NuevaSync: OTA iPhone/Google Sync

I wasted a silly amount of time today trying to get Windows Live Contacts/Calendar to sync with MobileMe (and the iPhone) via Outlook and the new Outlook Connector 12.1 beta. (Long story short: While you can, in fact, make your Windows Live data store the default in Outlook via Account Settings, Apple...

Windows Mobile update

So I wrote a little news story today noting that Microsoft missed its target of selling 20 million Windows Mobile licenses in its fiscal year 2008, which ended June 30. Here’s the company’s take on this news: We are excited to announce that Windows Mobile had yet another year of high growth, closing...

Microsoft tries to throw some cold water on iPhone

Computerworld has some interesting information about Windows Mobile vs. Apple's iPhone: Companies -- lots of them -- are still buying Windows Mobile smart phones, and Microsoft doesn't want to let iPhone mania make them forget. During Microsoft's most recent fiscal year, 325 enterprises purchased...

Windows Mobile Apps

Microsoft EMEA tries to prove that Windows Mobile doesn't come up short against the iPhone and the iPhone Application Store but really just ends up proving that Microsoft can't do anything on the Web these days without first promoting Silverlight. Sorry, but the Windows Mobile Apps site just...

Gary Krakow is off his rocker, blames MSFT for iPhone battery woes

Nice to see someone else going after the mainstream media for unfairly blaming Microsoft for something, in this case—get this—the iPhone 3G's poor battery life. Head's up, guys. Push kills battery life, no matter where the service comes from. Gary Krakow has gone insane . I was going to...

Windows SideShow for Windows Mobile Developer Preview, and an idea for actually using SideShow

This this is interesting. Since fairly early in the Windows Vista beta, Microsoft has been touting a Vista feature called Windows SideShow, but the required hardware has never really appeared in any mass market product, though the odd laptop with an external SideShow display or Sideshow-based remote...

In an article about Microsoft's smart phone hopes and dreams, some interesting numbers are revealed: Around 118 million smartphones were sold last year, according to market researcher Canalys. Symbian captured 67 percent of the OS market. Microsoft came in second at 13 percent. RIM [in third place...

What's the deal with Windows Mobile?

Watching Microsoft twist in the wind as the iPhone steals its thunder in the smart phone market is interesting and, I think, instructive. As was the case with the digital media market, where Apple swept in with its iPod devices and iTunes software, Microsoft has an established presence in this market...

REDFLY: Utility of a Handheld PC, but with the latest OS

This is exactly why I'm excited about the REDFLY as well: I was a big fan of the Handheld PCs, like the Jornada 680, because they gave me a large keyboard and display to write, surf, and be productive on the go with a long battery life. The major reason I stopped using the Handheld PC devices was...
