Ok, does ne1 know nething on the subject, i want to get my universal setup as a side show device for windows vista, side show is a secondary display that basicly can display information easily and quickly, plus can be used for remote control features, wondering if ne1 knows nething about this
Hi Exec Man!
There was a thread on this just a short while ago, try searching (I will post a link if I run in to it)
One of the things suggested there was using LogMeIn.
Also I think an app called VNC.
n its not a vnc typ app or terminal services, this is sumthing different, these sideshow devices are gona be used as a second display on laptops and stuff, it will alow basic control of things like media player and display song and playlist info, and also display email and calander info without fully powering on the system, check out the vista website
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/features/foreveryone/sideshow.mspx
that is wat sideshow is, ther is even mention in the program on windows of using wm5 devices
thanks
I don't think there's any laptop in production that does that. Maybe after Vista goes gold some high end laptops may have that function
the laptop featured in the link is ready for release within the next 4-6 months
There is a laptop with sideshow made by asus, but itis not for sale yet
yep it is, neway is ther ne1 from the MS Team to verify this and/or give a release date of support for this feature of vista?
wm 5
WM5 devices already have most of the SideShow functions and more. One major part of sideshow is to display information from outlook. A SideShow device will alert you of new email and of upcomming appointments. WM5 devices already perform these operations.
ok, i have had my phone a long enough time and would not regard my self as a newbie, some one here must get what i mean, side show is new, please go to the link above and read what it says, also if you google it you will find alot more info, it will use gadgets like the side bar in vista and also ther will be common gadgets, 1 gadget that will interest me is the windows media one wher it shows the song and playlist info of whats playing on the computer and will allow you to control the player itself, does nebody get what i mean now?
you can do this easily with the winamp webserver plugin
http://code-magazine.com/Article.aspx?quickid=0512122
thats another link, shows some more and some concept art, hopefully explaines a bit better
Added sidwsow picture
I understan what u mean. I actually am looking for it to. It is says that it is comming to pda's and other mobile phones Was hoping someone here had some infor or even an app i could try

Hello,
I've read that i-mat will release a sideshow-renderer vor WM... perhaps it is already included in the i-mat wm6-roms...
Only some devices will support that in near future
Edit:
I-Mate currently develop sideshow capable driver for their upcoming phones
All we need for using Pocketpc/Smartphone as sideshow device first of all proper driver (hope that imate will made it soon) and connection with the vista pc usb/bluetooth(microsoft stack only)/WIFI
i mate ultimate range will all have sideshow built in, thing to do now is for someone to extract the nessecery files ad put them in a cab, wen they get ther hands on one of these devices, so is ther any word of this?
plus wm6 is the way to go now, but a version for wm5 would be good for those who havnt got wm6 on ther devices

Hardly surprising. It has nearly always been that electronics for sale in the US at USDxxx are sold in the UK at GBPxxx. Now with a 1.x exchange rate with EUR companies will do the same thing. There is nothing cheap at all in the UK imho.
Some people are just so clear cut on the topic. What is there to see about the page?

WM2005 on the Magician.
Only problem: this is NOT the Magician...
Cheers

INDEED
Yes NOW WM2005 EXISTS for the Magician, just a matter of time before Buzzdev, Pug or anybody from our cult WM2005 providers could port this or confirm this.
mstarkar: what makes you think this is the magician, other then the cosmetic appearance? There should be a fine for getting excited about this kind of stuff on this board...
oh look, Elvis has been re-released!

Oh please, just look at the nr of buttons & the features page, clearly not a prophet (lacks the wi-fi), not sure about the charmer though... I'm really convinced it's a re-styling of the magician... Could be wrong though (the page I mean )...
It said "Mobile MDA Compact II Graphite", MDA Compact 2 is a Charmer. I'm holding one now if you want more convincing. End of discussion
in case windows mobile 5 they were testing it on xda II ( whatver the code name is) and it was leaked and they got it on their device I'm hoping or praying rather that they are testing their next operating system `crossbow or photon' on htc magician and that would balance things out so much in the long run because I will be having the same handset till then also as not every now and then I can spend 800$ odd ( inr 34000) wm 2003se does most of the things anyway and with flexmail 2007 it pushes mail also .gprs i do voip with some sucess only thing i would be missing is going to be video call ( who am i kidding ). telcos in india are still laying the network , they are going to pay the licencing fees and 3g is going to expensive . till then the new buzzing device would be with the spec sheet like gprs, edge ,umts,hsdpa twin camera , 4gb memory tv out, gps , qwertyboard . Mid 2007 would be nice time to make choice . what Am i missing in magician anyway (just a little edge ha ! pun intended ). There is one thing about windows product cycle wheteher desktop OS there are so many updates and patches happening .it makes people waiting for new things or patches forever A recent study also showed that pda's which are supposed to increase the produtivity by having all the info at one place and pim's etc . people are more into finding about their current pda or new pdas and constantly new softwares and searching more about it . with so much time spending to find `about it' negates the time saved and gained productivity aspect of it ' .
Currently there's a freely available tool called remoteDSP.exe which allows you to not only see but also interact with your Pocket PC/Windows Mobile device via the PC's keyboard and mouse using a small display screen.
If this tool can translate mouse and keyboard input and send them via a USB connection to a paired Win Mob device it should be relatively painless to do a reverse version where the Win Mob device attaches to a pre-defined active window on the PC (Windows Media Player etc) and displays it on the mobile screen should it not?
I know the screen resolution will be drastically different but on a 320x240 mobile screen you can still effectively display Windows Movie Player at one quarter of the size of an 800x600 screen.
The only issue I can see is that the software on the phone would need to hook into a PID or a Process Name somehow.
Any ideas if there's already software to do this?
That functionality is built in by Terminal Services client and Remote Desktop.
And you can even do this over the internet with LogMeIn.
So you can specify a window to get just that window displayed on your PPC? logmein displays the entire screen, not a specified application.
As an example of the usage I'm looking for I'd like to be able to I have a monitoring program for a game and I'd like to have the game fullscreen on the PC but have teh monitoring program running in the background. The PPC would hook into the monitoring app and display it on the PPC.
For all remote viewing/controlling purposes I use VNC (in the "ultra" version) it has a lot of advantages over other solutions:
-multi platform: windows, windows mobile, palm, j2me, linux, bsd and a lot more
-free (and open source in some versions!)
-FAST!! (I tested a lot of different solutions for a company I temped at and nothing beats VNC)
If you have any questions about it I'd be happy to help.

Yes, of course you can do that with VNC.
VNC, logmein and terminal services are all good options. For local connections, there are some other apps, but I recommend these three to begin with.

I hope your screenshot is just an example vijay555. Using dreamweaver remotely must be a mayor pita. The only thing worse than that would be using Photoshop I guess
It is just an example screenshot, I generally use NVU/Notepad++

This is what you're after: http://www.innobec.com/en/index.php
It's SideWindow - it makes your cradled PPC into a second windows monitor so that you can extend your desktop to it.
From the product description this...

I just wish we 6.1 owners can get this update but that's not going to happen.
well greats...for РРС ed. screens will be?
Dated Sep 26, why wait this long to put the screenshots up ? I wonder.....
We may not get "official" upgrades but the kind folks around here will probably find some use for it.
Looks pretty cool!
I do believe that the odds for a free upgrade to 6.5 is possible. Just like 6.0 was upgraded to 6.1, so should 6.1 be upgraded to 6.5.
The only thing that would stop it would be if the device is too slow to handle the new version. But you shouldn't hope for a free upgrade to WM 7
Not to go off-topic but it is dispointing that we might need another upgrade just to get the new mobile IE 6.0.
Most people are of the opinion that these screen shots are fakes - due to the OSX icons being used.
Also, the 6.5 will probably be required for the new IE because of the HTML rendering engine also being used for Pocket Outlook, XML reading, etc.
I *believe* 6.5 should run fine on the current generation of HTC handsets... but WM7 is designed for the "next generation" of handsets - google nVidia's Tegra chipset to learn about this.

Well, that's a pretty good reason, isn't it?

Not only that, but the battery and signal strength indicators are transposed on the 2 shots, and it looks nothing like the preview screens of WM7 we've seen. Also, MS like screen layouts to have a logical progression, and that honeycomb layout is rather... chaotic.
It's a photoshop, and not the best on either.
Fake
Fakes for me too
And it's even more simple than that : since when Microsoft put the phone function of these devices in the first place ? Putting Microsoft Media Player in the center of the screen is more correct lol
But there is a lot of other reasons and the first one is : what a new version of Windows Mobile and the first roms are not on XDA ? Impossible, XDA is the best !
I'm making a WAD2 theme based off the second screenshot... it should be done this weekend. (or at least a beta version).
Hi, I have the pro for last one and a half months and use it extensively for emailing and ms office attachments. To my shock I discovered this thing can not edit Power Point slides while a simple updation of quick office in my E-51 did!!. I am not a hard core software professional as most of you on this forum might be but found it strange that such an expensive win mo device can only view PPT slides!!.Have tried the manual and HTC sites. Here in India where I am from all we get is goody goody good for nothing e-mail replies from HTC. Topping it all even the software supplied with the phone viz the spb gprs monitor and sprite back up did not load on the device citing ROM version not up to the mark(Rom Version 1.95.720.2 WWE: ROM date 21st Oct 2008: Radio Version 1.02.25.28: Protocol Version 52.33.25.17G)....any way I went ahead and purchased the compatiable version online from spb which although does not have the same format....which I am aware as I also won a diamond... but is more functional...that is another story... however my request here is can anyone help me to dowload any software that will enable this device to edit PPT? That will actually complete my pro. Thanks!!
I do not believe that there is a "upgraded version" of ppt.
Can't comment on that my freind however wud be great if this device can edit PPT slides.
I feel the same way.
The Touch Pro was only ever advertised as being able to VIEW powerpoint slides, no-one ever said it had the capability to edit them.
In all honesty, you would find such a tool incredibly frustrating to use on such a small screen anyway.
The current version of mobile office definitely doesn't support powerpoint file editing.
I am not aware of any powerpoint editor for the Touch Pro either.
Sorry!
Hello,
you cant edit ppt files with winmos built in office. we can be glad that there is
a ppt viewer in winmo at all (since windows mobile 2005, shame to ms!).
if you want to edit ppt you will have to buy clearvue office from westtek.
but its very painful to edit ppt on a device with such a small display.
if I were you I would edit your ppts on a desktop and copy them to your device.
the touch pro is very nice for viewing, especially with the tv out function.
You can edit PowerPoint files with SoftMaker Office

But as mentioned in previous posts, I think it will be difficult to work on a small display.
Many Thanks My unseen freinds. The westtek software is great. All said and done may be it is this flexibility of WinMo that keeps it going inspite of sluggish interface. Hope versions 6.5 and 7 will take care or else symbian is catching fast... Thanks again
Anyone who knows about a blog program for Leo? I used iPhone before, and had a genius blog program innstalled. But I cant seem to find anything for WM 6.5/Leo.
Any ideas? Thanks for looking/helping
I would like to announce that I am a new proud owner if the HD2.
secOndly I would also like to know of blogging software as I hve a blog at http://blog.levifreeman.com
That is because on iPhone there is an app for just about anything and for windows mobile nothing, i too made the mistake and switched from an iPhone 3GS to an HD2 and regret the day i did it. On iPhone i had all kind of great apps, games etc and now i cant find anything equivalent for windows mobile. The marketplace is a joke. I am searching for a week now for a good financial program with nice and touch friendly interface and i cant find anything. If you look on the appstore for such a program you can find hundreds of them. I will definitely switch back to iPhone, but the only thing i regret is that HD2 is such a marvelous device and is let down by windows mobile.
I agree and not agree with you savvase. I love my iPhone and the apps on it, but I think its to earli to get so hard against HD2 and windows mobile. I only use mac, and until now have I had iPhone, since 1 gen. (upgraded to 2gen and 3GS) When the 1 gen iPhone came, the app store didnt look like it do now today. It didnt take long time before the programs came, but I think we should give W marketplace a chance to build up. Even if iPhone is big on the mobile market, its many WM users also. I dont says it will turn into a big sucess, and it will overcome the iPhone. If the "wanna knowers" are correct, the WM 7.0 will release next year. Who knows? It might be a big surprice for us?
I miss a lot of the apps on my iPhone (the reason to this thread ) but I think I will manage without a lot of them, while I give the HD2 a chance. For me the HD2 has so much other goodies, that I will keep it for a while and test But ! I will also keep my iPhone in backup
If my english is broken or bad, I'm very sorry. Its not my national language
But ! Is there anyone with a solution to my problem?
Unfortunately i don't think you can find such an app on windows mobile and if one arrives it will definitely not have the same functionality and user interface as the ones on iPhone but since you kept your iPhone you can continue updating your blog from your iPhone.
Thats true !
But until it shows up something, I belive...
And ! keeping my iPhone for blogging...

There are also tons of financial apps for Windows Mobile. But unlike on iPhone, you have to search for them on the internet yourself. The marketplace for WM just started and you shouldn't expect to find the same amount of apps as you do in AppStore.
I think both platforms have their advantages and disadvantages.
If you use iPhone you can download anything from AppStore real quick. But on the other hand you are limited to AppStore, unless you "hack" your iPhone.
On Windows Mobile you don't have such a nice AppStore (not yet, might come, who knows ), but you're also not limited to it. You can download and install anything you find from any source you like and from any developer you can find. That's also nice.
And with more and more "touchable" Smartphones based on WM, you'll also find more and more fingerfriendly apps.
You must see, that the iPhone is only one kind of device, which developers create apps for. WM is found on tons of different devices, each with different ways for data input. Some have touch-abilitys, some don't.
It's quite the same thing as the comparison of Macs and PCs.
What about MobiBlogr - not sure if its compatible with HD2 but its here: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-mobiblogr-v1-3-3.html
Thanks jengla, I will have a look at that.
I used Blogpress on iPhone, and I hoped for a similiar app for WM. I have tried three blog programs for WM now, and two dosent work propably, and the last one, is to simple.
