Web apps for WM

I have been interested in seeing web apps for wm devices (ala what you can get on Iphone through Safari). Are there any such apps? Any specific browser needed to get these apps? OR Safari port for windows mobile?

There are Opera Mobile - Internet Explorer - Deepfish (beta and it sucks) and Opera Mini 4 (Java, works great (except you don't have touchscreen moving interface) but it's cheaper so better (less data to download).
I don't think there are others

As far as Safari widgets are concerned, they can't be used on WM and can't be ported either.
that is, you need to rely on alternate technologies. Fortunately, better WM browsers support Flash, Java applets, Web services, Ajax and the like.
You can find an answer to ALL your questions in my Web Browsing Bible: http://forum.xda-developers.com:80/showthread.php?t=301009

apple is not really known to port to wm
and is as closed sourcecodewise as ms
are you are talking about some widget kinda
things for safari ?

yeah.. how can i find a safari-like web application experience on wm. is there a listing of "windows mobile web apps" -- i don't mean the browser itself.

minimo? albeit it's pretty buggy and slow

Hamachi/UltraVNC wm6 connection

Trying to remote control work pc on my mogul. I set up Hamachi VPN and UltraVNC. No problem controlling office pc from home with UltraVNC viewer but I can't get a viewer to connect to office pc from my mogul. Have tried PT Pocket Office, MochaSoft and .net VNC viewers. All say connection not a VNC server. How do I make it work?

try RealVNC,it has a freeware Windows viewer/server version and even a freeware ppc version....

The only PPC I'm seeing on their site refers to the old Macintosh CPU... can you provide a link?

Hamachi + FTP or Pocket Controller

Probably a silly question, but, I gotta ask...
Did you install the Hamachi client on your PPC?
I have finished testing the following products and all work like magic on my Tilt using Hamachi.
Tested: Remote Desktop client for PPC, SOTI Pocket Controller Pro, HFS HTTP File Server, Mocha FTP Server.

Hamachi is installed on PPC and I can IM to/from desktop.
did you use them with ultravnc or a different server? are there any settings on viewer or server i am overlooking?

I was finally able to install RealVNC and it seems to be working with both mocha and .net. I do not see a RealVNC ppc version. Do you have a link?

Pt pocket office and second life.
I am just playing second life and have found a cool demo of someone playing SL through his smartphone with pocket office.
Anyone got any experience with this application and its speed?
The video was pretty impressive, it was very fast and responsive.
It looked to good to be true

Mr. Google has some great links...
Try this one for example: http://home.utah.edu/~mcm5849/wince/vnc.html

I looked at that viewer and many others in my initial attempt to to find a ppc viewer to work with UltraVNC. As RealVNC has a free pc viewer/server version, I read your initial post

to mean that RealVNC also had a PPC version which I could not find at http://www.realvnc.com. Anyway, thanks for the point to RealVNC. The remote desktop works great.

Guys... Please DO search the Wiki whenever possible!
At http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Access your desktop PC from your Pocket PC! , I've really thoroughly compared the different VNC clients and servers. It's an absolute must.
In a nutshell, you'll most probably want to use PT Pocket Office.

Hi there,
Microsoft Office Mobile 6.1: Upgrade for Microsoft Office 2007 file formats - 29-11-2007, 09:56 PM
Microsoft have now released Office 6.1 upgrades for devices, at long last:
Microsoft Office 2007 introduced new Open XML-based file formats for Office applications. These new file formats reduce file size, improve security and reliability, and enhance integration with external sources.
To allow Windows Mobile users to work with Office documents created in the Open XML formats, Microsoft has developed an upgrade for Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and PowerPoint Mobile applications. This upgrade to the Office Mobile applications allows viewing and editing of Word documents and Excel workbooks and viewing of PowerPoint slideshows created by using Microsoft Office 2007.
Other improvements include:
• Enhanced viewing experience for charts in Excel Mobile.
• Ability to view SmartArt in PowerPoint Mobile.
• Ability to view and extract files from compressed (.zip) folders.
Microsoft Office Mobile 6.1 Full Version to support Microsoft 2007 file formats
If your Windows Mobile device does not have a version of Microsoft Office Mobile prior to 6.1, you can purchase the full version of Microsoft Office Mobile.
The Office Mobile application suite includes Microsoft Office Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and Microsoft Office PowerPoint® Mobile for Windows Mobile 6 powered devices, helping users manage and review documents. Microsoft Office Mobile includes support for rich reviewing and minor editing capabilities as well as support for rights-managed documents.
The primary user scenario enabled by Office Mobile is viewing e-mail attachments, performing minor edits, sharing document versions, and opening documents from an SD card or a SharePoint server. Office Mobile provides a high-fidelity document viewing experience, with capability to edit as well as fast performance in loading the first page of the document.
Note: This free upgrade works only for Windows Mobile powered devices that have an earlier version of Office Mobile. If your Windows Mobile powered device does not have Office Mobile applications, this upgrade will not work for you. You can purchase the full version of Office Mobile 6.1 online. For more information, click here -Microsoft Office Mobile: Word, Excel and PowerPoint - Windows Mobile.

WM6 Only
If I read the MS website correctly this is for WM5 & WM6 based units, but Handango say full version is for WM6 Only
http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=1&platformId=2&N=96806&productId=216382&R=216382
Anyone with WM5 tried this?

Apparently this will only work on WM5 Pocket PC version and NOT the Smartphone version.
I wondered why MS was now selling Office Mobile - I guess this is so the older platform that doesn't support this upgrade can now spend some $$$ to do so?

Nope, it seems more like MS is offering it for the older platforms for free and yet charging money for it on WM6 Smartphone devices that did not ship with a version of office... WTF? This upgrade is very confusing and strange...

help? dictionary app?

can anyone help me? I've been looking for a dictionary app for the hd2 and haven't had any luck! ino there is tons for the iphone so just woundering if there is any for this, thanks.

I am using "Langenscheidt Dictionary for Windows Mobile".
But I guess it's only available in german...

Install Microsoft Reader and then download the free Encarta Pocket Dictionary. I have used it for ages with other Windows Mobile devices. Actually can read various books with pocket Microsoft Reader. Ed
Edit.... Not sure Microsoft Reader will work with 6.5.... It appears the available app is for wm 6.1 maybe you could try it for us and report back. Regards

There are lots of dictionary apps for windows mobile.
Have a look at following links :

http://www.hnhsoft.com/dictec
As a matter of fact I do think that there are lots of really good softs for windows mobile and they definitely can compete with Iphone ... and without the need to jailbreak or hack your own phone to be able to customize it a little bit !
But it is also a fact that it is more difficult to find the softs as there is no softaware catalog that could compete with the centralized AppStore : you have to search with google with a lots of keywords : Pocket PC, wm5, wm6, wm6.1, wm6.5, windows mobile and so on ...
<OFF TOPIC>
Yet the biggest enemy of Window Mobile in the ability to compete with Iphone is from my point of view ... Microsoft :
- With the aberrant conditions to entry MarketPlace for developers,
- And with their crappy windows phone 7 series that is maybe the biggest step backward in computer industry that I've ever seen,
they will totally kill Window Mobile and commit suicide to their mobile department !

Apart from "Encarta Pocket Dictionary" it is available the "Oxford English Dictionay" in .lit format for free some where in the net, and if you have a dictionary in .doc format (with hypertextual links) you can convert it to .lit format using the appropriate mirosoft word patch, all links will work in .lit too.

HTML5

Hello I've just joined. My question is a frustrating one. I have a Nokia Lumia 520 windows phone running Denim after the update. I've tried various browsers but I cannot access certain chat sites that state they support HTML5 for smartphones. I've noticed that most of these sites don't provide an app and are java based which isn't used on the windows phones. The nearest I get is a splash screen loading that's it. Is there any work around? Browsers used Internet Explorer, UC Browser, Opera Mini beta(unstable), Surfy. Thanks in advance.
