As we've noted before, Google's Android isn’t related to Windows Mobile, but we cover it here because it’s one more indication of the trend toward Internet-centric touch devices. Plus this week we’ll note new mobile video sharing sites that even let you stream live video from your device.

Werner Ruotsalainen — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 05:06:36 -0500

I've just added the just-released Kinoma Play 1.0 and Spb Online 1.0 to the chart of Sneak peek: the Main Chart of my forthcoming Multimedia Audio Streaming Bible!

REVIEW & COMPARISON: Spb Online

Werner Ruotsalainen — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 11:42:29 -0500

The Spb folks have just released their online portal, Spb Online. Three other reviews have already been published (some hours ago) on it. Therefore, I've paid special attention to elaborating on issues not discussed in the other reviews, particularly when it comes to comparing Spb Online to the competing alternatives – after all, I've published several articles on several areas Spb Online implemented: radio and TV streaming, podcasting and multiplayer games.

A much more advanced RMVB player is out!

Werner Ruotsalainen — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 05:55:42 -0500

You may remember my previous article on playing back RMVB (RealMedia Variable Bitrate) videos on Windows Mobile. Back then, the only hack available was pretty much useless: it only ran on Marvell (ex-Intel) Xscale CPU's and delivered a really inferior performance (very low video speed, useless for watching anything).

SplashPhoto: a photo-sharing tidal wave

Tim Hillebrand — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 13:39:38 -0500

If you are looking for a super, finger-friendly photo organizer, and I really mean organizer, you will want to consider SplashPhoto. It works on a wide array of platforms including Palm, Windows Mobile, Symbian, and Blackberry, but not iPhone.

The Multiplatform Podcasting / Podcatching Bible

Werner Ruotsalainen — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:18:15 -0500

Listening to or watching podcasts is great fun. If you think they are boring, meaningless or can’t entertain you during, say, a long fight, you’re wrong. For example, watching all the clips of X-Play, played back on my VGA HP iPAQ 214 (thanks to Smartphone & PPCMag / iPhone Life’s Hal Goldstein for the gift!) could entertain me for long-long hours.

PREVIEW & CHART: The Multiplatform Podcasting / Podcatching Bible

Werner Ruotsalainen — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 18:28:31 -0500

It was a long time ago that Smartphone & Pocket PC Mag discussed Doppler on desktop. Neither are other articles (like Podcasts on a PDA...) up-to-date either, let alone covering all the current podcasting / podcatching solutions for all the three mobile operating systems I (currently – don’t forget I’ll also support iPhone when I get it!) support: that is, Windows Mobile, Blackberry and Symbian S60.
