Flash 10 is Coming

Adobe announced today that Flash 10 (not Lite, his is the full version) will be available for Windows Mobile…in early 2010. Well at least we have some timeline:)  This finally means that other browsers (and not just SkyFire) will be able to take advantage of real Flash. If history has taught us anything, we should … Read more

NaviPanel is Touch Pro Ready

On Friday we mentioned to you that FootPrints was reworked for the Fuze and I noted that Herg had contributed to that project and had a project of his own on the side. Well, here’s the project:)  It’s called NaviPanel and was originally released on the HTC Cruise. It’s a finger friendly application that links … Read more

Touch Pro Meets Car

Mrspeedmaster of XDA put together a nice video of what happens if you use the TV out capabilities of the Touch Pro and route it through the cars built in screen. He has a Range Rover and uses an override switch to get the Touch Pro onto the monitor and as you can see the … Read more

FootPrints is Here!

Wait, you don’t know what FootPrints is? Well it’s software that was originally on the HTC Cruise that lets you create a diary of places and events. So on one screen you can have a  photo, the location (even GPS tagged), voice notes, the time/date, written notes and a phone number so you can create … Read more

Show Pictures on Your TV Through USB

One of the key features of the Touch Pro is the ability to use tv-out. And when that fancy cable came out we were all clamoring to get our hands on it. And I’ll be honest, I bought the cable and I like to have it. But what if you didn’t buy it? Good news … Read more

Remove the Envelope – Show More of the Email

I like TF3D but the text message tab is a lot more functional than the email tab since it shows the entire message while the email tab is obscured by the envelope. Want to move the envelope to be behind the emails so it doesn’t block the view anymore while still looking clean? Well fortunately … Read more

Restrict the Photos in the TF3D Tab

I’ve learned that in bright light I really do like the Fuze’s camera and it’s actually a decent replacement pocket camera. But once you start using it a lot you wind up getting a lot of photos and your TF3D photo tab becomes less useful because you’re photos are only in date order (regardless of quality) and the good ones may require so many flicks away that inevitably you’ll just open Camera Album so you can go through a few pages at a time. There’s also that little problem of some people taking photos that they don’t want other people who are looking at their phone to see. So, let’s fix it.

The photos that are in the TF3D tab are actually the ones in the album that is set as your favorite. Oh, you didn’t realize that you could make mini-albums? All you do is make a new folder (I made mine in Storage CardDCIM100 Media and named it ‘favorites’. Then move your favorite photos to that folder. Now in TF3D go to the photo tab and press the left soft key ‘Album’ and then once it loads press the left soft key ‘Albums’ again and scroll until you find that folder you created. Once scroll to it, press it and then go to the right soft key ‘Menu’ and press ‘Set Album as Favorite’ and for now on your TF3D pictures will only show that folder. If you’re an OCD person you can make an album for every event.

There’s some wiggle room here, like you can set your favorite folder as your 100Media folder and then just make sure you move any photos you do not want to see out of that folder (if you make it 100media it will add subfolders though so you need to move it out of there). You should also know that setting it as your favorite here does not impact what happens if you go to Programs – Camera Album since that will remain showing all photos as the default regardless of the favorite album setting.

Sorry – this was a little longer than I thought so hit the jump for one list tip.

When you look at your contacts list the screen that appears has 7 entries and there is a list on the right side with the alphabet that you can scroll through to go to a specific letter (called Random Access).  Each of the entries is two lines with the first line giving you the name … Read more

Add More Functionality to Your TF3D People Tab

For those of you familiar with the Touch HD, you’re probably aware that their People tab has a little more functionality than the Touch Pro’s. Under the photo it has quick launch buttons to dial a home number, cell number, sms and message (take a look at the photo). And thanks to XDA member showaco … Read more

Let’s Map More Touch Pro Buttons

Ok, let’s talk about mapping a long press of the end key and a long press of the power key. First for the easy one. There’s an easy way to remap a long press of the end key. Simply go to Settings – System – Long Press End Key and you’ll see the options to … Read more

In Call Recording Enabled For Touch Pro

There was a leak a few weeks ago of a Touch HD ROM that had in call recording (ICR) enabled. This was a shock since ICR was supposed to be impossible due to hardware limitation (apparently not). In no time it was ripped from that ROM and ported to other Touch HD ROM’s and now … Read more

Fennec Leak

Kernman of XDA provided a link to a leaked version of Fennec (Firefox mobile). As we know, a beta version of Fennec is expected next week. So what can I tell you about the leaked version? It is NOT the beta version scheduled for release. How do I know that? It lacks any form of stability. It is a whopping 23megs, requires a soft reset after installation and installs into the Games folder (which is oddly appropriate since navigating a webpage without a crash is a game). As of now, the load times are mediocre and responsiveness is questionable BUT we can still learn a few things about it. It is VGA and as we’ve seen with some other browsers the font is really really tiny. The keyboard does not automatically pop-up (even the keyboard icon does not come up automatically). You need to begin typing with the physical keyboard and then the onscreen keyboard may appear (this may be a problem for Diamond users unless they set a physical key to toggle the onscreen keyboard). And the default is to load the mobile version of the website (not the full version).

Here are a few photos to give you a sense as to what it currently looks like:
