"The number of Web sites designed to display well on mobile device screens continues to expand rapidly, and content providers are rushing to catch this wave of the future. More than a few of these new sites focus on entertainment. In the October 2006 and February 2007 issue of the magazine, I highlighted some mobile entertainment sites. In this issue, I'll mention a few of those again and cover some others that I've recently discovered. I'll also touch on a range of other mobile resources, including some new portals."

In an article in the Apr/May 2007 issue of Smartphone & Pocket PC
magazine, authors discuss
how Microsoft have helped developers; as well as the MEDC show in Las Vegas next
month. They say in part: For quite some time, there have been certain restrictions imposed on the Windows Mobile application ecosystem by the nature of its developer platform. Developers were able to bring solutions to market quickly and easily with the power of .NET Compact Framework 2.0, but often that framework was not shipping in ROM on mass market devices. The same was true of the portable database for Windows Mobile powered devices, SQL Server Compact Edition, which also needed to be installed after the fact, taking up valuable storage space."

Push e-mail is hot. Your e-mail is automatically “pushed” to your Windows
Mobile phone device from the server as it arrives instead of your having to
“pull” it down. Further, such services typically synchronize your e-mail and
PIM data. So, for example, if you use your device to read and delete
messages and add some contacts, those changes also automatically appear on
your desktop computer. Push e-mail typically is offered in a corporate
environment and requires Microsoft Exchange Server.
For those not in a corporate environment, there are quite a number of commercial options, and now there are at least two free options. Emoze, the service we noted last August, lets you receive your e-mail and Outlook data anywhere, anytime. Consilient, according to an article on PDA Street, is a new free service aims to bring push e-mail to the masses. Consilient Push
lets you access up to five Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL, Gmail, POP3, or IMAP4
accounts. It runs over any GSM/GPRS network (such as T-Mobile and Cingular)
in the U.S. and some CDMA networks (such as Sprint and Verizon in the U.S.
and Aliant and Telus in Canada). |
