My TOP-5 Must-Have Applications for the Windows Mobile Professional

Must-have applications are those which SHOULD be installed on every single windows Mobile professional device. Windows Mobile, even though has been a great platform. But, it is no secret that most of the built-in applications that come with the windows mobile OS, sadly suck :(

I’ve got ~8years of experience in the windows mobile world. I’ve seen the windows mobile platform growing and today, it is one of the most powerful mobile platform available. In this span of time, some of the very nice applications have come up. These applications are not meant to satisfy one’s specific needs, but they actually make your windows mobile device more complete.
Let us take a look at them:

1) RESCO FILE EXPLORER: This is how the in built file explorer should have been. The Resco File explorer offers some great features like touch interface, zip support, rar support, encryption, virtual folder support and plethora of other great features. Other than that, it is still light on memory and does not gobbles up the resources, when running in the background.

2) SPB POCKET PLUS: SPB calls this great application as the service pack for windows mobile. Well, they certainly have backed up this statement by producing an awesome(!) piece of application which integrates into the windows mobile OS so well that you’ll think that the application was a part of the OS! It incorporates a today plugin; adds support of tabs in IE; safe mode; adds zip and encryption support in the built-in file explorer. And after incorporating all those features, it doesn’t slows down your device a bit! Great work!

Google's Android delayed – too late to compete with iPhone?

Undoubtedly, Google sits on the top of search engine business, but, it is now experiencing delays in launch of it’s mobile OS, Android.

“This is where the pain happens,” Andy Rubin, Google’s director of mobile platforms. “We are very, very close.” He was talking about adding features etc requested by carrier partners. I think this is why Jobs was smart in being tyrannical and ignoring carrier requests when it came to software. Google apparently can’t afford to ignore partner requests.

Reports reveal that the OS will be launched in Q4, 2008. I wish I could hear the loud laugh from the Apple’s Steve Jobs! :D

Is the Google Android a little too late to compete with the Jesus phone aka iPhone? :P
