Yahtzee Time…I Mean Yarboo Time

by

XDA member dikkyboy has released a flash based arcade version of Yahtzee called Yarboo. Just take a look at the pic to see what it looks like. Since it’s flash it resizes to VGA and just gives you slight bars on the side that do not impact game play. Now I think it works well … Read more

Iqua Smart Badge Bluetooth Headset Review

by

 

Hello, Hello! Been a long time since i showed my face over here, besides the occasional interesting press release, but I’m back with a few reviews coming up for you. One of the cool things about being a full-time products reviewer is that you get all kinds of interesting and unique  things for review, and I think what I have today counts, most certainly, as a unique product.

Up on the old review block today I’ve got the Iqua Smart Badge Bluetooth Headset, odd name right? Well it’s an odd product, but not in a bad way, it’s actually rather neat! It’s a bluetooth headset, but it’s also an identification badge in one, I know it sounds like a strange combination but bear with me here, it’s actually rather ingenious if you think about it. I know for a lot of people this product might seem useless, but for those out there that have to use an id badge this is a great little product if you think about it. Most of us have bluetooth headsets, and some of us carry an ID badge, well that’s just two things we need to remember to take with us and possibly forget somewhere or even lose, but here you’ve got it incorporated into one easy to use product.

Read on to learn more, I’ve got a bunch of pictures, it comes with some nice accessories as well…

A Walk Through WM 6.5 Build 23028 – Naked

by

There are so many cooked ROMs out there it’s hard to tell how far Microsoft has come with 6.5. With that in mind, Herg put together a naked ROM for me – one that lacks HTC and other enhancements. This way you can get a sense as to what MS has done and what they … Read more

Are You a Nut For Sports?

by

I can’t say I’m a sports nut (I’m pretty tired of touchdown dances, trash talk, and steroids), but the first thing I look at every day is how the Red Sox or the Patriots are doing (please no snarky comments from Yankees or Giants fans!). But if you are one of those sports crazies who … Read more

Dialing With Google Voice

by

Google Voice seems to be the next big thing in mobile technology, so it stands to reason that our phones need to have GV seamlessly integrated into its functioning. Well, along comes the interestingly named AssassinsLament (does that mean he feels bad after he kills someone or he’s complaining about his job?) with gVo (not … Read more

Unlocking the full mobility of email

by

If you’re a self-proclaimed important person like me, then email means the world to you. Being able to have access to my email in its entirety is just as critical as having email itself. Unfortunately, not everyone knows how to complete this task on our smartphones, so I’ll lend a helping hand.

So you’ve gone ahead and added your email to your phone. All the hello kitty notifications and Aunt Sally emails you can chew on the go! GREAT! But I’ve noticed something very disturbing throughout the years on many a people’s phones! After they’ve added the email account, they go no further. By default, windows mobile is only set to pull down headers and 3 days’ worth of email. So what’s wrong with that? EVERYTHING!

For starters, only 3 days of email? I can understand why this option is set by default; I find a lot of people let their inbox run wild. So 3 days would be a good way of keeping it to a readable amount. But for a neat freak like me (I am lying through my teeth here,) being able to have all available mail on the server for reference at any time is a blessing.

My second issue is with the headers. Back in 1765 (exaggeration) when windows mobile was introduced, data plans where through the roof. So I could understand the thought process of making something like pulling headers default. But here in 2009, data plans are still through the roof, but you can’t own the phone without owning data. So let’s do away with the madness. Where headers really become annoying is the way you view an email. After the email has been downloading, when you go to read it you’ll be prompted by the most annoying message to date. “Click here to download more.” So you’d have to check off the pretty little green arrow, then send and receive a second time. This is a complete waste of time.

So what can we do to get around this? Head on over to MENU, then TOOLS and select OPTIONS.

Better Outlook Mobile Integration

I must admit that I had a difficult time coming up with some pithy angle to this app (the other contributors are a tough act to follow). It’s not cute or fun, but it is really practical. So I’m going to go with the straight-faced, utilitarian approach to introducing you to this app (this post … Read more
