Microsoft money with WM 5?

Hi there,
I used to use money 2004 will my XDA2. It wont work on my Dopod 900. Anyone else seen this problem ?
thanks, phig

Money works in my WM5 (in Charmer)

Sounds promising. You using Money 2004 or Money 2005?
Thanks. philg

I think it is 2006. I can't remember, but I think I downloaded from microsoft themselves. I find it to be a pain to use it.. and I don't have the desktop version to sync with.

Thanks for that. I find it useful to use pocket money in tandem with desktop money. After following your link it appears that none of the versions of pocket money will work with WM5. Groan.

Thanks,

Office 2003 vs Office 2007

Can anyone point out the differences between Office 2K3 and Office 2K7 (besides the file format issue)?
Is migrating worth the hassle of updating a ROM?

Unless you use Office 2007 on your home PC, I really don't see the need to move to Mobile Office 2007. Sure, it has OneNote but PHM Notepad does about the same thing (well OneNote allows you to put pictures and/or sound in your notes, but I doubt I ever use that).
If you are cooking a rom, Office 2007 is significantly larger than Office 2003 so it takes up more space (even with it compressed with the Squeeze tool).
With that said, I'm putting Office 2007 in my new rom (or so far it looks like I am), but I don't know if I'd flash a new rom just for it.

Really its all about how many poeple use office 2007 at this point to waste the space, as office 2003 works ok on the PPC.!!!
I will not be going to the masses, i am sticking with 3003 in my rom! And if people dont like it well thats hard!!!

Thanks, guys. Based on your responses and other web chatter, I figure it's not worth it.

Guys, I use Office 2k7 in my desktop so I would like to have mobile office 2k7 in my device (the real 2k7)... Where can I find the cabs to install/upgrade my office mobile?

as far as i know, there aren't cabs to update.. you just have to update to a new rom.. but i may be wrong.

Vista SideShow for Windows Mobile - working good

I just discovered that there is a SideShow application for Windows Mobile. I installed it on my Vox and after some time (damn Toshiba Bluetooth Stack) I got it working just right. I used the Windows MediaPlayer remote and the PowerPoint remote and I like it a lot. You can browse your library from your phone and start and stop songs. For PowerPoint you can see the current and next slide. Pretty good, give it a try!

I already read about that and I'm looking forward to using it as soon as I get my phone

Thanks. Just had a play and it's pretty impressive. I've tried adding the panel to my Homescreen though (Gonzo's 6.1 for Vox) and have no idea how to do it. Time to read up I guess.

why i get ("Windows SideShow" is not a Windows CE valide application.)
Every steps are fine but i get that message when i click on windows sideshow on my home screen.
thanks for reply :
hehe i found it it's not working on Gonzo's ROM windows 6.0
Works great and directly on your's frauhottelmann
Thanx , man

windows sideshow.exe not digitally signed
I get an error that windows sideshow.exe is not digitally signed, what can i do to get it working?

Mh I think you have to execute it on your PC, it's a self-extracting archive!

I much prefer Salling Clicker. I've been using it for a few years on different devices, even non-smartphones since they have a version that is java based.

You should also look for the beta for Media Center. It's not perfect, but still a good remote. Although I am using my IR-remote most of the time. It slides into the express card slot

Magician WM4 Incompatiblity Issues

As Magician cant run WM5 or WM6. Almost all new Applications cannot run on Magician as they are not compatible with WM4. So any solutions to run the Applications on Magician? A patch or something that emulates WM5 API on WM4 and allows WM5/6 Applications to be Installed/Used. ?

yea! this way it good.
look this one
this gx.dll can use wm5 games on wm3

Here ya go WinMo lovers, a screen shot of the purported next generation Windows Mobile OS codenamed Crossbow, courtesy of MS Mobile News. Sure, it could just be a WinMo 5.0 theme for all we know but if this is the full Pocket PC homescreen above, then we can expect a glossier look, continued softkey support, and a smattering of oh so Vista icons when this, and the SmartPhone version are released in the first half of 2007. As we already heard from Microsoft, Crossbow will feature a new version of Office Communicator and "strong links with Office 2007 and Exchange 12." If all this still leaves you aching for the hotness of Photon, well, suck it up son 'cause that's not scheduled to hit until the first half of 2008.

I have nothing to say with this issue but maybe just a few threads that you may want to count on.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452501 for a list of magician today + other software.
http://www.pointui.com for a good screen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444414&page=8 for a good today replacement that gives you really Vanilla 2D and Diamond skins for your today (but in Chinese). I have translated a skin with iphone - just look into the forum with keyword iphone2.
Of course, if you are running magician you might want to consider the tx203 rom, which is the best rom for me - some reported buggy but I have been running it for 1 year on my o2 mini without any problem.

Windows Mobile Tablets??

Hello all,
With the flurry of Android and WinCE tablets that seem to have appeared, is it possible to install a WinMo image on these or is anyone working on a cheap tablet with WinMo installed?
Although the CE6 ones look ok it would be great to have a proper Office mobile installed rather than the Softmaker suite.
cheers

Try a smartq v5 or v7, no winmo, but it has android, ce, and some other form of linux and 1080p out. i know ownta.com has a Chinese ''tablet' with windows', but i don't know how reliable they are. honestly you're better off getting a real tablet PC with windows. you can get a hp tc1100 for cheap right now, and its a great tablet.

I saw about "Windows Tablets" news.
Microsoft announced the WP7 only used for cellphone,and windows tablets recommended for use windows 7.
Maybe ms consider windows mobile only a OS for smartphone...
"Chinese ''tablet' with windows'"is touchpad?It looks like a ipad...

As it sounds like WinMo maybe out of the question, can Cabs be installed/ported to CE6? Mainly trying to get Office mobile
