One thing to realize is that this is an app being done and promoted by MSN India and so the list of phones they've tested probably fits the Indian market more than the US market.

Sharky: if you find you need to access drives like this on a semi-regular basis, try this one instead:

www.startech.com/.../USB2SATAIDE-USB-20-to-IDE-or-SATA-Adapter-Cable.aspx

It's not meant for day-to-day use as the SATA connection is slow over USB, but it works. If you want something with faster access over USB, but can do without IDE, I'd recommend Vantec's NexStar Hard Drive Dock. They also have a similar adapter to StarTech, but it's not as good, and more money.

Thanks guys. I need it to recover data from my laptop drive. For some reason, the backups stopped after June.

BTW sharky:

If it's a temporary fix, or for a custom SFF PC, then ya, that's a good idea. It also brings your power requirements down tremendously. A desktop drive will always be cheaper/GB, and usually has much faster seek times, and sometimes more buffer space too though.

@Sharkey - I have used that very item many times to recover data off laptop hard drives when the lappy is messed up bad enough to re-image or if there are other hardware failures. Works great!

It seems that this app is targetted to the home users, now that smartphones are being pushed out to consumers.

Telus' latest ad campaign even features the theme of "smartphones for everyone".

Thanks Wae. Nickel, it might still be supported. That list is just those phones which they know for sure are supported.

OT:

Has anybody noticed that Microsoft's newer UI conventions seem to favour more text-based interfaces as evidenced by the new Windows Live software, and the Windows Vista/7 Start Menu, instead of the icon-driven stuff of old?

I know one thing about this tactic - it makes people actually read before blindly clicking.

It takes a lot of innovation (there's that word again, losta) to get someone to use a text-labelled interface and actually enjoy it, so Microsoft has a pretty steep mountain to get over. All the power to 'em. I know several people who's kids had learned to read on the old Sierra AGI adventure games before they turned to a "click-n-grope" interface. Maybe people will just be a little smarter when using a computer.

With the rise of cloud computing it has become clear that syncing is definitely one of the next killer apps. Calendar and contact syncing between the phone and the computer is a key feature for me, I couldn't live (well, work) without it.

I checked the list Mike kindly linked here. My crap-phone is not supported. lol

But I'm planning to get an HTC soon for my business.
