Domain

Hi,
I see that Windows Mobile 6.1 (Smartphone) has the support for enrolling in a domain. I'm sure it will take Microsoft another year to get the Professional version running, and even longer for mobile networks to get it out to us, so I was wondering if anyone knows of any way to join a domain with a WM6 device?
I'm using an Artemis on O2.
Many Thanks

iPhone like Applications

Ok. I have been a Windows Mobile user since the original Cassiopeia (1998). I currently have the fuze and my wife has an iPhone. The iphone has a lot of cool apps that I would like to see on the Windows Mobile platform. However, i cannot find anything that come even close. I don't know if I am not looking well enough.
Some Apps:
Sportacular, iSports, MLB at bat on iPhone - For windows mobile we have GetSportz which is pretty rudimentary.
eBay on iphone - all we have for Windows mobile is the formatted web page?
iFareFinder, Flight tracker on iPhone - ? Windows mobile.
I am not an iPhone fanboy. I need Windows mobile, but where are all the cool apps?
I go to Fuze Mobility. they have cool links there
Looky here...

Growl client for windows mobile

Does anyone know if there is a Growl client for windows mobile? Tryed google but could not find anything. Iphone has prowl so we need one as well
Still no Growl client for WM? What a shame. But I guess as there is no official notification server like for the iphone, one has to be installed for this service to work, where the phone has to be "logged in".
I've got a webserver that has plenty of idle time and I am willing to test anything that would be necessary for this to work. I am also a web developer and can help with php and mysql programming. But I do not have any programming skills on windows mobile.

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

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.

RDP Client for single Application

Does anyone know a RDP application for Windows Mobile (5/6) which can be used to publish a single application from a terminal server on a mobile device?
My research with google did not lead to any result so far.
Thanks in advance.

Yup something like Citrix but hopefully not so expensive.

Do you know if this is possible so I mean using the app publishing of Windows 2008?
BTW Does anybody where to check whether the RDP Client is included in official Windows Mobile 6 ROM or not?
Regards
Not tried it, when I was running a 2008 test network at home I didn't have a WM device.
If you can wait 3 weeks when I'm back from holiday, I'll build a 2008 server and give it a test.
Doubt it will work though.
To my knowledge there's only the citrix client for mobiles which can do it, and I don't know much about that.
