A LOT of great features are in P4350, required from customers: this is AKU. We have 2.3-2.6 and P4350 has 3.2 and the difference is like having XP service pack 1 or 2: try to restore winsock with service pack 1!
______________________________________________________________
from Wikipedia:
An Adaptation Kit Update (AKU) is a collection of updates, fixes and enhancements to the tools delivered to hardware device manufacturers to create or update devices based on a specific platform.
This term is used by Microsoft to designate the current update version for a particular embedded platform such as Windows Mobile which is used for Personal digital assistants and Smartphone devices. On the Windows Mobile platform the AKU is to Windows Mobile what a Service Pack is to Microsoft Windows.
Microsoft releases AKUs to allow device manufacturers with updates to create new products or fix issues with older products. These enhancements are usually not available to the consumer or end user unless released as a firmware update from the vendor.
_______________________________________________________________
That's will be the great crossbow power: WINDOWS UPDATE power.
Today from Phone manufatures point of view they have the AKU release from MS but they have money to earn with new devices and they don't really support old devices (eve 3-4 monts old!). Without real market competition the truth is: we paid the price of a laptop and we have a service of a radio player!
If you bought an ACER laptop 6 months ago and you still have No windows updates (and may be you never will have) this will be your last ACER! Today we are in the same condition
Sliding sound, contact via SMS, contacts and calls history search from home screen, a long list of feature unsupported in AKU 2 and released in 3 series...
I'm still hoping in some change of strategy from HTC, expecially for high-end phones, like our HERMES... but we have to make a loud noise to be heared!

I dont think this will work, from what HTC said about that keyboard it would seem that there is more interface between it and the o/s in the herald. the herald knows when its open and closed and is able to power the phone on. I believe there is a harware difference here.

the handset knows the keyboard is open as it flicks the screen round!

Nope. It's an hardware thing: there's a small magnet that makes the screen rotate.
It was actually the first thing I tried to emulate via software, when I got my TyTn back in September: it does work up to a point. Thing is that the sound only plays when the screen is FULLY rotated (as apposed when STARTING rotation), so it means that the keyboard is already open. It kinda defies the whole meaning, doesn'it? I plan to try it via some more low-level hacking in the near future, but I can make no promises: it's probably not possible.

MoDaCo - Automatic Application Update Check (AppToDate?)

Paul over at MoDaCo is starting to get some interest in a new application he's developing - basically it involves developers providing some XML with their installer that ties in with some similar XML on the applications' download page on their web server.
When a new version is released, the XML on the download page is updated, "AppToDate" will check the download server and you'll be able to see that a new version is available.......
AstraWare, Developer One and SK-Tools have already expressed an interest in making their software work with "AppToDate".......what are you waiting for!?!?!
I'll stop babbling, this is what Paul posted over at MoDaCo "AppToDate"
I have a dream! OK, so it's not quite as ground breaking as some other dreams of our time, but it's a dream none the less. It goes something like this...
I have a whole bunch of software on my device. Probably 15 apps at least. I also write software, which is downloaded by a fair few people, both commercial and free. I like to ensure that my software on my device is up to date with the latest versions, and it's a right pain in the ****. Not only that, I'd like my end users to have the latest versions installed to get the best possible experience... and to facilitate that I have to write a custom update checker into each of my applications. Fine for big apps, not great for quickly rustled up apps or tweaks.
But there could be another way.

What if you could have an application that lived on the device, that wasn't tied to any one application or vendor, that could check for updates for everything installed on your device? IMHO, that would be awesome. A dream. For such an approach to work, you'd need a few things...
Someone to write the update application, and to develop it. A community project perhaps?
The update application MUST be FREE for end users and developers
The update application MUST be easy for developers to plug in to
The application needs to be used by end users!
Freeware developers need to use the application!
Commercial developers need to use the application!
Now here comes the audience participation part - if you are a user, would you like to see such an application? If you are a developer - either freeware or commercial - would you like - and would you use - such an application? Make your voice heard here, and if there's an appetite for this, let's make it happen! I'll be updating this topic to list developers who would like to be involved.
Oh, I forgot to mention... I've basically written the update application! It's simple, has plenty of scope for future development, can update itself (of course) and in order to be used by a 3rd party, just needs an XML file dropped into the updater directory from your install CAB, and a current version XML on your server!
Beautiful! The response to this topic will determine how much time I spend on getting it production ready

Lend your support to this - with all the updates for various applications flying around, it's an almost impossible task to know if you're running the latest and greatest version - hopefully it will grow into a REALLY useful tool.
Thanks for listening

[APP] Star Trek Phaser

Heya,
This is my first WM app, and the first time I've ever had to motivation to finish an application programming project! (I'm more the webby type usually). I hope I've posted this in the right place - I did have a good look around first!
The motivation behind it was that an official Phaser application came out for the iPhone, but it's more of a gamey type app. I wanted a 'phaser' application for my phone (XDA Ignito/HTC Touch Diamond) and there didn't seem to be one out there - so I figured it was time to have a go!
This is based on the Type2 hand phaser from Star Trek: The Next Generation and words on both my phone (WM6.1) and my old iPAQ 2790 (WM5). It seems to require the .NET Compact Framework 3.5 to run.
--
Known bug: the deployment CAB forces the device to install the application in the internal memory rather than the expansion card - otherwise the sounds don't work. I'm working on getting that sorted along with some additional features for version 2.
--
Your comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated by this humble n00b.

Nice idea, but two bugs atm:
* Doesn't play any sound (path is hardcoded?)
* switching from on -> off -> on the phaser lavel isn't saved
Wishes:
* +/- buttons needs some kind of repeat.
* some nicer gfx
* Output level should be redesigned
* fullscreen

No sound on my device (Blackstone) also being the app installed on main memory. Maybe you have harcoded the %ProgramFiles% path as well? Since I have a localized rom (\Programmi)

Works great on my Tilt. Sound is good, On/off switch does power it down, but no big deal, one would want any fatal accidents caused by accidently turning it on in disruptive mode.
Very nice useless app. Now that's all that you need is WM useless app store, like iPhone and you will be rich.

Nice one.
If you need a layout more "Federantionish" let me know.
---edit---
Found this on google, hope it helps:

Thanks for looking all
Sound bug: I tried putting in relative paths and even just everything in the same folder - but that didn't work at all on either of my devices. Not sure what I'm doing wrong there. I knew that hard-coding wasn't a good way to go, but I'm hoping to work out how to rectify it as I work on the other couple of app ideas I've got, plus version 2 of this.
The line which plays the sound currently looks like:
PlaySound(("/Program Files/ST Apps/sounds/Stunsnd.wav"), IntPtr.Zero, SND_FILENAME Or SND_SYNC)
When I just put everything in one folder, it looked more like:
PlaySound(("Stunsnd.wav"), IntPtr.Zero, SND_FILENAME Or SND_SYNC)
This would definately account for your problem bbonzz. I didn't think about localised ROMs - but of course! Will make sure to remember that. Definately won't be hard-coding paths from now on - I've learned my lesson
Power level drops when switched off 'bug': That was actually deliberate! Personally, I felt that it should reset when you switch it off and on again. However, I may be in the minority here, so I'll take that line out if people would prefer it to save the state.
Small additional thing I put in to help get from 'on' to max' in a hurry is - if you use the up and down buttons on your device, it'll 'jump' to the beginning/end of each level (stun, thermal, disrupt, explode/disrupt), meaning you can get to get to max power in 5 presses rather than 15
I might bind the left and right buttons to be straight to 1 and straight to 16 in version 2 for the same reason. It's nice to be able to get from one end to the other quickly.

Also - re: wishlists and suggestions - all noted and will be taken on board for the next version. Thanks

My Htc Touch HD is out for repairs!
So I can't test this,
Now I've got a question,,
When you log in on your phone, does your home computer disconnect?
or can it be logged in at several place at the same time
(As the windows-pc version)
Great Greet Giblet

Downloading and going to put into a test rom now.

Looks nice! I'll try it right now

Downloading and testing
thanks for share

Nice!
Looks nice indeed! Really usefull... going to use it for my ROM! Thanks for the tip!

Still don't know why they didn't give you an option to use your camera as webcam within the mobile msn version ...
Will it ever be available ? Or are there other options to achieve this ?

so does Messenger support MPOP yet?

This is very good. Note that you have to reset device after installing but it doesn't tell you to. Error messages on launch otherwise - "this is not a valid app"

Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed... blabla message (HyperDragon IV newest kaiser rom xD)

Will try thanks for informing us. This does look better.

No pb with this rom but in english only

Even if i select an other lang and clik "change", it download the 0409 file !

Lets see if the big Achilles' Heel is still there.
Pleeeeeeease tell me limit to 50 most recent messages has been fixed? if not totally kills its utility, what a shame. Hope they finally fixed this. Don’t even get me started on how great touch flo 3d grouping emails by contact is, except it can’t read other folders but inbox. No worries I'll just move everything to inbox. Dooh!.., only 50 to sort among all my contacts. What about wm6 great type & sort feature in pocket outlook inbox?, also rendered useless. Local search only, …yep still stuck at 50 most recent. So do the math, I have 50 messages to split between my whole phonebook, the majority of emails won’t even show up in tf3d for most of the contacts. Option,.. delete all contacts except 50 and pray no one sends me more than one email, silly right?
Why should a hotmail user not switch to any of the compets, if you can’t even get access to all you mail without the major inconvenience of launching a web browser? So now, just to work with mail I have to work in 2 apps? Hotmail Pop3 route is no better, zero folder sync with online, even at ground level no sent, or deleted items sync. Might as well be a seperate email account.
Really... POOM guys, whoever came up with that one, do yourselves a favor, send 'em to google or apple.
I really... hope after making such a big stink, I get to be all embarrassed and wrong.

how do you see facebook statuses?
