Revue from Smith Micro Software Incredible

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.

How are they going to do business that way?...maybe they'll fix it up after requests come in

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.

Can some one build an app for me? $$GOOD REWARD$$

Hello.
I have a week to present my homework, an app for WM5/WM6.
Description:
Two screens.
Screen one: a Calendar showing one month and arrows to move to other months. And a button to take you to screen two.
Scrren two: a list of whatever (let say, accesories for X7501 currently on stock) that feeds of a DB. And a button to go back to screen one.
So basically is creating a DB (item, stock) and a calendar.
I would need you to give me:
1. The code with commentaries (*/this is the button to change month*/ etc).
2. Your paypal account
Who can do it? For how much?
Thanks!

dude that is so cheating. why you gonna pick building an app for wm if you dont even know how to build one.

Hello.
1. The teacher was not supposed to ask that of us.
2. I know how to make an app, but not that one. I can make basic stuff, like coin toss, dice roll, among other stuff. I could learn to program that, but I do not have time, I sleep like 4 hours a day... learning to do that would mean 10 hours.... I don't have 10 hours.
3. I'm not going to live by making apps for WM.
4. Somebody could use some extra dollars. And some might even enjoy building that.
I don't think it's such a bad Idea.
Well.... once again, any one can help me with that simple app?
Regards.

Maybe you should've started this a lot longer before the deadline? I can't really poke holes given that I had to do a 3 minute composition (for my music GCSE) in one night...
1. The teacher was not supposed to ask that of us.

Then argue with them and point out they can't set work like that?

I would do it, but it goes against the principal of exams/qualifications, and I couldn't anyway...

l3v5y:
It was set on wednesday 16.
And I have until monday 28th...
There's no "lot longer before deadline". If there is, it is now, we have time.
I'm not going to argue the other 4 points.
------------------------
All:
I'm asking for help, and expecting replies about "I can help" or "here's this links that will help" or a Private Message with something along those lines.
I know you can reply with "that's wrong", but could you please not obstaculize?
And could you please not reply with "it's better for you to learn" because it's not and you do not particularly care about me learning to build a DB or a calendar.
And it's not like I'm a greedy student who offers $5 or $10 USD. It's a job and it's better paid.
Once again.... anyone that might be kind enough to help?
Regards.

I'm curious as to how much you're willing to pay. A low-level code monkey can probably get $20/hr. You're better off looking at how tene implemented PCM calendar (or similar).
huh? http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/obstaculize

Sorry, English is not my first language.... I meant something like "not-help", not as much as deter, restrain, discourage... just like being an obstacale...
I'll prefer to let the programmer set the price for the job done, not by the hour of course... and then we'll talk about it.
But probably it will be way more than $20 per hour of real efficient work.

Go download eMbedded Visual Basic from the MS Website:
Not that I want to discourage developers getting money, but the fact is, the two things you are discussing (Forms and calendar) are already available as code samples in eMbedded Visual Basic. Most, if not all developers know this...
So basically, if your teacher doesn't understand that making this project is as simple as writing your own name, than it won't matter whether you cheat or not. Besides, you will still have to make the program yourself, even with the two code samples.
The calendar is called DateTimePicker
And from memory, the page sample is just called Form

Hope This Helps
This is just a Test to show you what i have made..if this is the kinda stuff you want..send me the details for the About page
NOTE : This requires Internet Connection to be activated before Starting the application
See attached

Jadel:
Well now there's some help. It actually got me started with the calendar and the app itself.
You can watch progress here http://www.tech-medellin.com/TempUploads/advance.wmv
Ather90:
And that's even better. More like I was hoping for, unfortunately I lost hope with first replies and started myself.
Any way, perhaps you could help me with accesories. I've watched what you did and it's great, but not what I'm looking for... although I could add it...
The teacher asked for a database stored in the app (not updatable nor modificable by user). A list must be created based on the DB. I would fill it with data (I actually sell devices and accesories)
Can you help with that? For how much?
Thanks!

im sorry but i dnt know a thing abt Databases
I will give you the source code..its coded in VS 2008 Pro

You can get some info abt Db here http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/

Thanks a lot!
I have almost finished my app.
Actually two of them I had forgotten there was a second one.
(sorry for not replaying until today)

Happy to hear it's alsmost done
Sorry I dnt know anythng about programming PPC.

USD 985
I find it a bit expensive.

i agree, I think that's the most expensive application for the ppc I've ever seen.

with the money you are going to give you could negotiate a data plane with your carrier for much less...and i bet your employees would be much happier.
I can tell you by personal experience that denying employees some "Joy" at work can be hazardous to your company moral.

Well my advice is to precook rom (roms for the devices and do not include vertain packages for thw app that you do not want to use like games media player maybe internet explorer and some of the baseapps files ... it can be done

Cooking your own ROM isn't going to stop them installing anything else, SPB Kiosk may well lock the machine, haven't looked. And as the OP seems to only want to issue phones with email that may be the way forwards.
To the OP:
If it purely email/phone you want then i would recommend going down the Blackberry route. If you go that way and install a blackberry enterprise server in your office your users will get two way synch of email/contacts and you will be able to control every aspect of what they can do with their handhelds.

[REQ] / [QUE] Spotify for Windows Mobile

Hi guys!
Ive been hearing and reading stuff about spotify for mobile phones being developed.
Some sources say they only plan to launch apps for android, iphone and symbian's. Whle others include WinMo.
Would this be a possible software that can be created? If i could get this on my TP2 it would be incredible.
Any of guys have any info other than this?
www.spotify.com

AFAIK, they were advertising for a WM developer to work for them, but since about a month ago it disappeared and I've heard nothing since.
I would love this app, but I suspect that the best you can expect is either a "wi-fi only" version (like iplayer is, ie. not available over 3G/HSDPA) or a version that it is only available to premium members (such as what is rumoured to be being given the once over by Apple, £9.99 a month, so to not compete too much with iTunes on their devices)

Yeah
That wont matter though, im allready a premium member. The whole idea is genius and 9.99 is nothing anyways.
But id still like them on my phone. could just bring my TP2 when im atfriends and plug it into the amplifier.

nobody up for the challange?

i will try to create a .Net app for windows mobile that uses despotify/jotify as an example.
now i only need some spare time
any .Net developers out here who would like to help me?

hope you are wrong on that one, especially as some of us in the uk get 7.2mbps hsdpa & soon to be 14.4mbps. Hell 7.2mbps is faster than most bt broadband customers get.

I'd be happy to help if you're still working on this.

I have been working on a Windows Mobile Spotify client called mySpot.
The first alpha version is complete and I have uploaded it to the forum today.

Phone Locator Suggestions

I'm after suggestions for a decent STANDALONE mobile phone locator (I don't want it incorporated into an antivirus app). It must make use of maps to locate the position of the phone.

Well there's HTCsense.com. I don't know if it works with the gingerbread update or if you have to root your phone, to get access to it.
Or you could give Prey a try:
preyproject.com (I can't post links -_- )

I bought SeekDroid 2 days ago, just for the same reason. It is THE most lightweight app of its kind, and it cost me only .60 euros.

This looks quite good. Good reviews, features I'm wanting and cheap too. Thanks.

There's also something called Plan B:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb
Seems to work for people.

Ive been using wheresmydroid for past year. Only runs when you text the phone a special keyword. Can be used to find on silent too. Would recommend.

I second Plan B. You can install it remotely from your PC even after you've lost your phone. Provided data is turned on.
An ars article about it.
