2008-05-05T09:16:00.000-07:00

Pointui Home has just seen a huge transformation, it now allows user to configure settings such task bar, comm manager etc. This time they came up with fully functional contact manager wherein users can edit contacts or make new entries. It seems that Pointui is coming up with a commercial version that will allow users to skin the whole program as per their tastes(check out their websites). All in all the new version is quite a bang on the windows mobile user interface, it beats spb mobile shell with its smooth transition, working like a charm even on a 200 mhz processor of I-mate k jam.

StartOperaMini: Mortscript for easily launching Opera Mini

2008-04-16T02:55:00.001-07:00

This script will allow you to launch Opera Mini directly and bypass the JVM's midlet selection screen. It will also allow you to use Opera Mini to respond to links, such as links in emails. Essentially, this script will help you use Opera Mini as the default browser for most browser-related tasks.

[REQUIREMENTS]
(Click to download)
1. Jbed JVM (tested with Jbed 3.1)
2. Opera Mini 4.0 or 4.1(beta)
3. Mortscript 4.1

[INSTALLATION]
1. Make sure Jbed, Mortscript, and Opera Mini are installed and working.
2. Copy the script to anywhere on your device. An often used place is in '\Program Files\Mortscript'. The script can be named anything you like, but in these instructions, it will be named StartOperaMini.mscr.
3. Run the script and it will start an installation wizard that will try to figure out how to run Opera Mini on your device, perhaps ask you a few questions, save its results to an .ini file for faster subsequent loading, and finally launch Opera Mini. If Opera Mini launches correctly, then installation is complete. The _ini.txt file (eg: StartOperaMini_ini.txt) is located in the same location as the script. If registry changes were made, a backup of the initial registry settings is cumulatively stored here in a _reg_backup.txt file (eg: (eg: StartOperaMini_reg_backup.txt).

[USAGE]
To simply launch Opera Mini, simply run the script or reference the script in shortcuts or other launcher applications. * To have Opera Mini open a link such as one in an email, simply invoke the link. The installation wizard would have already made the necessary registry changes so Opera Mini, via the script, is launched in response to a link.

[CONFIGURATION]
To re-run the installation wizard again to make different choices, simply delete the _ini.txt file and invoke the script. * When run, script will usually check if Opera Mini started correctly. If it detects a problem, it will ask if you want to re-run the installation wizard.

[LIMITATIONS]
1. Opening links to local files will invoke Internet Explorer since Opera Mini only works with Internet-accessible pages.

[UNINSTALLATION]
1. We want to invoke the installation wizard so we can undo the registry changes that reference the script. First, delete the _ini.txt file and invoke the script.
2. At the registry update screen, select 'Use IE for links' to restore Internet Explorer as the program to respond to links.
3. Quit Opera Mini after it starts if you like but it's not necessary.
4. Delete the script file. Also delete _ini.txt file, _reg_backup.txt, OperaIcon.dll and \windows\Start Menu\Start Opera Mini.lnk. You may want to first examine the _reg_backup.txt file to see what your original registry settings were.

PIM Backup

2008-04-15T02:40:00.001-07:00

The PIM backup application is a tool that allows to backup/restore personal information stored on windows mobile based pocket devices.

Concerning the personal information, I refer to contacts, appointments, tasks, messages, calls,...

The backup is totally independent of the version of Windows Mobile running on the device and independent of the device itself. The backup is also independent of the language used on the device. You can easily backup on a Chinese device and restore in a German one.

There are two kinds of backups. The binary based backup has been implemented in order to have a backup/restore process which is fast and more reliable, the disadvantage being that the backup contents cannot be easily modified or viewed.The text based backup has been implemented in order to see/edit the contents on a pc for instance.

Step by step guide to implement Google AdSense

2008-04-12T00:42:00.003-07:00

What is Google AdSense?
Google AdSense is a fast and easy way for website publishers of all sizes to display relevant, unobtrusive Google ads on their website's, Blog's or Forum's content pages and earn money. Because the ads are related to what your users are looking for on your site, you'll finally have a way to both monetize and enhance your content pages.

It's also a way for web site publishers to provide Google search to their site users, and to earn money by displaying Google ads on the search results pages.

This program is free, and combines pay-per-click and pay-per-impression advertising - meaning you get paid for valid clicks on the ads on your site or search results pages as well as impressions on your content pages. Check out there program policies and if you comply with it then go ahead and complete the online application. One application gets you approved for AdSense for contents and AdSense for search and referrals you can decide to use any combination of these products on your pages.
If you are accepted into the program, you can log in to your new account and get the HTML code to insert into your webpages.

How much will I earn through Google Adsense?

The Google ads you are able to display on your content pages can be either cost-per-click (CPC) or cost-per-1000-impressions (CPM) ads, while AdSense for search results pages show exclusively CPC ads. This means that advertisers pay either when users click on ads, or when the advertiser's ad is shown on your site. You'll receive a portion of the amount paid for either activity on your website. Although Google don't disclose the exact revenue share.

The best way to find out how much you'll earn is to sign up and start showing ads on your webpages. There's no cost, no obligation, and getting started is quick and easy. You can sign up now from the AdSense home page.

Once you're a part of Google AdSense, you can view your earnings at any time by logging in to your account at https://www.google.com/adsense and clicking the Reports tab. You'll be able to see the total number of page and ad unit impressions, ad clicks, click through rate, effective CPM, and your total earnings so you can get an idea of how well the program is performing for you and how much you can expect to earn over time in the program.

When do I get paid for it?

Google will send your check or EFT payment within approximately 30 days of the end of the month in which your account balance reaches US$100.
For example, if you earn $40 in January and $70 in February, Google will send payment to you by the end of March.

If your account balance is less than US$100 at the end of the month, they will roll your earnings over to the following month, until the payment threshold is reached. Balances include the combined earnings of AdSense for content, AdSense for search and referrals.

Step by Step Guide for Novice:
Once your AdSense application has been approved, you can follow this guide to get started with AdSense right away. The steps below will help you add an AdSense ad unit to your site.

1. Sign into your account and choose the AdSense Setup tab. On the Get Ads page, click the AdSense for Content link to create a standard Google ad unit.

2. Next, select the ad type. Since you'll be creating a standard ad unit, choose the Ad Unit radio button. To enable the widest selection of ads to display on your pages, leave the drop-down set to Text and image ads (default).

3. Now, take a moment to customize your ads so they'll match the look and feel of your site. Select the size you'd like from one of our different ad formats, keeping in mind that larger and wider ad units tend to perform better.

4. Next, select colors for your ads. You choose one of our predefined color palettes or create your own. You can view a sample of how the ads will look based on the colors you've selected. You might also want to review our tips on choosing colors.

5. If you're interested in tracking the performance of your ad unit, you can add a channel. Channels provide more granular reports for the performance of specific ad units. If you haven't created a channel yet, you can skip this step by clicking Continue.

6. Next you'll be prompted to name your AdSense ad unit. This will allow you to change the appearance or settings of your ad easily through your account in the future, so select a name that will allow you to easily identify this AdSense unit later.

7. Finally, it will provide you with the ad code for your AdSense ad unit. Click anywhere inside the grey box to select the code, then right-click and select copy. You can now paste the code into the HTML source code of your site.

Opera Mini 4.1 beta

This newest release includes several new features, including automatic completion of Web addresses, making it easier to get to the sites you need; tools for attaching files to Web-based email; uploading photos to your blog or other site; downloading attachments from email for storage on your phone; and saving and viewing pages offline.

Download Opera Mini 4.1 beta

To download directly on your computer visit www.operamini.com
New in Opera Mini 4.1 beta
Now even faster
Prior to this release, we upgraded our servers and Opera Mini now receives your requested Web pages up to 50% faster. So you can now access sites like Facebook, BBC, and any of your other favorite Web sites even faster, with Desktop-like speeds.
Find things faster
Even though scrolling to your Web content is already easy with Opera Mini, the new Opera Mini 4.1 beta lets you search for text within a Web page so you can get to the information you need even quicker than before.
Get your to your Web sites faster
Now you can stop wasting time typing in full Web addresses more than once while browsing. When typing Web addresses, Opera Mini 4.1 beta will recognize and suggest completions for you based on your Bookmarks and browsing history, making address input faster, easier and much more intuitive.
Download and upload files
On phones with JSR-75, you can now upload and download files using Opera Mini 4.1 beta, without being re-routed to your phone’s native browser. Update your blog while on the go. Upload photos to your Web site or social network. Add attachments easily to Web-based email, and download other non media-rich content to your phone using Opera Mini 4.1 beta.
Save it for later
On phones with JSR-75, Opera Mini 4.1 beta lets you save pages for offline viewing so you can quickly access and read your desired Web content, even when you’re on a plane, in the subway, or in other places where you can’t get network reception. Depending on your phone, you may need to choose a destination folder for storing pages for offline viewing.

Existing Top Features

To view the Web on a wider screen, just hit * # and flip your phone to the side to enjoy browsing in Landscape mode. Change your default view to landscape by turning “Landscape mode” on inside the Settings menu.**
Give your phone a mouse
Opera Mini gives your phone a virtual mouse, so you can easily scroll in any direction. Move the mouse cursor towards what you want, and then it quickly snaps your view to the link or content.
Power scrolling shortcuts
Scroll at warp speed using your phone keypad. Find your way around on the Web pages quicker by using your phone’s number keys. Press 2 to go up, 4 to go left, 6 to go right and 8 to go down. Hitting 5 zooms you in and out.
Create custom search shortcuts
Just like in Opera for your computer, you can create your own Web search from any search field on the Internet using Opera Mini 4.1 beta. Simply click on the search field that you want to grab on a Web page and then choose “Create search” within your menu alternatives. Then you can enjoy making frequent searches without having to type in the site link again.
Tools and support for Web designers
We support Web designers who want to make their Web sites look even better to those browsing with Opera Mini. In this Opera Mini 4.1 beta, we have included all of the CSS support that Web designers need to make their Web pages look pixel perfect on in the mobile Web world. Read more.

Microsoft Unveils Smartphone Advancements to Improve Ability to Work and Play With One Phone: Company demonstrates new version of Internet Explorer Mo

2008-04-02T12:00:00.001-07:00

LAS VEGAS— April 1, 2008 —Windows Mobile is improving smartphones to better meet people’s rapidly expanding work and personal needs, Microsoft Corp. today announced. At CTIA Wireless 2008, the company unveiled the newest version of Internet Explorer Mobile, which adds desktop-grade Web browsing to Windows Mobile phones. In addition, Microsoft announced Windows Mobile 6.1, an update for its Windows Mobile software that includes new time-saving features, easier phone navigation and management, and increased security safeguards.

“People want a single phone that’s flexible enough to meet their needs throughout their day, whether it’s connecting to work or your everyday life,” said Robbie Bach, president of the Entertainment and Devices Division at Microsoft. “The innovations we’ve added to our Windows Mobile software ultimately make it easier to manage your world.”

“Microsoft is taking the necessary steps to broaden its consumer
appeal while also addressing the complex mobile needs of the
enterprise,” said Ben Bajarin, analyst with Creative Strategies.
“Internet Explorer Mobile and Windows Mobile 6.1 demonstrate
Microsoft’s ability to harness its technologies to bring tangible
innovations and benefits to customers and partners.”
Updated Internet Explorer Mobile Brings the Quality of Desktop Web Browsing to Phones
The
new version of Internet Explorer Mobile adds the ability to easily view
full-screen Web pages and multimedia on the Web with a smartphone. By
taking advantage of Internet Explorer 6 technologies and supporting
established and upcoming industry standards such as H.264, Adobe Flash
and Microsoft Silverlight, the updated Internet Explorer Mobile gives
people a rich mobile Internet experience. The update will be available
to mobile phone partners in the third quarter of 2008, with the first
Windows Mobile phones using the new version expected to be available by
the end of 2008.
Windows Mobile Update Drives Simpler Experience
Windows
Mobile 6.1 features several key updates based on customer feedback,
including the capability to make the most critical information readily
available at a glance, quicker phone setup, and enhanced features
adapted for the small screen. In addition, if coupled with System
Center Mobile Device Manager 2008 or Exchange Server 2007 SP1, Windows
Mobile 6.1 provides the best experience for IT professionals to manage
mobile phones for businesses.
Windows Mobile 6.1 will help people
get more from their phones by bringing updates to what they care about
most. With Windows Mobile 6.1 users will be able to accomplish the
following:
•
Stay up to date and share from a single location.
Glance at and respond to notifications such as missed calls, upcoming
appointments and new messages from the home screen as well as play
music and share photos.
•
Get up and running in minutes. From
setting up e-mail, a Bluetooth headset or Wi-Fi, the new Getting
Started Center makes the phone experience intuitive and simple.
•
Save time with features adapted for the small screen.
Easily flag, delete or move groups of messages and keep track of
conversations through threaded text messaging. Zoom in on text or
pictures, or view an entire Web page at once.
•
Help keep business information protected. Support
for System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008 helps administrators
manage phones similarly to a Windows-based PC or access company data
that may be behind a firewall; and support for Exchange Server 2007 SP1
advanced mobile policies helps businesses manage and administer
security for phones while enabling people to find, share, and use
information no matter where they are.

Review of "Pointui Home"

2007-12-31T02:21:00.000-08:00

Check out New Version is available (Monday, May 5, 2008)

I call it revolution for a Windows mobile devices, pointui.com has changed the way people looked at windows mobile.
With this program it is no more complicated for a newbie to use a windows enabled phone, it has got all the eye candy i think anyphone can give.
To scroll up you need to move your finger in the opposite direction, and if you need to move faster may be when you are searching call history move you your finger from top to the bottom.
It also has bookmark searching, it will activate itself if you'll scroll on the left side of the screen.
As you can see in the above image it has "Home" same like windows "Today". It shows all relevant information like Radio signal strength, Battery indicator, Volume status and on the top left corner is the setting menu(I will come to it later on). Now in middle of the screen is Digital timer, Analog timer, weather, upcoming task-appointment, calender, you need to slide your finger on the middle to cycle all the program.

At the bottom of the screen is call history icon, email, text message and windows media player. Below that you can see a triangular arrow facing downward, clicking on it will display the following tab- New, Favorites, Applications and Currently running.

Now i will explain you one by one what this application does. New tab has option to create new document, text-multimedia message, email, contact, task, appointment and spreadsheet. Favorites has all the item you enabled in startmenu menu. Application has all the item there is in your programs menu. And Currently running is same as its name suggest(see image below).

Now on the top left of the corner of the home screen you can see a setting icon. Clicking on it will take you to system menu.

In system menu there is everything you have in your startmenu\settings.

And Lastly there is two type of navigation in this program- object navigation and
slide navigation.

Pros:
1.Smooth transition in a really slow 200mhz processor
2.Big buttons for more practical use.
3.Cover all the menus
4.Fast
5.Uses marginal RAM
6.Support for Window Mobile 2003

Cons:
1.It doesn't Allow for theme
2. Contacts and Phone still not covered.
3.It doesn't support VGA.

Conclusion:
The powerful function of windows mobile and the all the transition and beauty of this UI(User Interface) will make using windows mobile a joy.
This application covers the startmenu and settings menu and all other small things you can think of. It also support call history in its program. The knockout part of this program is that it runs smoothly and with all its glory in merely a 200mhz processor of my HTC Wizard. This application is a must keeper for all Winmo users if they truly hate the winmo's default UI and love to have something more user freindly in their pocket. And above everything all the thanks goes to www.pointui.com for keeping this program free.
But dont forget donate on their website.

Update:
There is a new version available with lots bug fixes and new features.

New Features

Smartphone support
PDA's (without phone) support
Voice mail count is now displayed under the missed call count for those with phone networks supporting this feature.
Lock screen will fade back to Home screen to allow you to see all of the status information even when device is locked.
Translation support - see the forums for more information.
New customise option: can choose digital or analog clock.
New customise option: Lock Device, Show Home, or Show Home Screen when device is switched on.
New customise option: automatically switch bluetooth on only during phone calls and switch off at the end of the call (not supported on all devices). The idea behind this is that if you only use bluetooth during phonecalls for headset etc and don't need it on all the time, then this option could be useful to you. It will turn bluetooth on as soon as an incoming/outgoing call is detected, and turn it off when you hang up.
New customise option: can choose to use Home's comm manager or system default if supported.
New customise option: can choose to not show screenshots in Currently Running screen (if your device has issues showing the screenshots).
New customise option: can choose to Show Home, Show Call Summary Screen, or Do Nothing when call is finished.
New customise option: can choose to use Home's task bar or standard system task bar.
The list of applications now merges the list of favorites so you can view the entire list together
Call summary screen added to display who was called and how long call lasted for at end of call.
Lock screen can now be used on smartphones - you press up then down on dpad.
You now have an additional option to "Lock Device" on power on.
Battery saving - now only uses marginally more battery power than normal - smartphone users should notice a big difference (of course this is dependent on how excessive you are with using it).

Changes

Taskbar in all other standard apps is no longer changed except for the Start button area which still takes you to Home's Task Menu.
Windows Media icon has been replaced with Favorites.
Appointments summary shows only the next 7 days of appointments.
Tasks summary no longer shows completed tasks.
Force close now returns focus back to Home.
Ringer volume and profile button on sound screen for non-phone devices are no longer displayed.
Appointments now display all day events in bold and should not display events that have been completed for the day.
"Today" and "Tomorrow" in appointments also now show the date after them
Smartphones no longer have a Windows Mobile section as it's not relevant.
Shortcut no longer includes "." at start which was causing issues for button mapping.
Soft key on Today screen no longer overridden. (NOTE: you will need to reset it back to what it was manually if you have a previous version installed).

Bug Fixes

Many bugs fixed!
Memory leak issues fixed.
Lock screen locks keys as well, and when orientation changed while locked the keys remain locked.
Recurring appointments now displayed.
Hardware buttons now working.
Volume controls now working.
Volume controls support stereo.
Control panel applets have had a number of bug fixes. They still are only categorised correctly for English ROMS unless you use a translated terms file as described in the forums.
Battery shouldn't show 255% any more but some devices for some reason do not report the correct % when asked and can take a while before they report it successfully.
The speed that tasks load has been improved and should no longer cause freezes.
Currently Running screen causing device to freeze has been fixed on most devices, but still is problematic with some devices in which case you need to switch off the screenshots option.
Closing home sometimes caused it to freeze needing soft reset issue has been fixed.

After marriage, husband and wife become two sides of a coin; they just can't face each other, but still they stay together.

Woman inspires us to great things, and prevents us from achieving them.

Dumas
The great question... which I have not been able to answer... is, "What does a woman want?

Sigmund Freud
I had some words with my wife, and she had some paragraphs with me...

Anonymous
"Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays."

Sam Kinison
"There's a way of transferring funds that is even faster than electronic banking. It's called marriage."

James Holt McGavran
"I've had bad luck with both my wives. The first one left me, and the second one didn't."

Patrick Murray
Two secrets to keep your marriage brimming
1. Whenever you're wrong, admit it,
2. Whenever you're right, shut up.

You know what I did before I married? Anything I wanted to.

Henny Youngman
My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met.

A good wife always forgives her husband when she's wrong.

lol.. lovely joke

MBA v/s Engineer

An MBA and an Engineer go on a camping trip,
set up their tent, and fall asleep.
Some hours later, the Engineer wakes his MBA friend.
"Look up at the sky and tell me what you see."

The MBA replies, "I see millions of stars."

"What does that tell you?" The MBA ponders for a minute.

"Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are
millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.

Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo.

Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three.

Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant.

Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.

Economically there are mass scales of stars in the sky.
So "Economy of Scale " would be the ideal strategy in that market.

Strategically such market would be a volume driven market

Financially it would be a low margin market.

From HR point of view we would require huge manpower

What does it tell you?"

The Engineer is silent for a moment, then speaks.
"Practically"

•	Stay up to date and share from a single location. Glance at and respond to notifications such as missed calls, upcoming appointments and new messages from the home screen as well as play music and share photos.
•	Get up and running in minutes. From setting up e-mail, a Bluetooth headset or Wi-Fi, the new Getting Started Center makes the phone experience intuitive and simple.
•	Save time with features adapted for the small screen. Easily flag, delete or move groups of messages and keep track of conversations through threaded text messaging. Zoom in on text or pictures, or view an entire Web page at once.
•	Help keep business information protected. Support for System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008 helps administrators manage phones similarly to a Windows-based PC or access company data that may be behind a firewall; and support for Exchange Server 2007 SP1 advanced mobile policies helps businesses manage and administer security for phones while enabling people to find, share, and use information no matter where they are.
