By now, you have probably downloaded the official Facebook application from Microsoft site. I blogged about it on it’s release sometime back. And by now, you may be asking why they did not include the chat feature. I do not have the answer, but I did come across an application named Facebook Instant Messenger for Windows Mobile. It works well and wish it could be integrated with Facebook mobile. The one thing both apps have in common is the free availability.

SPB Geo game is a fun way to discover the world’s capital cities and national flags. “"Getting to know all the countries in the world with their capitals and flags is something a lot of us always wanted to do, but never had the time, - comments Vassili Philippov, SPB Software COO - "SPB Geo Game grants the opportunity to test ourselves and study the world's diversity in a fun and relaxing manner, within the few spare moments we have," Vassili concludes. SPB Geo Game offers two separate game modes: Capitals and Flags. The 'right answer' and its location are shown on a 3D globe.”

Samsung posted the specs and pics of the new Omnias on their website and they look great. I’m not sure they all run Windows Mobile, but I do like the Omnia Pro B7320 for its front-faced keyboard. The Omnia II and Pro B7610 runs Windows Mobile 6.1. Why not Windows Mobile 6.5? Check out the full press release here.Last week I posted about Google Maps setting my location in…Singapore. Check out the article here. After a week, Google Maps finally found me in my home town in Mauritius. Previously, Google maps had set my location in Outram in Singapore. I did nothing to fix the issue. It did it all by itself…after a week. Better late than never :)
I spotted this utility on Microsoft Steve Clayton’s blog and thought I would pass it along.Now, isn’t that cool.

I’m having some issues with Google maps on my HTC advantage X7510 and I thought that warrants a post. Ever since i got my device, Google maps has been working great. It would show up my location within a 100 meters. Which is not so bad for a free internet location-based service. I do not own a GPS device, thus I do not have any experience with GPS. There is no need for me to own one on this small rocky island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. However, I noticed that Google Maps was acting funny since last week.
Yesterday I launched the application and instead of showing my location, it displayed my location within 2500 meters. Instead of my home town, I had the capital city of Mauritius on my screen. Today is even worst, as it’s showing my location within 5000 meters. Google has me now in Outram in Singapore. I have come to even doubt that Singapore is within 5000 meters from Mauritius (or I’ve lost my bearing) Come on Google, it would be awesome if you could have your software physically send me there. Don’t you think?
Wait a minute, I’m still running Opera Mobile 9.5 beta on my devices. One of them even came pre-loaded with it. So how come that Opera is announcing a new beta while they never released the full version of 9.5? They posted an answer here.
Opera Mobile 9.7 beta is not available for download yet, so check the video in the link http://my.opera.com/operamobile/blog/2009/03/26/opera-mobile-9-7-beta-for-windows-mobile

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.
