by

I put together a quick video of my Fuze using Microsoft’s TagReader seen below, and yes it’s working on WM6.5 As commented in the previous post, there are some alternatives to Microsoft’s version such as the NeoReader http://www.neoreader.com/ but it doesn’t appear that the Microsoft TagReader is compatible with NeoReader’s QR Codes.

Vlingo Speaks Out About The Fuze

Vlingo Beta Available for the Fuze

by

setup 2 I presume most of you have heard about Vlingo by now (if not from an angry WM user who feels slighted or by an iPhone user or BB users bragging). If not:

Vlingo lets you control your mobile phone with the power of voice. With Vlingo, you can simply speak to your phone to send a text or email message, call a friend, search the mobile web, update your social status, and more. As the inventor of the mobile phone voice user interface, Vlingo is the only technology that allows you to open and use virtually any application on the phone simply by pressing a button and speaking to the phone.

Recently a beta was released for WM but it was for a handful of phones and the Fuze/Touch Pro was not included on the list. That won’t stop us from testing it though:) Rdavidsmith from PPCGeeks has provided a ‘fixed’ cab that works on the Fuze (which I also uploaded here to our forums for conveniences).  So let’s go through a few setup shots followed by my initial findings:

JMZ Presents Lockscreen Changer

JMZ has written a simple application to change the lock screen background in WM 6.5 so that you can have a different photo for the lock screen than your regular background photo. Pretty neat.

What’s the Meaning of This?

by

I don’t know about you, but I come across a lot of words when I’m reading that I don’t know the  meaning of. But I’m either too lazy to pick up that heavy dictionary in the next room or I don’t have one handy (like on an airplane). So I searched the Web looking for … Read more
