Vito Technology is getting ready for the summer and announcing its Summer Actions - 

a lot of cool initiatives to enjoy the hottest season of the year!

 

First of all the Vito Technology contest 'Give a new face to Winterface' opens today. A lot of Winterface fans have expressed the desire to create new skins for Winterface and now the opportunity is there for them to grab. So get creative and send Vito Technoogy your new Winterface skins.
ü  Vito Technology will collect them and show them on the http://blog.vitotechnology.com selecting "staff favorite" each week.

ü  Vito Technology will select the best skins, adapt them and let our users download freely additional skins for the new Winterface version coming out in summer

ü  with previous creators' agreement Vito Technology will name the new skins with the title given by its creator (feel free to use your personal name or use your creativity for it)

ü  Great prizes are available for the best skins: a mobile device for the winner and bonus cards ($) for second and to fifth place. 

 

Few tips on how to take part in it:

• format of skins should be png or psd, each element in the separate layer (further details on how to make it and an example psd file find on our blog)
• send your skins via email to Olya at vitotechnology dot com
• follow updates and see your skins published on Vito Technology http://blog.vitotechnology.com/?p=78   
• send skins in the following 3 weeks 
• winners will be announced one week after

 

Please note that Vito Technology designers will have to work on the files sent by the participants or make sure they fit with the new Winterface technical requirements. Some changes might apply.

 

Vito Technology also understands that during summer a lot of people feel like changing style. No better opportunity than this one to enjoy the super discount on Communication Suite now at only $24.95 (you save another $15). Communication Suite changes the style of your Windows Mobile Phone giving it a complete remake and functionality. It includes 5 programs: Winterface, Fun Contact, SMS Chat, ZoomBoard, Weather and you pay for each of them even less than $5.

 

 

Not feeling like a whole new suite? Look at the discounted ZoomBoard , now at $9.95 (you save $5). ZoomBoard makes chatting, texting and writing on your phone just smooth and fast. We suggest to use it together with our new SMS-Chat. Think at how quickly you will communicate with everybody to organize that summer drink with all your friends.

What can you do with the new Windows Live? Find out

Tips: Quickly filter your messages.

Applying a quick filter helps find your messages faster. This will work if you have a device with a full keyboard, one that has 5 rows like the HTC Advantage or the Touch pro. Using the CTRL and letter will apply a filter and display messages by sorting them using the letter you chose in the key combination. You must not press and hold the CTRL key. If you do so and press the letter A, you will end up selecting all your messages. So, press and release CTRL, press the letter you want as your filter and your messages will be sorted accordingly.

SPB releases SPB TV updates; 40 new channels added

The ability to watch TV on a device wherever I am is cool. I have SPB TV on my device and hardly ever use it. This is because the channels I would like to see are simply not there. Maybe SPB should negotiate with major broadcasters to offer their shows or sports events against a fee; sort of a pay-per-view scenario. That way i would be able to watch a basket ball game while my wife finally makes a decision to buy that dress she wants at the mall.

Today SPB announced the release of a new version of SPB TV with 40 new channels. Here’s an excerpt of their press release:

 

Spb TV is a subscription-free mobile IPTV viewer, designed for tuning in to publicly available digital TV channels from all over the world.  A downloadable software client, Spb TV makes a wide range of international live TV channels available for viewing directly on Windows Mobile phones.  Spb TV does not only provide users with access to a world of live TV streaming on the go, but it offers exclusive on-screen controls and an integrated TV guide.  Spb TV supports fast channels switching, use of intelligent stream correction, picture-in-picture mode, and export of show reminders into Outlook, brining the genuine TV watching experience onto mobile.  Spb TV requires a high speed mobile data connection which may be available via 3G, Wi-Fi, or WiMax networks.

You can suggest new channels through the link below:

SPB TV is available for $14.95 at www.spbsoftwarehouse.com
