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.

Samsung i900 Omnia Problems

A couple of questions for Samsung or Omnia users.
1. The keyboard, is it possible to default it to the windows mobile keyboard. The settings tab doesnt change it when selected.
2. Active sync doesnt seem to work with Outlook 2003 in Windows XP. My HTC devices all work like clockword with Active sync 4.5 but the Samsung hangs. There are plenty of complaints on this on the internet forums.
3. The softkey menus in programs, is there a way of using the default windows text size instead of the Samsung extra large fonts. Its slightly pointless having a big screen with bigger fonts.
4. Is it possible as with the HTC to set the x button on programs to end the program when tapped instead of running the program in the background.\
These may be aspects to consider by Samsung on a software upgrade, but if anyone can assist, this could make the device a great handset.

Does android o.s have decent apps in the pipeworks?

Hi
I'm split between getting the motorola milestone/droid which has a qwerty keyboard (which i badly want), and between the htc hd2 which has the windows apps which i badly need.
I am kind of stuck now between which one to choose for my new phone. So was wondering
1) is windows mobile 6.5 on htc hd2 backwards compatible with the software from windows ppc and other version of windows mobile? (mainly because the apps i want are stuff like rosetta stone on ppc, reflex mentor on windows mobile, lingvosoft on ppc etc which are old)
2) does android o.s have similar software either already or in the pipeworks from anyones knowledge (i know iphoen has a few of these apps or similar already btu no idea about android)?
3) how easy is it to hack android (i know i can test and trial out a lot of these apps before i buy on windows due to the great internet, but can you also do it to android and iphone)?
Thanks to anyone who can help clarify this,

guess no one knows

Hi, Android has over 20,000 apps and counting. It's also open source & has been hacked a pleanty

[Q] OS Question

Greetings All,
I am a newbie to any sort of forum and I wish to express my thanks in advance for your help.
I have been a WM (HTC Tilt WM 6.1) user for 4 years. Just recently I have been having issues with my phone and I need to purchase a new phone, but I totally confused on what to purchase.
My Tilt has the following programs installed, that I use on a daily basis:
Voice Command, Note2Self, SPB Wallet, SK Tools, Skype, Handy Shopper, in addition to the WM Office suite.
These are the programs that work well for me and I am comfortable with.
My question is this>
Can a widows 7 Phone do all the above or do I find a used WM 6.1 or 6.5 phone…will I like WM 6.5 better?
Or dare I say it…an Android?

Since your a windows mobile user and I'm guessing your most familiar with that os I suggest the touch pro 2 or the HD2. The touch pro 2 because it's a user friendly device, nice sized keyboard and purely reliable. The hd2 is also a nice pick it has a 4.3in screen an extremely fast processor and the touch is pretty sensitive/similar to the iPhone. You can go to htc.com to check the specs and see what you like best.
These are both 6.5 wm capable phones and the HD2 can flash wp7. I personally like winmo over android because of office suite but android is not bad either.

thanks for the info...what does "flash wp7" mean?

The HD2 has a very active dev community and one of the things they have accomplished is to port other operating systems to the device. So you have a choice now between keeping it on the stock WM6.5, or 'flashing' an alternative OS like WP7 or Android.
If you bought one yourself you would have the added bonus of being able to use the apps that you are familiar with.

Thanks for your thoughts.
What about the new HTC Inspire...any thoughts?

[Q] onenote mobile - tabs & sections?

Hi
I have recently bought HTC Touch Pro 2. Since I am a heavy OneNote user, I was very disappointed to see that OneNote in WM6.5 is very restricted - no tabs, sections etc.
I then upgraded to Office Mobile 2010, hoping that OneNote would have improved but there is nothing there.
Is this expected or am I missing something? I was hoping to organise all my information in sections and tabs, just as I do on the PC.
Thanks,
Saime
PS Ironically OneNote app for iPhone seems to be a lot better - I would have thought I would get the same functionality on Microsoft's own OS i.e. WM6.5!
