is an application that warns you for fixed and mobile traffic control spots and radars. It's already used widely in France and Spain. The good thing is that it is cross platform. However, I didn't find any cab for windows mobile yet. I would certainly like to try if it works, before spending e25 on it. Strange thing by the way is, that for Android it costs e10 in the android store.
wikango.com
Currently it looks like Wikango can't be downloaded. If you select the mobile list and select a phone, you will get redirected to the "buy" page instead while it can't be bought at this time. Funny thing.
you're right. They claim though to have thousands of users already!
Since you need a critical mass of users to have accurate information on radar locations, I'm very charmed by the idea of a cross platform solution like this, especially because of the ever increasing amount of smart phones.
Btw, a friend of mine bought it in the android store for e10, and it works great, I've seen it on his HTC Hero. Strangely it's free for iphone in the appstore.
Trapster
Why not try Trapster. It should work on WM
Thanks, that looks like a great tip! I'll be checking that out, see how good it is in my region.
Wikango on Android is a bit of a rip off, as they charge about 10€ for it when the iPhone version is free.
Since they released the first version, there has been no update.
Wikango runs fine on HTC G1 or Hero, but does not work on Droid and Nexus One, although there is no such info on Wikango's web site.
Finally, the devs are not answering to emails.
I have used it a lot on my G1 and, price set appart, I have been quite pleased even if, as I mentionned, there has been no updates and bugs are left uncorrected.
Since I switched to the NExus One, I'm simply unable to use it anymore :-(
Waze
Waze is well worth taking a look at too.
Great! I'll check out Waze too!
I've tried Trapster for some time, and it's not stable enough at the moment on my Topaz. When a phonecall or any other program pops at the front, the Trapster application loses its Google Maps connection, causing you to drive in a blue screen instead of on a map. It's not mature yet on WM and the devs don't respond to my message.
Trapster
Yes, I tried Trapster on my Topaz but found I could not get any display most of the time. Waze seems much better, and copes with occasional loss of data connection (important when your route home is through the countryside!)
Yeah, Waze is stable on my device. And it's fun paving roads!!

It is the memory requirements for this application that has forced the company to discontinue any new versions/updates and provide the last one for free without any support.
They stated "at this point in time WM devices can't handle the next level we want to take our software. So instead of producing an application that does not meet our standards we have decided to pull it from the market"
Perhaps more of an excuse for the software developers not being able to work within the constraints of current PDA limits- who knows.
Right you are... eats up about 6mb of memory. But still I enjoy showing it off to my buddies. I'm not sure if this can be installed and run from a storage card. Will do tomorrow.
Hey, if you want your PDA to look like Windows, use Windows

Have you tried to create a webpage from the screen of the PDA??
I would actually make use of your TSC program had I a suitable device- unfortunately still stuck with JAM- no point of term. services via bluetooth!
Wouldn't mind having one of those up and coming mini-tablet style devices that are due to run the full blown version of XP though.
I'd like to have an OQO or something Unfortunately even the Universal's screen becomes too much work on the eyes after a while. Such a dilema: want a big (VGA) screen, want a small phone. Not gonna happen.
I don't think I'd like an OQO day to day, but nice in bed. But yes, VJFullscreenTSC could be used to write webpages from the Uni.
As I understand it, Experience is a flash app isn't it?

I find the current security on the device as being quite limited, and boring.
I was looking for:
1. A screensaver while docked that displays critical information such as a clock, appointments, date, appointments etc, and perhaps a user definable background, slideshow or similar. This is particularly handy while plugged in and sitting on the desktop.
2. Security module for while out and about, and maybe while on the desk, that will require password entry, but will display date, time, appointments, missed calls, unread messages etc on the screen until entered.
3. I was also reading about the remote kill on the pda, for wiping memory and sd card data when receiving an SMS and similar.
So, before I committed to some dodgy pathetic software that says a lot, delivers bugger all, and chews memory and resources, and becomes more fiddly than it is worth, I thought I would ask the gurus opinons on what they use and potentially what they dont use from experience.
A couple I was looking at installing are pocket secure v3, Dockware, and PDAKill.
Comments, feedback, suggestions?
I used to use 1-pass. It's quite nice.

this looks like a good little program haven't tried it yet but did you get it to work on your uni as it sayson the site its not WM5 compatible.
By the way congrats on the little one
scott
Cheers Scott. Like I said, I used to use it, but stopped because it would screw with AE Button Plus, and I'd rather use that then a fancy smancy screensaver
I've never tried it on WM5, so can't comment, although from memory I don't see why it wouldn't work, almost nothing was WM2003 specific. But, they should know.
I found that it was quite hackable as well, to force it to match my colour schemes, but in the end, as I said, it was no great loss, although pretty.
V
I contacted them and they indicated it wasnt MW5 compatible.
The other one I was waiting for SPB Time, but this also is not WM5 compatible.
Any other suggestions or comments from anybody?
bump....
any more comments, surely others are using screensavers, and or security settings?
or ... are you all just leaving your phones and all confidential information available to theft?
Anybody else using these apps or other alternatives: pocket secure v3, Dockware, and PDAKill
hi all
Recently got an M700 and am loving it. Since discovering this place I've been amazed at what customisations you can do, and with flashing to WM6 using AX3L's fantastic ROM, getting TomTom6 working, and a few choice other apps to allow FTP etc., i've now got a device that does pretty much everything I could ask of it anywhere! (Probably matter of time till I brick it though...).
What I am missing though, is a decent VNC client (although I've used the RDP client semi-successfully).
I've searched for 'VNC' but no joy - surely that can't be the case when there's so much other stuff available? or is the search function not liking the term...?
thanks for a great forum & resource
Did you see the posts re zoomVNC on PocketPC Thoughts? Looks nice!

i have now
thanks - looks excellent
i guess there's others out there i couldn't search for too!
For me the best is PTPocketOffice.
It was recommended by Menneisyys:
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1572&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
It consumes a lot less data than the others VNC.
It's fast.
It has fullscreen.
It can be used one handed.
The server side can resample the pictures to make it smaller (less data and better image than if it was done by client side).
The only minor thing I'd like to see improved is their proprietary softkeyboard. why not using the system keyboard? I don't want to use a new keyboard with each of my apps...
that's a great article
i hadn't thought to even try logmein until reading it there, i'd assumed that with their remote screens always being slightly fuzzy and smaller it mightn't be great - wow, was i wrong!
just tried logging onto a client's SBS server and the screen scaling and rotation together make it nearly as useable as a standard desktop! the screen scrolling at the side of the screen is a great interface! there'll be occasions where i need VNC, but for know i think I've got a favoured solution
Hi there. I saw in this forum many good programmers. Can any of you make a RSS program with embeded photos like newspanel???
RSS Hub is my choice of reader, and will probably always be. Even supports podcasts, and auto updates.
The New Viigo beta, for SURE! Has TONS of features, at least give it a look:
http://viigo.com/beta
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398571
I like BeyondPod. It works well for me.
pRSSReader. does its job simply and perfect
I know there are a ton of free ones but I've always gone bake to SPB Insight because it actually downloads the whole article and not just a link. Does anyone know of a free one which also has this feature? Basically in the morning before I set off to work I connect to my wireless network and update all my channels, there is no 3G available in my area, nor where I work, no wifi at work either, which is why I like to have whole pages downloaded. I have HTC RSS hub built into my rom but it only gives me brief headlines wanting to connect to the internet to view the whole article. Seems like a waste of time to me.

pRSSreader does that too AFAIK
Try Egress.

I really like the Egress 4.0.0 interface however it has horrible memory leaks (Once I uninstalled Egress the memory leaks stopped). I have yet to try 3.3.0.
I really like pRSSreader which you can find at the below URL. The new 1.4.x release really improved the UI. However, there are a few small bugs that the author David Andrš is really working hard to fix.
http://code.google.com/p/prssr/
all this programms are good but not any can show pictures in today screen like new spanel.
For anyone interested in different satnav options, I can confirm the new Route 66 mobile 8 works really well on the X1. Works great with the wvga res and the UK maps are Q3 2008 which is (I think) more up to date than Tomtom or Copilot 7.
is navigation smoother than tomtom's or iGO's navigation?
Find it pretty smooth. Ive only been using it a few days so havent much experience with routing yet but seems ok. It zooms in when approaching junctions as I believe tomtom does and no gps lag at all that I can detect. I havent tried igo 8. I fancied the 3D mapping but I think I read somewhere it doesnt support full uk postcodes. maybe someone can correct me if thats wrong.
Cool,
I'm thinking of buying it .. But don't now for shure..
I'm using igo8 at the moment, but i miss the speedcam and the traffic info!
Only thing that igo does have is a much better interface, wich is very usefull when driving..
For the dutchies:
Today you can buy it for 40 euro (EU version)
http://www.onedayonly.nl/bestel
Over time I have used them all.
I've been using iGo8 for some time now. In my opinion the best out there....hands down.3D rendering is excellent.
I recently used it in pedestrian mode to see the sites around Paris...fantastic and accurate.
Plenty of skins to choose from. Dimka Tomsoft is perfect for the Xperia. http://www.tomsoftware.net/default.aspx?pg=bfe66309-2007-4a7b-871d-4dee68e631c1
Speedcam data can be easily obtained and free traffic info comes via the built in RDS radio courtesy of beemer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512630

We have been using TomTom for years, but changed to Route 66 based on the fact that TomTom does not anymore supports only the software. Route 66 does a good job..
Has anyone experiences with the navigon mobile software?
wauw, that are some nice screenshots, how did you get that theme?
And, it's nice to hear that tmc works with that workaround, gonna try it tomorrow!
