"Yahoo Go! is the first application optimized for the “small screen” of a mobile phone that truly makes it easy and fun to access the Internet. Everything about the Yahoo! Go interface is designed to be both visually stunning and give you what you want with the fewest clicks possible.
At its core is the carousel, used to navigate intuitively among the various Yahoo! Go widgets: your own personal channels for email, local info & maps, news, sports, finance, entertainment, weather, Flickr™ photos and search. Simply use the carousel to scroll over to the widget you want. Since Yahoo! Go uses advanced caching and background loading technology, your widget content is automatically and continuously “pushed” to your phone, so it’s always right there when you want it. You don’t need to endure lengthy downloads or navigate loads of links to get to what you want."
Granted, on Windows Mobile devices we've had the capacity for years to do a LOT of things that this app presents as "revolutionary", but what is rather impressive is the way they've integrated it all together. Check out the demo and you'll see.
At this time, they list a total of 77 Windows Mobile devices on which Go should work (though many have a small balloon stating "coming soon!"). Unfortunately the XV6600 is not one of the devices on which it will work. Sad
Live Search, Google Maps, and now Yahoo Go! - gotta love the choices and the competition it breeds! We the consumer end up being the winner!

I used to use it a while back and it was fine... some people complained about it taking over their hotmail inbox on their devices but i chose not to sync mail.
2.0 is still not released on pocket pc so till then i can't give you a good answer (its been a since i've used 1.0)

I used version 1 for a while - until it decided it didn't wanna work anymore that is. Good app. I like the Calender and Contact link. I'll try V2 once it's released for WM in April.

its not released for most wm devices yet.
like someone said before the first beta kinda sucked. it took over your ppc. it asked you to upload pics to yahoo every time you snapped a pic. then it always asked to connect instead of doing it quietly in the backround. on top of that it had no stand alone messenger (everything is about money with these guys) and lastly it had the worst memory leak. everytime i tried it out for more than 2 days i had to hard reset my wizard. it didnt even have html mail.
the concept was great but they never delievered a good product. i hope this gamma release fixes all the problems. and if they cheat us out of a messenger then im going to have to scrap it again.
i must admit though, i am looking forward to the gamma. im curious. btw, any leaks of it yet????

I agree. I tried it out and had to uninstall it within an hour. I found it very frustrating to use, slow to respond and devoid of any useful error messages.

Windows Mobile/PPC Shell's

Hi,
Been doing some research on Windows Mobile/PPC shells.
So far I have tried the following.

HTC Home with SPB Mobile shell HOME icons only. (only way i know how to get icons on my home screen was via spb..)
I mainly use this right now.
2.
I tried out ThrottleLauncher's TouchFlo3D
IT IS OKAY, not bad actaully. Still some issues. But not bad at all.
3.
Winterface, wow i really love this.
My major issue is, it has no today plug-in so I always find myself back at the windows today screen all the time.
Other lame issue is their SMS app and contact app and photo app, they could have integrated those standalone apps way better into a single product.
Overall vito's app suite looks promising.
Anyhow,
My question is what other mobile shells are there? Is there anything out there close to winterface but better? I really like it. Overall anymore finger friendly things? Post/link me to other apps. Please give me thoughts.... and ideas...

For iPhone interface look-a-like, iFonz.

and then there is spb mobile shell, which isn`t free + lots and lots of others.

thanks
Thank you for the suggestions.
I already use SPB Mobile. Paid for it and vito suite.
Anyhow keep suggestions/apps coming. Hopefully down road someone else will find this thread useful.

Any others?

WOW, that is not bad

found another

Not a bad thread, nice to have all the various options laid out.
As you have HTC's Home plugin for the Today screen included, you may also want to add Pocket Digital Clock (just a nice, lightweight clock) in combination with your launcher of choice such as UltimateLaunch or MortButtons.

yepp
That is the idea of this tread so one day some newbie can look at the work i already did for them. Also hoping others will contribute.

i cant remenber where does i saw it.

Oups
sorry repeated post

Im talking about shells not specfic app so much but thanks for the suggestion.

Becomes kind of blurred as most of the apps that are or are going to be listed are typically just a clock with an app launcher.

I was going to start a thread... regarding
"windows mobile finger friendly apps'
starting a list of applications like this...
but i found a website http://www.touch-innovation.com/
It does not list free ones... so anyone want to add on apps to this list free or paid? besides ones on the site.

Aviation Software (avitation weather/aviation calculator)?

Hi guys, I´m looking for some aviation software, espacially a weather program that shows METAR, TAF and SPECI weather reports of aerodromes by the ICAO location indicator codes.
Additionally I´m looking for an aviation calculator, some kinda E6B thing or so...
Concerning the weather thing it might be also easy for a skilled programmer to create a little app, because you can grap the necessary weather information easily by the web. There are certain sites like
weather.noaa.gov/weather/coded.html
or
de.allmetsat.com/metar-taf/index.html
and several others (via google)
that offer the needed weather information...
Regards,
insi

I want this too, plenty apps available for iphone...

Plz
Can someone plz make an apps for this service - I really need one.....

Is this something you would pay for/there is a market for?
Also where does this information come from? Can it be easily syndicated?
Let me know and I might be able to cook something up (though it may take a little while).

I would give $10,- for an aviation weather-app!

Google is your friend. Search for WXSYS That prog should do it.

Yes, it looks good.
However, after entering my e-mail address, I still can not send any query.
It does not work for me.

No problem on my HD2 with EDDF. It even gave me satellite images

there is definately a market for that ;-) And I would pay for this kinda app - I think I would pay up to 40 Euro for it.
I know wxsys very well but for german aerodromes, especially the smaller ones it is quite bad...
regards, insi

Hrm,
Ok, maybe I need to canvas an aviation forum to see what kind of response I get.
This is something I might be interested in developing but it might take a little while. I'll keep you posted.

Something similar to aeroweather on the iphone would be great.. Count me in and my $10!! flyingmarvo

Maybe you could have a look at SBSH PocketWeather. It includes METAR aso. Using it for quite a long time. Don't know if that's the right thing for you - maybe a beginning...

After migrating from an iPhone, i am desperately waiting for something along the lines of PilotWizz.
It was great for Calculations, and decodes the latest weather (TAFs and METARs) for easy and simple viewing.
TBH im fairly disappointed with whats on offer on WM in general....hope someone is able to sort something out!!!

I´ve been using the program that´s been said before with good results for Europe:

[REQ] Manilla Tab Messenger (ICQ, MSN, and so on) for TF3D

Hey guys,
like i already mentioned in "Windows Mobile Development and Hacking" Forum (link) im looking for a manilla instant messenger as a tab in TF3D. I really like this idea and i hope someone can develop it
The idea is shown in a 5min picture (well it just shows my idea, it shouldnt be used as theme ):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I also post it here because i actually want it in a HD2 Edition
::: EDIT :::
-There would be many ways to realise this idea. It could be one tab for all protocols (multi messenger) or it could be one tab a protocol like one icq tab, one msn tab ... so everyone can install just the one he wants.
-A history would be usefull to see what you were talking about with the last person
-file transfer support
-open weblinks
-copy paste
-click on a contact and the screen in the tab slides to a conversation mode
if you have ideas just post them and i add it to the list. maybe it helps someone who wants to program it

That's a fantastic idea mate. I'd love to have MSN on a Manila tab. I'm gonna bookmark this thread, but I'm not gonna hold my breath

very nice idea !!! hope someone is able to develope it. there is actually a manila tv cab, which is adding a new tab to tf3d.
i would pay some money for a prog like this.
sry for my english

wanna have icq! <3
would love it!

-avatars/userpics
-button for userinformations
-custom statustxt
-contacts statustxt on the bottom of the nickname
-including facebook, meinvz, studivz, schuelervz, skype
-sliding in conversationmode like icq for iphone (search youtube)
-customizable notificaton sounds/vibration
-smileys
-led indication/cameraflashlight(!!!) indication for new msg
-take a picture and send it to your contacts
-quickchange between open conversations in conversationmode
just some ideas

Icq would be very great =)

so would be gtalk and ymessenger

i want this!!
it will be very usefull on my hd2

Would love MSN here!

it would be lovely!

very good idea, lets hope some one takes it on
(I would be willing to donate to whoever does )

it's a very good idea^^ i would love it, too

same here
would appreciate it

nice idea !
+1

same here
would appreciate it

Would absolutely donate for this!

+1 !!!
Skype would be awesome, too!

not possible?

A great idea, i hope some will try to do it !!

This would be great, BUT, i don't think it is possible to create such a big messenger in pure LUA
I don't know if Manila can load dlls, IF not this would be impossible ...
I maybe also wrong ;D lets hope I am

[REQ] WM6.1 Today Screen Notifications Plug??

Does anyone know of a today screen plugin for Windows Mobile 6.1 similar to this? I just basically want to be able to see how many missed calls, texts, emails, and voicemails I have. I can't seem to find one, and I've spent a good amount of time searching already, and all that pops up are today screen replcements like TF3D/Sense, SBP Mobile, PointUI etc, and all I want is a basic today screen notification plugin that looks simple as the Titanium one. Any thougts? Any thoughts, contributions? Much appreciated from this fine community!

Why don't you just use the Titanium?

Dude this is a WM 6.1!! Titanium is added @ WM 6.5 and 6.5.X
Use a Resco Contact Manager:

You can configure rlToday to do that (and a bunch of other stuff), but it will take a little work.

Try Elecont Launcher

PhoneAlarm is one possibility. Does what you ask, looks the way you want it to and much more. The forum won't allow me to post a link to the site (I'm a noob) google Pocketmax and look at phoneAlarm.

Moved as not software release.

Looks great, but doesn't use the native applications for contacts, messages, etc. This was the closest to what I was looking for though.

True, but I'd rather stick with the built in plugins then, time doesn't permit for me to delv into that stuff really. Thanks for the suggestion though, might look into it when I have time.

And, sorry, didn't know that was for for software releases only. Thanks for moving it to the appropriate sections.
Anyways, all great suggestions for 6.1, it's kinda sad to see 6.1 development just die off because 6.5 is out, I'm sure there's still quite a few of us that prefer 6.1 to 6.5 in some ways.
EDIT: Found my answer, SPB PhoneSuite does exactly what I want. Paired with Traveler, it makes 6.1 a pretty enjoyable homescreen with the right theme. Wish someone would make an app for 6.1 to create themes.
