AT&T Quickfire On Display
As we reported last night, the AT&T Quickfire is being sold early in a small rural market. Our ninja decided she would take a shot of the new UTStarcom device being displayed in an AT&T store. Drum roll please…

The next version of the Apple Newton is a device that will be found in the far future on store shelves, but that won’t stop people from speculating today. At Computerworld they have a (rather generic) Photoshop of what the next Apple Newton may appear as. The device is shown as an iPhone turned sideways [...]


You can read an excellent review of the T-Mobile Shadow at MobileBurn.com. They go into great detail and have some nice things to say about the phone. Recommended reading if you are on the fence as to what your next T-Mobile cell phone should be.


I’ve been hard at work (since I’m spending a few days of well deserved vacation at home I have some free time) putting out one new Windows Mobile 6.0 program after another. It started with the points calculator, then came the reflexes game, and now comes Hoppper.
Hopper is a new version of a game I [...]


Ever wanted to watch YouTube on your Windows Mobile Handheld / Smartphone and realized you can’t? Well this is a solution for you! YouTube Pocket will allow you to search all of YouTube in a mobile friendly format and stream the videos live in a fashion much similar to the iPhone. Best of all it [...]


Speaking of challenging. Starting out programming using Visual Studio 2005 has been more complicated than I expected. I wrote everything previously in UltraEdit 32 so it’s had it growing pains. It started off complicated when I started to find my Visual Studio 2005 install discs, then installing required updates, and finally downloading the Windows Mobile [...]


Turns out the new Zune 2.0 player is not affected by simple registry hacks. I’ve spent some time today looking around to see if adding in MPEG and Divx file types to the new Zune 2.0 software. Turns out I wasn’t able to succeed. As you can see from the screenshot I was able to [...]


I’ve moved away-once again-to a new phone. The T-Mobile Shadow. I’m looking for something with a bit more expansion capability where more people would have access to my software. My wife did upgrade to the LX so I plan on porting all the software I’ve written so far to work on it once SKDR is [...]


I updated Remember at skdr.net to include networked high scores. Check it out and see if you can top my score.


With the release of the latest members of the Hiptop family quickly approaching I’ve decided it’s time to upgrade. I’ve read the initial reactions to the new Sidekick LX and am quite pleased with what I’ve seen and heard. The recently released photos of the LX and Slide are certainly an eye candy upgrade to [...]


Okay, a very simple program for those aspiring developers (much like myself) to deconstruct. It adds two numbers using NumberEditor and NumberField objects. Very simple program with lots and lots of documentation.As you can see, 8 + 6 does in fact equal 14. So it successfully can add two numbers together. I’m going to add [...]


Looking to start programming? Well I couldn’t recommend the forums at developer.danger.com more, everyone has been very prompt to answer my questions and I’ve learned quite a bit. Enough to release a very simple (I repeat very simple) program. Updated from the Hello World sample program from Danger this just shows a few more parts [...]


Speaking with a Newtontalk member off list I decided that maybe I should continue my mini-review / how-to guide for Newton adventures (you may remember Flash Card or Common Words) but I’d like to hear some suggestions / submissions for what people are looking to do or have done with their Newton. It would [...]


Well looks like Molly Shannon got the hatchet back while typing away. I admit that I’ve been lost in thought before while tapping out message after message. But never enough to ignore the hatchet. Great showing for the power of the Sidekick.

Looks like she’s Asking Jeeves on how to remove a hatchett that’s just out [...]


If you don’t read Cargo “The New Buyers guide for Men” you definately should. In the February issue (on stands now) they review cell phones with keyboards (strangely missing from the index found on page 86). They compare the Danger Hiptop with the Nokia 9300, Motorola MPX, Siemens sx66 as well as a few others. [...]
