    AIM: First Native iPhone IM Client work | (0)
    Today AOL announced a Native and fully supported AIM client, the first officially supported IM client for the iPhone. This comes on the heels of the OpenAIM 2.0 announcement yesterday. Native applications mean no more breaking your phone or having to stay online to receive instant messages. The engineers have been working around the clock to release this application in time for todays press conference and demonstrated a live chat on stage at the iPhone SDK release press conference. I'll get screenshots and a review out as soon as I can get my hands on them!

    THE Free Windows Mobile SSH Client on the go | (1)
    Looking for a good Windows Mobile SSH client for your phone? For all of the Unix and Linux professionals out there, having a good SSH Client for your Pocket PC could mean the difference between leaving a conversation with a beautiful person of the opposite sex early or closing the deal for the evening. Ok, well this situation isn't exactly realistic because if you excuse yourself to type a bunch of text on your phone, you've likely blown it anyway. Continue Reading...

    Leaked Windows Mobile 6.1 gets Reviewed reviews | (1)
    I had a chance to get my hands on a Windows Mobile 6.1 homebrew release late last night. You might be asking what all the noise is about this new release on the web? Windows Mobile phones are likely the most hacked mobile phones on the market today. There's a strong Pocket PC Developer Community and are compatible with virtually any hardware. WinMo 6.1 is only an incremental release, so I'm only expecting to see a few minor differences. Here are the differences that I've noticed at first blush: Continue Reading...

    AIM with Open Arms work | (1)
    This morning AOL is announcing the release of OpenAIM 2.0 to the developer community. Developers will now have access to a number of AOL provided libraries and documentation on our proprietary OSCAR protocol. This will make it easier than ever to integrate AIM into both desktop clients and web sites. In addition, we also announced the OpenAIM Developer Challenge through Topcoder. We've been a sponsor of their annual collegiate challenge, but this is the biggest Topcoder Event we've sponsored yet!

    iPhone Torrent Client on the go | (1)
    Noted iPhone hacker Core has just gotten the open source torrent client Transmission to run natively on the iPhone! I know that I predicted that the SDK would bring us limited useful applications, but I may have been wrong. I'm not sure that the UI is quite ready for prime time, as you can tell by the above screenshot, but that is likely to be a much easier issue. The only downside is that it would take quite a while to download an album or especially a movie over EDGE. However, I could see someone opening a torrent site of ...

    Google Gears on the go! on the go | (2)
      Google Gears just announced that their offline web application tools will be available on the Windows Mobile platform. Google Gears will extend PIE to include a local cache for html and javascript as well as a local database. This allows you to access data from web tools even when you don't have a signal. Now this isn't very helpful for email and IM, but will open the door for better integration with more complex web applications via the mobile web. This is helpful for more complex applications like office productivity tools and Finance. To exemplify the use of this powerful API ...

    Yahoo Goes for Windows Mobile on the go | (0)
    I had a chance to spend a little time playing with Yahoo Go on my Windows Mobile 6 PDA over the weekend. The overall design is good and the navigation responsive, though the initial load time took a bit. That could be a drag when you're on the go. I wonder whether it would grind to a halt when loaded with rss, sports and stocks. Although if you kept Yahoo Go running it would download all your content for you and have it waiting.
