Windows Mobile Louisville

If you are in town and available, stop on by Peak 10 Data Center for our monthly meeting!  We’ve got quite a bit in store for tonight:

Our agenda for July 22nd includes:

• Resco File Explorer 2008 - we’ll do a demo of all the cool & handy things you can do with Resco’s File Explorer, including the FTP and Registry Editor functions.  The latest version brings a finger-friendly interface, which is very cool.
• TekSoft’s FingerTouch Pro keyboard - one of the several on-screen keyboard options available out there.  We’ll demo this version and compare it to other options to see how they stack up!  We’ll have two copies of this to give away!
• We’ll also have a demo of some pretty cool “non-mobile device software” - WM Recorder and WM Capture by Applian.  While these applications are desktop apps, they are still something that can be used in conjuction with  a mobile device.  We’ll show you how at the meeting!
• And of course, there’s always open discussion and Q&A - a great opportunity to learn and share! 

The meetings are open to the public, are FREE and suitable for any skill level!  Whether you are an absolute novice or an experienced device user, there will be something worthwhile at these meetings!

Go to the Meetings page for details & directions. See you there!

FRESH UPDATE 7-21-08: Both the Sprint Touch and Mogul ROMs are now posted for real!

For those of you who might have been too cautious to download and install the “unofficial” ROM updates for the Sprint Touch or Mogul we mentioned a few weeks ago, HTC now has the official ROMs on their site. 

Key enhancements for the Touch:

1. Upgrades the operating system from Windows Mobile® 6.0 Professional  to Windows Mobile® 6.1 Professional
2. EV-DO Rev. A functionality for faster download and upload speeds when utilizing data services wherever EV-DO Rev. A coverage is available.
3. Advanced GPS functionality including the Sprint Navigation application.
4. Adds the Opera browser.
5. Adds a full Qwerty on-screen key Qwerty keyboard

Download the Sprint Touch ROM here.

Key enhancements for the Mogul:

1. Upgrades the operating system from Windows Mobile® 6.0 Professional  to Windows Mobile® 6.1 Professional
2. Adds Sprint TV
3. Includes all enhancements incorporated in previous software upgrades including: 
   • EV-DO Rev. A functionality for faster download and upload speeds when utilizing data services wherever EV-DO Rev. A coverage is available
   • Advanced GPS functionality including the Sprint Navigation application
   • Adds a Task Manager to the Today screen for easier access and management of running programs 

Download the Sprint Mogul ROM here.

Interesting, the Touch gets the Opera browser but the Mogul does not…  curious as to why they did that. 

If you’re a Sprint customer and you find yourself traveling abroad, there is now a Windows Mobile device in the offering which will work ’round the world.

The Samsung Ace is very similar to the Blackjack II offered by AT&T, and it operates on CDMA as well as GSM networks.

The Samsung Ace is available today in business sales channels and at sprint.com. It will be available at Sprint retail stores beginning in March.

It is selling for $200 with a two-year service agreement and $100 mail-in-rebate.
