Yearning for that Touch Diamond interface? Try Tempus

One of the great coders of xda-developers, TWOLF have come up with this great application, Tempus

I decided to do a video review of the application:

Here is what it looks like:

The only drawback I see is the use of shareware flash plugin, Animated Today. But, the Tempus is avaliable for free! TWOLF is looking for someone to make a freeware flash plugin for him. If you got that coding capability, go ahead and give him a hand :)

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!

Many of us got frustrated due to this. Very soon, HTC came up with this accessory, HTC 3-IN-ONE USB ADAPTER. Continue reading “HTC 3-in-one USB adapter reviewed!”
