MilkSync - Online Task list Manager - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Just realised there's not much info floating around here about the awesome Remember The Milk task syncing app - I consider it a "must have" app for all my devices.
http://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/milksync/windowsmobile/
Basically it syncs your device task list with their online website, allowing you to keep track of things you need to do from any PC anywhere. The actual website is smooth web 2.0 goodness. Its free for 15 days and they then require you to upgrade to the pro version for $15 with additional features, but the free version is just fine (and I guess you can keep registering new accounts once the trial expires).
The app can be set to sync over-the-air manually or when cradled - or every 5/10/x minutes, so you don't have to worry about hidden data usage, and can be configured for 1 or 2-way syncing. Also, it doesn't mess up anything when you use the regular WM6 ActiveSync. The only catch is no proxy support.

PS. I dont work for them or anything, I just think its a kickass system.

They also have a ff plugin to integrate RTM with GMail.
I use GMail IMAP, RTM(MilkSync, FF Plugin, http://code.google.com/p/rememberthemoof/), and OggSync(calendar+contacts).

I wish they could develop a nice slick Windows Mobile app to use with the RTM service, just like they've recently done with the iPhone app.

'Ghost tasks'

Yesterday, while trying to help someone with their pda, I unticked all my 3rd party today plug-ins, and went back to the 'ordinary' plug-ins supplied, ie, owner, date, calendar, tasks etc etc.
To my surprise, there were 2 overdue tasks showing. So, I went to the native tasks app, and couldn't see any. I played around with all the filters/views etc etc, and there were no overdue tasks! I decided to sync to desktop outlook, as usual, and have a look at the tasks there. Nope, this exactly mirrored what I have in my tasks application.
The numbers don't correlate either.
eg,
In my tasks folder I have 13 tasks, 4 high priority, 4 normal, 5 low. (none overdue).
the native tasks today plug-in shows:
12 Active tasks
4 high priority
2 overdue
The native tasks application shows 13 tasks, just as expected.
I think that the difference between the 12 and 13 is one task which technically is not 'active' yet, but what worries me is the 2 overdue which are goodness knows what.
Can anyone explain this, and does anyone know of a remedy (apart from hard reset)?
thanks
I don't want to seem dismissive but look what I got one day:

Someone here commented that I must work for the same company he does!
Apologies - I know it does not help you.

I think you should get started on the 144 high priority ones.
SK tools thinks I have no overdue tasks too!

Mozilla firefox for windows mobile...That little bit closer!

Today mozilla released an alpha version of the so called "fennec" Browser, the mobile version of firefox,
Although they have been releasing udates and actual releases for the Nokia n810 internet tablet, Today they released a version for......Desktop versions of windows, Mac os x and linux.
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/fennec/1.0a1/releasenotes/
Wow!, instructions on usage are on the page. Obviosuly mozilla decided this was the best way to show you what they are working on without buying one of those silly useless (but very good) Internet tablets...
Some screens....

cool, thanks for posting.
anyword on the windows mobile install?
there is a developer's blog with screen from it running on wm6. i wish he would make it available
Looks sweet. Can't wait to try it.
TELL me about it, i can't wait for it, trying it out on the pc. It seems awesome. Youtube doesn't work, but im not sure if an installation of flash works with it. (who needs it anyway huh? Youtube program from HTC works fine!) Plug-ins are also a feature with fennec, which will be awesome for people on here to get some good useful plugins made for us all!
Available for download here
Obviously, users with proper computers need the fennec-1.0a1.en-US.win32.zip version!

Android Market gets a web store with OTA installations, in-app purchases coming soon

Google's Android Market now has a web client. Finally! And guess what else, it's already live. Hit the source link below to get exploring. It's very simple, really, you can browse the entire Market catalog on your desktop or however else you're accessing the web, you can purchase anything that takes your fancy, and then -- via the magic of over-the-air transfers -- it downloads and installs onto your Android handset. A neat My Market Account section will let you nickname your registered devices to make them more recognizable as well.
Google has also just announced that Android will soon support in-app purchases. Widespread developer interest has been cited as the major reason for doing it, so you've got those lovable coders to thank for the oncoming wave of micropayments you'll have to deal with in your Android apps. The in-app purchasing SDK is releasing to devs today and will be "live to users prior to the end of this quarter."
Update: Invalid request. Yep, that's the message we keep getting when we try and download an app. Google promises that it should be working soon...
Update 2: And now it appears to be working!

Last week called, it wants it's announcement back.

[REQUEST] New Gmail for Streak like Honeycomb

This was originally a request to get the HC gmail apk working on Froyo. However...
Found that Google quietly updated the web gMail to show the iPad two pane version when using Dolphin. Pull to refresh, two pane, almost good enough to not need the HC version below I had gotten it to work before using the iPad's UA string, but it didn't work well. It appears that the code is now optimized for Android! Sweet (like frozen yogurt sweet)!

Looking for an apk. Surely it works with the 2.2 Froyo codebase (one can dream)?
[REQUEST] Honeycomb Gmail
Looks quite nice:
Kind of unrelated, but this post has a Mail'd app from the Adam (but I doubt that it works). Any guinea pigs want to try it out?

And of course there is the Galaxy Tab email client (which I have on #MyStreak, thank you DJ_Steve)

Edit: TabMail gave a "connection error" after a couple hours syncing Exchange (switching wifi ap maybe?) So back to stock Email.apk
Well... there was a system dump from the Xoom that would have been promising to play around with, but content was pulled due to DMCA... BOOOO!

But, on a more related note, here is an edited 2.3.2 Gmail app that has been edited to always "Show Pictures"

updated OP because Google released optimized code for "iPad" layout when connecting to gmail.com using Dolphin.

Windows 8 installed on my main machine

Without Touchscreen or anything. At least not yet.
What I did? After verifying I got an updated backup on my server, I just installed Windows 8 ON TOP of my main office PC. Where I edit pictures and videos, install everything for testing, work on word processors, spreadsheets and overall browsing.
Kies isn't working though. Not sure why. However drivers for the devices are being downloaded easily. I just rooted and used ODIN 1.85 to flash CVM on my Galaxy Tab 7.7 and I can attest it worked.
First impressions? Nothing's changed much. All the hype and hysteria about the interface is just that, hysteria. You may miss the start menu at first, but after you pin a couple of apps, you're good. On the second screen, showing the desktop 100% of the time (there's no way around this, to show the Metro UI in both screens), you have a list of all pinned apps, the same ones I had on my Win7. All my settings were preserved btw, no loss. Steam seems to be working, Photoshop, except for Kies, everything worked well so far.
I expect some problems, but I plan to launch a VM to run older, crappy apps I may need.
I spend my days working on my main screen and my portrait 19" is just showing Metro goodness. Or not, sometimes both show desktop and frankly, I don't care one way or the other. If I want the metro apps, it's easy enough to show and hide, so I'm not complaining.
Here's one picture:
