Windows Mobile Louisville

Slacker is finally coming to Windows phones - sort of.  There is a CAB file available for download at XDA-Developers (scan the Microsoft Tag below to get the CAB file directly to your device), and yesterday, people were elated to have Slacker working on their Windows phones.  By evening, people were seeing an “Oops” error screen (including me), and the app won’t play at all.

Hopefully this will be resolved soon - heck, Slacker hasn’t even acknowledged that the app (which is supposed to be the real McCoy from Slacker) is available on their site! They might be waiting for next week to officially announce it at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, particularly since it’s anticipated to be a HUGE event for Windows phone announcements!

Scan the Microsoft Tag to automatically download the CAB file.  Hopefully it will be working soon!

Resco has been quite active with updates to several of their applications, and version 2.0 of Resco Radio is the most recent.

Speaking for myself, I find that I listen to streaming music a lot on my device, particularly when I am at work or in my car.  There are certainly many options for listening to streaming radio out there, and I use several of those options, depending on my needs.  How does Resco Radio 2.0 shape up? Read on and I’ll tell you!  I’ve even put together a quick-and-dirty video as well.  More after the break… (more…)

Wunder Radio became available to users of Windows Mobile phones just last week. The service provides access to nearly 36,000 radio stations delivered by Radio Time. With this app, you can access over 400 different genres including music, talk, sports, entertainment, and more. In addition to providing streaming radio services, the application can also help you tune into local stations with ease. By using your phone’s GPS capabilities, Wunder Radio can generate a list of all the local stations in your area, which you could then save for later access.

The Windows Mobile application features a today screen plugin which lets you view “now playing” program and song information and lets you select from your favorite presets all from your phone’s main screen with no need to open the app itself.

The only drawback (for some) regarding the Wunder Radio app may be its price. After the currently running 30-day promotion ends, the app will be sold for $14.99 (it’s $10 now). So although mobile apps like Pandora can’t compete when it comes to sheer quantity of stations available (that’s also not quite what they do), the price for Pandora (free) may make it still seem like a winner.
