I know there are a lot of programmers out there who have their eye on the little EEE as a little programming machine. It is a wide-known fact that it has a great keyboard. Infact, I do most of my blog enteries here via it and my fingers are absolutely fine!
In this post, I’ll explain how to install VS.net on a EEE 701. I’ll be using the 2003 version as that should be “ok” for the amount of processing our little EEE can do.
Please note that all the screeshots given below link to the original images.
As you can see, as soon as you run the setup.exe, you get a warning telling you that VS.net is meant to be run at a resolution of 800 x 600. Pressing ok will continue the resolution, but, you won’t be able to continue ahead. Why? That you’ll see very soon.
Those of you who don’t know about the Opera Mobile 9.5,

They promise to release the first beta on July 15, 2008. So, stay tuned!

Researchers at Maryland and Berkeley Universities developed a prototype dual-face, modular e-book reader that allows readers to fan pages to advance in a book or via trackball. If you’re doing some serious research, the displays separate from one another, allowing one to display in landscape mode while the other runs in portrait.
Hmm. Dual displays :P I really cannot say if they would be practical in real life usage. I mean, this makes sense while reading a book, but two displays? :/

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!
