Just tried it:
Great in rendering (just like Opera) so it beats Internet Explorer by miles, but scrolling is very slow (still faster then IE) but you have to wait a sec to see the content. The program also starts within a second, opera boots in 10 seconds...
So if they fix the scroll slowness, it's a great browser. Till then I use Opera (firefox is also on it's way to make a Browser)
Starting with version 1.0.10 the browser started to be really stable and fast. It still has some issues with some large pages, but as dubbeld00 said it loads and renders fast. I use it all the time on my Touch Dual now, and is very satisfied and impressed. Looking forward to upcomming releases.

Outlook Notes Mobile - Sync your Notes with Exchange

As far as I know, there is no free utility that syncs your Notes to your Exchange mail server directly. You have to cradle with your PC and then your PC syncs with Exchange. Or if you are a Smartphone user, you don't have a Notes application at all.
So I wrote an application to sync Notes using the Exchange Web Service.
Enjoy:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2008/08/day-3-outlook-notes-mobile.html
I've only tested it across a couple different Exchange servers, and people's deployments vary quite differently, so I have no gaurantee that it will work for you! Lots of companies block access to the Exchange Web Service. Good luck!
Nice idea...
Does this sync exsisting notes or only the ones created with your application?
Existing notes (if they are on the Exchange server) will work as well.
Works nicely - few suggestions
1) support for hand drawn notes
2) Support for note sub folders in exchange
3) Auto sync on open/close of app?
4) GUI - would it be possible to replicate a notepad, much like the iPhone (See below)
5) Ability to delete notes from the WM device
Achieve these things and I guarantee everyone will replace windows mobile notes with your app - which in supporting exchange itself is already better than what is installed by default.
Hello,
does Outlook Notes Mobile work with Exchanger Server 2003? I keep getting WebException error....

Adam users/devs does that look familiar?
Updated set of standard apps
The Android 3.1 platform includes an updated set of standard applications that are optimized for use on larger screen devices. The sections below highlight some of the new features.
Figure 3. Quick Controls menu in the Browser.
Browser
The Browser app includes a variety of new features and UI improvements that make viewing web content simpler, faster, and more convenient.
The Quick Controls UI, accessible from Browser Settings, is extended and redesigned. Users can now use the controls to view thumbnails of open tabs and close the active tab, as well as access the overflow menu for instant access to Settings and other controls.
To ensure a consistent viewing experience, the Browser extends it's support for popular web standards such as CSS 3D, animations, and CSS fixed positioning to all sites, mobile or desktop. It also adds support for embedded playback of HTML5 video content. To make it easier to manage favorite content, users can now save a web page locally for offline viewing, including all styling and images. For convenience when visiting Google sites, an improved auto-login UI lets users sign in quickly and manage access when multiple users are sharing a device.
For best performance, the Browser adds support for plugins that use hardware accelerated rendering. Page zoom performance is also dramatically improved, making it faster to navigate and view web pages.

Monetize your mobile apps with Pollfish surveys SDK - New showcase apps on app stores

Hello everyone,
Pollfish is a mobile monetization SDK that pays up to 20x more than classic mobile ad networks. It distributes surveys through mobile apps and pays app publishers per completed survey. Users complete surveys in order to get into draws for several prizes and also out of curiosity.
Monetization without ads but with surveys is a quite new method for publishers to make money out of their apps and it is becoming quite popular among users who find surveys an interactive format that is quite different than classic ads.
Integration of the SDK requires one line of code and can be integrated within minutes.
You can find iOS integration guide here, Android here and Sample Projects on github here.
Pollfish provides SDKs for both Android & iOS (Objective-C & Swift) along with several plugins for other platforms and engines like Unity, Corona, Cordova, B4A, Phonegap etc. Distribution of the SDK is also available through jcenter() & CocoaPods which makes integration even easier.
After several requests from our app partners we have recently released a new app on AppStore where you can see:
- the different integration options for Pollfish surveys (Standard and Incentivized one)
- the different survey formats available (Basic and Playful).
This way you can easily see the experience that your users will have, based on the approach you follow.
