I was searching for good software for a student, and I came across http://www.handmark.com/products/detail.php?id=75
but I don't want to pay $30 for it. Are there any other programs that do the same thing? Keep track of grades, assifnments, etc..
sure you can use your tasks list...... :wink:
have you had a look at this?

you get the idea right...
i have used prostudent and the dog ate it before, i like prostudent more although the dog ate it got the award from pocketpcmag
Thanks guys, I'll check it out
Those both are there for about $20, but are there any free alternatives?
ttt
I would also like to know if there are any free alternatives to apps like these for students.
Thanx

Schools starting again, anybody know of free alternatives?
thanx

I just purchased a MDA and I know that there are all these great softwares you can buy, to watch tv and convert your dvds and things like that. I have been trying to do reasearch on all the things I can do but I must admit most of the sites are written for someone with a hugh computer vocabulary and I am horrificly confused. Can someone in lamens terms tell me some of the neat stuff I could do for free or as cheap as possible? I will be forever grateful. I dont want to have ti a year and go oh man I could of been doing x y and z all this time!!! thanks
*h
Well, there are many, many things you can do with the MDA, obviously. lol That's why you got it, right? Maybe it would help if you told us specific things you would like to do with it. My first suggestion would be to pop on Newegg and buy a 1 gig mini sd card. . . they're goin' for 18.50 plus shipping.
I want to be able to watch dvds on it. I want to beable to use instant messenger and not take up text messages (as i didnt get that plan and it costs extra to use regurlar insant messenger)
I want to be able to email photos and check my gmail... anything fun really. I love the universal remote idea but its like 20 bucks! We have broken all our remotes at home so it would be very handy. I saw somewhere you can watch tv on it but I dont get how.
In the carputer world (mp3car.com) they have an app the searches for the cheapest gas prices using the internet. It would be really nice to have this app on my Tynt. Does anyone know of a wm verison os this software? If not, can someone create one? This tool would be super useful.
That is a stupid idea. It would have to be updated every 5 minutes. Have you got the time to be typing ingas prices for the whole world every 5 minutes?
The name of the app and a link to it would be appreciated
I guess creating a ppc client for the 'gas-price-database' is not a big problem. The question is, if the original authors would alllow such a port. I presume you must have a subcription to download the gasprice data?
A easier solution would be a webpage tough, since you need to go online anyway to get the latest data...
Here's a webpage that works.

There is also an Apple osx widget which provides this information... see here for the link. According to the website, they are pulling their data from "Gas Price Watch" a company which may allow for a PPC app to poll/pull the same data.
The data is out there (at least in the US) and accessible for free to Mac Users .. so no reason it should not be accessible for PPC users too.
So is it doable? With gas prices in the rise again, it would be nice to know where the cheapest gas is. Anyone down to code this one out?

i dont think you get the idea here. its more like the prices coming to you. its pretty much the same process as the weather plugin the SPB offers.
is anyone going to tackle this very useful idea?
someone did .. for the mobile phone crowd .. see this site
Admittedly, it's not an "app," but... Why not just open your phone's browser, go to GasBuddyToGo.com and enter your zip? Yeah, an app would be cool. But, at least GasBuddyToGo.com gives you a way to do it, until someone comes up with the app...
See ya!
lmao i dont pay for petrol but i guess someone would find this usefull.
this would be better as a constantly updated POI in tomtom or some sort of GPS thing, but cant see it happeneing in the near future
Hi!
I have just seen this amazing program.
http://www.smithmicro.com/default.tpl?group=product_full&sku=QLMCWXX
To see photo, video and play music.
Bad news, we have to pay if we want to see it.
I am searching but...no free?
Do you like??
I want it!! free, of course.
$30? LOL
I'll wait until someone on this site codes a clone for free.
Nice stuff though.... but not nice enough to shell out $30.
well, you should brake into a car or someone's house and steal their phones. maybe someone has it on their device....
...so stupid.

It is pretty stupid that they don't offer a free trial download to try it out. I'm definitely not going to pay $30 for something that I don't even know what it's like. No thank you.

Maybe its because they don't want people to rip off their product without paying for it.

i don't know about this "revue software" and the description of what it does is not very clear to me, but i have tested another tool that does the same thing (i suppose. i'm french so my english is not perfect) named trakax on a htc vox and it seemed fairly good for a slow device (200 cpu) and non-tactile.
it should be very cool on a decent pdaphone with good cpu.
go here : http://www.trakax.com/software/mobile/
it costs 30 again, but you have a free demo to test it.

I agree, it may be difficult, but when you see someone asking for a copy of a retail piece of software on here, insisting they have it for free, (as if that's a right), then find a near identical request on a warez site asking for the crack for the same software, its not difficult to see where that activity would lead to if we all took that stance.
WB
I don't have a problem paying for the apps that we use on our devices and i'm willing to pay a whole helluva' lot more but we should @ least have the trial option to see if it's worth it or even if its compatible with our devices. Most developers give you that trial because they stand by their product and they know it'll sell itself once the word gets out, so maybe them not giving a trial offer says something about their product. Just my opinion.
I've done trials of and loved:
Resco Exlorer
Memmaid
AEButton
Ultimate Launcher
Vito Screen Capture
Phone Weaver
...And paid for:
Resco
Memaid
AEButton
UL
Vito
Phone Weaver
It wouldn't even occur to me to use a cracked copy. Weird since I've used warez for some windows PC software, but being on a forum like this you see how the programmers are good people, just like me (only smarter) and it puts a face to the theft and I wouldn't consider doing it. Now I don't do cracked stuff for PC software either. I guess its part of growing up.
Anyway, I think there are a lot of ppl like me that if they like a trial they will be HAPPY to buy it.
I have just found this video!
Hi
I found a video of Revue.
It seems to be fantastic even with an application to manage the files with the PC!
http://my.smithmicro.com/wireless/revue/Revue324_121807_OffLn.wmv
I want to test this program for my HTC Touch, but I can´t download it from anywhere.
Anyone has this program?
Can you tell me if it is fast and useful?
Anyone knows where can I download Revue?
Thank YOU ALL
I just took a quick glance at the site you listed and looks like something I used to use on my Palm, I think you can use this for free, don't completely remember, but know I never paid for it. I remember now, you have to keep your pc online and you can access it for free, think that was the deal, and you had to pay to store your files online to access them while your pc was offline.
Anyway to the point its Avvenu, check it out.
Log Me In may be the same.
Caragato!!
Please NOT SPAM HERE!!!
So is this basically streaming media from your computer but with lots of organization options?
How is it not like Orb?
It is a finger friendly software just like iphone to see media on our pocketpc.
The android app, CompareAnywhere, will use your phone's camera to read a barcode on any item you may find in a store, then does a price comparison on other retail stores or online stores.
Is there any WM6.1 apps out there that does this too?
hmmm...
i was wondering the same thing after i saw the commercial, and did some research on the dream. that would be a cool app for my vogue. im going to do some more research to see if we can make it happen.
i have someting like that for the vouge
what exactly is it that u have? wat does it allow u to do?
do a search for iNigma reader
Never mind I attached it for you...
that app doesn't do anything but download other programs if they have a barcode.... unless I'm doing something wrong

This only scans 2D bar codes (sema codes). The bar code on products are all 1D.
Thanks anyway...
this would be a great app and i've been looking for something like it too. found one close, but you have to enter upc manually. google can already do that. good luck!
I might be interested in writing an application like this for Java micro edition. I thought about doing something like this for Android but was discouraged when I found that there was already someone doing it.
If I wrote this, I would develop it in such a way that it could be run on any J2ME compliant device.
Who'd be interested if it were offered free of cost?
Who'd be interested if it were not free?
bar codes
i think this is what you are looking for:

Right, but this is just another Android App similar to CompareAnywhere, which at this time we can't use as the camera functionality is not working yet
ap
i would be interested in this for touch. i dont know much about programming so i would not be able to help but you could develop this and beta test then prob make some money as donations for freeware or as shareware. good luck.

Not quite... scanlife appears to only support 2D codes (semacode, EZcode, etc), and it just simply takes you to the web site that this code contains (provided that it is indeed a web site).
What I'm looking for is a scanner for 1D barcodes, encoded in UPC-A (vertical lines with numbers at the bottom).
I want something that takes these UPC barcodes and have the program automatically search Amazon or other online retailers for price comparisons. So if I go to a local Best Buy and see a router on sale, I can simply scan the barcode at the back, and see if there's another online retailer that have it for cheaper.
So far, I only see Android with this capability (they have 2 apps that does this actually).
Thanks for keeping an eye out though.
1D Barcode Lookup
I have this running on my Touch Pro and it's been pretty accurate with the barcodes of the things on my desk (kleenex box, empty coffee can). I haven't tried it "in the field" yet.

TouchPro has 3.2 megapixel AF
Vogue has a 2.0MP (no info on AF, but I think it is fixed focus...)
I could not get barcodes recognized with barcorama, however I only tried with one UPC sticker and not under the best light conditions.
If anyone else gets it work, let us know
Hey xDarKnighTx,
Microsoft worked on that concept a while ago and stopped further development.
Just google "AURA" with the words barcode.
I don't know much more about it, although some discussions relating to AURA seem promising.
Cheers
I'm extremely interested free or not!

found this for my vogue.... hope it works for you guys
Could anyone point me in the direction of a good ebook resource, cheaper the better or preferably free, for the HD2 please? I recently bought a couple from the WH Smith ebook site. While I admit they were a very good read, they were also very expensive. I've tried Project Gothenburg, their books aren't to my taste I'm afraid, I'm not into classical literature. I just prefer a straight forward, preferably true, read i.e non-fiction, auto-biographies, true crime etc.
By the way, I use the MobiReader software, although I'm thinking of changing this as it's not perfect on the HD2. Or either I'm not using it correctly??
I would appreciate any pointers please on both points.
Thx.

Here's the mother of all free online libraries:

I also use ereader.com a lot, and have started to use the Barnes and Noble client that came on my US version. The cab file is around since it gets updated when you first start it, so if you want it let me know if your phone didn't have it.

Thx for the reply, appreciate it. As I stated in my thread, I'd already looked at the gutenberg website and their books weren't for me. I'm not really into classical literature. Thanks all the same tho.
I'm absolutely staggered at some of the prices we're expected to pay for an ebook, an ebook for gods sake! It's not even a real book with pages and a cover that sits nicely on your bookshelf!!!
I've just looked on several uk based websites and I'm astounded at the prices!
For instance, a cricketing hero of mine, his auto-biography in ebook format is over £17!! What??!! Ryan Giggs auto is £9+! I actually purchased this book (proper) around 18 months ago and I think I paid £6.99.
What's going on? Something is very, very wrong indeed!
