Amot mV: An easier solution to watch video on WM devices.

Remember sometime ago I posted a pseudo solution by Sourceforge to watch YouTube videos on Pocket PCs and Smartphones. While it was a very much welcome as a temporary "fix", it was a pain to set up and use.
Here is an easier way to watch videos on our devices without the need to do any tweaking. This is a solution from Avot Media Inc, called Avot mV. The latter is free and a cab file can be downloaded directly to your device by pointing your browser to Http://m.avotmedia.com. If you prefer the executable file, connect your PC to www.avotmedia.com. Run the exe file and setup will automatically start on your device. I've just tried it and it really works. Enjoy!

Spb Software house releases Spb Business Pack

Spb Software House, the leading Windows Mobile software maker, takes steps to woo the business users of handheld devices. Its new Spb Business Pack is aimed at making the life and work of a businessperson more organized, manageable, and stress-free. The bundle intertwines four time-proven applications for keeping track of financials, appointments, access codes, local currency exchange rates, weather, and more.

"We do everything to keep a hand on the pulse of the mobile software market," - says the company's COO, Vassily Philippov - "we regularly tune in to what the mobile community has to say, and staying organized in terms of spending and tasks, as well as having immediate access to local information while abroad, is what our users want, thus we make this synergy of products for Windows Mobile devices available at a substantial, 33% discount". 

-------------
 
The Money
Spb Finance is a money management tool for monitoring the spending on the road or in the hometown. The program is compatible with both Microsoft Money and Intuit Quicken, and will be very familiar to users of the two. The Spb Finance turns the Pocket PC into a real finance management system, and helps to get rid of the desktop data dependency that the mobile people contest. 

The Destination
Spb Traveler is an adviser that has the accurate answers to the typical travel questions, taking the usual research prelude out of business trips forever. The latest weather and money exchange rates, the area codes, the time differences, the much needed unit converter and the practical tip calculator, even the capitals and the flags are only some of the things this program makes readily available to the user. 

The Meetings
Spb Diary is a program that displays the information that just can't be forgotten - on the Windows Mobile Today screen. The application is highly customizable and aesthetic, it is absolutely essential for people who need to keep track of tasks and appointments, and for whom a paper diary is not an option. 

The Passwords
Spb Wallet is a rich in functionality manager of confidential information and passwords. For those of us who have secrets, Spb Wallet offers to store the sensitive, business critical, and personal information, protected by unbreakable AES 256bit algorithm. The solution is much appreciated by users for its seamless synchronization with desktop computers, making sure that the sensitive data may be backed up at home or at work.

Tips: Add disconnect button to connectivity balloon

If you do not have the ability to disconnect an internet connection right from the Connectivity balloon, this tip is for you.
Run a Registry Editor, or get one, and go to HKLM\Control Panel\Phone\Flags2 and change the value to 8. I recommend you perform a soft reset. To remove the button change the value to 0.
