Design your own comics with Radical Comic Designer for Windows Mobile.

It's been a long time since I last saw a really inspired application for Windows Mobile. Radical Comic Designer Mobile was designed to let you add dialogs to your pictures. Isn't that nice? Just imagine taking pictures of your friends and having them saying funny things. Things that they actually never said. All that with bubbles like you see in comics. Really inspired. Good job folks.

Radical Comic Designer Mobile is not free and available for purchase for $9.95.

Have fun.

The one thing that I appreciate with Vito is that they are always updating there software. Of course the updates are to make their software better. The “new version includes new Winterface 1.31 and new Weather 1.3. New Winterface now has a new bright skin and improved functionality. Weather app has been upgraded with additional options like update frequency, language, skin and more.” If you have never tried Vito’s products before, now is the time. It’s really worth it.

Smartphone sales reached its lowest growth rate in 2008

3.7% increase in the fourth quarter of 2008 according Gartner Inc. 139.3 million devices have been sold in 2008. That’s an impressive number despite the low growth rate. I think that sales figure for 2009 might be even lower due to the global economic recession. Let’s hope the World recovers quickly from this situation.

Free: Copernic Mobile 1.0

Copernic Mobile allows you to search and access your computer's content from anywhere, using a mobile device (phone, PDA, etc.) or a remote PC. Providing access to content such as files, emails, calendar items, music and pictures stored on your PC, Copernic Mobile's lightweight and friendly user interface seamlessly adapts your computer's content for quick and easy viewing on your mobile device.

Copernic Mobile works with XP and Vista and is not compatible with Windows 7. I just downloaded the program to my windows 7 laptop and got a message on the screen saying that Copernic Mobile requires “XP or later”. But wait a minute, isn’t Windows 7 the latest??? Ok, still in beta, but the latest nonetheless.

Anyway, I‘ve started my Vista PC to try Copernic. Another issue there. I’ll have to wait a bit as it seems my Vista needs some repairs. Right now it’s attempting repairs… This might take over an hour to complete. We’re celebrating our National day here today. Maybe I should just  stay away from all my devices. They probably just need a break.

Download your free copy of Copernic Mobile from here.

Devices that Microsoft MVPs use

Myself, I currently use a HTC 8125 running WM6, a HTC S620 and a HTC Advantage X7510. My friend and fellow MVP Johan Van Mierlo, who appears in the video, could not pick up one device. Instead he has four; lucky guy. and there is this MVP who uses a Google Android device. Check out the video at http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1408996393/bctid14927221001

Microsoft Honeycomb is pure genius.

This is according to Long Zheng of www.istartedsomething.com Who wrote a short explanatory article about Microsoft choice for a hexagonal arrangement for Windows Mobile 6.5 rather than a grid.

I won't write more about this, but I just want to quote this comment that appears to be directed towards the journalist over at Engadget and which, in my opinion, is correct:

"...but that's what happens when misinformed "journalists" try to appear smart".
