 as a modem, so its pretty worthless for me
dunno... my 2 cents thow.

What about installing apps from a mac ?
According to Pocket Mac, they provide an app which extracts .cab files from the .exe files which you download as installer files for PC's. Does this cab extractor work every time ?
I'm currently using my daughter's PC to install apps and I have to say, ActiveSync blows bigtime, so I really need to dump the PC connection and setup a Mac one !!

I can not install the Apps from my Mac, I need to use my PC

syncing with missingsync on mac
Anyone get missing sync to work on the mac? So far we cannot get the Qtek 2020 to be recognized on powerbook g4 17" as a volume in isync so missingsync can do its thing. Cradle doesn't seem to work nor does usb cable.
Any help would be appreciated.

i've been using pocket mac for over a year now. the new version is great. i'm running an original xda, not the 02.
QUESTION FOR THE AMERICANS HERE: where did you guys get your xda 02s? i'm really interested in getting one. of course my wife want me to sell the p900 i just bought first...uggghhhhh.

Yes, but has anyone actually install .exe files on the XDA WITHOUT using a PC and only using the supplied CAB extractor ??

Visual Studio.NET 2003 - Developing for XDA II (screen size)

Hi,
I am in the process of converting some of my Pocket PC 2002 apps to Pocket PC 2003 and I noticed the applications appear in the wrong place for the XDA II.
I have worked out the XDA II screen is a different size to my Dell Axim device, does anyone know what the exact screen size is (in pixels) for the XDA II please?
*I recommend Visual Stdio.NET 2003 to anyone who is thinking of developing applications for the XDA II device, VS.NET 2003 is very easy to use and you can have an application up and running within an hour*
Cheers,
Taz

and better yet with 2005 which is still beta
you can also program to the pda's without
.net if you dont want to something which you
need eMbedded visual studio to do today

Will my PPC software run under WM2005 on the XDA Exec?

Hello,
I am considering getting myself a XDA Exec. At the moment I use a handheld with Windows Mobile 2002/2003 for Pocket PC, and it is packed full of software- utils, aps and games.
I am concerned that if I were to get a XDA Exec I will miss much of the lovely software. Or does the PPC software run under WM2005?
In fact does the XDA Exec run WM2005 for PPC or for Mobiles?
Sorry if I seem extremely ignorant ;o)
Cheers

WM2005 = Windows Mobile 2005.
WM2003se (the last Pocket PC version) was rename to WM2003, so it is also Windows Mobile.
WM2003 and older Pocket PC software should generally be compatible, you'll be unlucky if it doesn't run. But some sofware, particularly system software like Today plugins, often have problems. But the majority of software should be fine.

App for Remote Access from PC ?

Please help !
I remember that somebody described a software here which can be used to access the mobile device via pc. You get a window on your pc with your device's view and you can control your phone via pc the same way as you could do it directly on the mobile device.
But I simply can't find this software Does anybody remember the name or have a link for me !
TIA!!

My Mobiler @ http://www.mtux.com/

Pocket Controller pro for me.

MyMobiler (freeware)

Just played with MyMobiler and Pocket Controller pro. Both very cool apps. Is there a app that will allow you to do this without being connected to the computer, kind of like log me in, dont/cant install to cpu, so something that is web based (java)

VNC ?

yes, but i'm talkin about a server on the ppc that i can access on the mac. Tried all of them, only the PocketVNC works... But I can only find the trial that closes after a minute. On the site, can't find a link to buy it! Can't seem to find a working version (no time limit) too.

Have a look at R-HUB remote support servers for remotely accessing your Mobile device from PC and vice versa. It is easy to use and works on all platforms viz Windows, MAC, Android, iOS etc.
