Hey guys whats going on? Im a newbie to the Smartphone world and have just purchased an SP3i as a secondary device, but I have been a Windows Mobile Pocket PC user for quite some time. I love how you can customize a PPC at so many different levels and was disappointed at the amount of applications and utilities available for Smartphones. Wondering if anyone out there can point me in the right direction towards some cool Smartphone applications that make this phone a joy to use. So far all I have done is change the Start Menu into grid-view, and added TCPMP, and WordPad.
All suggestions are greatly appreaciated.

Hi guys, I have an HTC touch (sprint) and got a job with a air balancing company and they have software that links their ppc's to their server for live data entry. however the application is only available for the palm os. Does anyone know if installing multiple OS's on a phone is even possible, like installing linux on an ipod? or if not, any way to convert a palm os application to WM6 combatible application. If needed, i have the install files for my application, any assistance would be greatly appreciated. If nothing exists i would even consider payment for the application to be convtered if anyone is intrested.
Thank you
Matt
you would probably have to build the application up again from the ground up if its a native palm application, although, if its written in a common language, i dont see why it couldnt be ported over
somebody more knowledgable should be able to help you better
and welcome to xda-devs
you can use styletap to run palmOS apps on windows mobile, if this is what you want to do.
Well, im 50% there, styletap works great, im able to load the software and run it, no glitches yet, however styletap doesnt seem to be allowing the application to sync with my server. any1 have any ideas? i even tried first establishing a data conn in WM6 using IE and hopped back to style tap to sync again. no luck
Hi everyone.
I've just been turned to the dark side from my years-long Nokia fetish, and have got myself a VERY tasty HTC Touch Diamond.
One of the deciding factors for me getting this phone is the fact that I'm a developer by trade, currently using C# & .Net 2.0, in Visual Studio. Obviously, this sets me up nicely for developing software for my new mobile.
I've already written one app, just out of necessity, which starts up GPS, starts QuickGPS, rotates the screen and then runs TomTom (it also closes everything it started and resets screen rotation when TomTom is closed.)
This was a nice introduction into programming for the windows mobile platform, but I have bigger ideas and would love to put them into practice.
I just wondered if there were some nice all-round help sites with reference for the compact .Net framework. I'm used to developing with the whole thing and have already found things that I couldn't do.
Besides, the compact framework (I assume) must have methods for doing things such as using the active-sync connection, parsing contacts, SMS messages, on-phone emails etc. which aren't relevant to a non-mobile platform.
So thanks in advance and, it goes without saying, if I make anything that's either useful or tasty, it'll be on here
Hello all,
I have been tasked to look into possible lock down of user interface for Android phones. Previously, we built custom mobile application for Windows Mobile and used SPB Kiosk Engine to perform lock down so that users can only run our application on windows mobile devices.
I would like to find out whether it is possible to perform similar lock down on Android Phones (limiting the functionalities) and start up with just our custom built android application. It would be best if there are existing lock down applications which can do this (similar to SPB Kiosk engine). If not, the only way would be to compile custom firmware ?
Hope anyone who has ideas of this topic can shed some light.
Thanks in advance!

Hello all,
did some research on the web and didn't manage to find anything regarding lock down on Android mobile phones. Any comments on whether this can be done at firmware level (e.g. compile custom Android firmware) ?
Thanks,
Zell

Hy and welcome to our forum,
what do you mean with lock down??? I cant follow you!
Greatz

Hello Mccoffein,
Lock down would mean to restrict the functionalities. E.g. we only want the Android mobile phone to run our program on start up and cannot access any other functions.
Other examples on PC will be windows based Internet Kiosks, which only allows users to surf Internet net, but does not expose other functionalities of Windows.
Cheers,
Zell

Pocket Informant
ThumbCal
Even if now, the Manila Calendar Tab isn't so bad...
Thank you both.
Gajet, any issues with PI and touchscreen "sans stylus"? Is it finger friendly?
ThumbCal looks good too! I'll do a trial of both when I get back to a computer.
Keep 'em coming if there are anymore.
Cheers.
MyLifeOrganized. I use the desktop version. Best GTD app I've found. There's a ppc version. They sync. MLO is extremely flexible. You can set as many contexts as you want. There's a google group for it as well.
The latest version Pocket Informant 9 has been given more gtd options
I did see this NextAction programme that integrates with Tasks on the phone:
$50 is pricy! Thanks for the link though.
The HD2 brings me back to WinMo after about 3 years as well and PI was one of the apps I was keen to try out. I loved it on my HX4700 and ran the latest trial version on my HD2 straight away.
Unfortunately, I found it really difficult to use with the capacitive touch screen and I uninstalled it after a day.

This is why I haven't bought the HD2. I still may, but I suspect there will be other programs which are hard to use on a capacitive display.
