"Since the last release of BlueMusic, back in February 2007, our developers worked hard on an update. It took a lot of time and creativity, but we have it ready, and you can download your copy right now!...We've pushed the development even further and now a new improved version is available: BlueMusic 3 codename "BlueAudio". 

The big news last week was Verizon’s release of the Samsung Omnia and the HTC Touch Pro. The Samsung Saga, announced in mid-November, should also now be available in stores. It’s great to see that the hottest new phones are now generally available in the U.S. This week in addition to noting Verizon’s release, I’ll point you to some reviews of these and other new devices.

Apparently the rumors about cell phone numbers being released to telemarketers is unfounded, and there is no deadline to register.

It seems Vito Technology never rests, and as a reviewer I have a difficult time keeping up with their updates and innovations. Not long ago I wrote a review of Winterface when it first appeared.

SoftMaker Office is an absolute favorite of mine so I wanted to give you a quick reminder that SoftMaker's Black Friday/Saturday/Sunday sale ends today. For the rest of this Sunday, you can still purchase all SoftMaker products with a 20% discount.

Continuing the coverage of my "lost article" from the last issue of Smartphone & PocketPC magazine we have my top pick for the category of "Classic Arcade" from the 2008 awards.  In this case I picked Earth Day, which was actually the first eSoft Interactive game I ever reviewed, even though I had been a fan of theirs for quite some time.  For the simple premise behind Earth Day, it was quite an addictive thrill ride.  Here's what I thought of it...

www.zielok.com recently released a new freeware game called FruitsDay.  If you haven't been to the site before, basically there are several PocketPC and Windows games available for free, and for a donation you can get the game Next Element Deluxe.  I recommend checking it out if you get the chance.

Proporta, a leading vendor of quality cases for Windows Mobile devices, is offering an exclusive 20% discount to all customers who place orders on Black Friday. Simply enter the promotion code BLACKFRIDAY at the cart page to receive your discount.

I was pleased to see that two new Celio REDFLY models were announced last week. Basically, the REDFLY is a small laptop that uses your phone as its brain. In addition to covering that, this week I want to pass along a how-to on syncing your device with the DVR recorder you use with your TV. And we’ll note an offer of free multiplayer games on Microsoft’s Windows Mobile TotalAccess web site.
