Microsoft Recite to be discontinued - General Topics

Well good old Microsoft has decided that Microsoft Recite isnt good enough for us. They have pulled the plug on the project.

to be honest, it wasn't good enough.

I t was interesting concept, but not fully developed. I had it installed for about two weeks, removed it and never missed it.
If it had done speech to searchable text, now that would have been a winner.

my bet is this is being killed as it will be superseded when TellMe launches. Im hoping that will launch on October 6 when WM6.5 supposedly goes official

Agreed.
Now there's an app I'm chomping at the bit for.

TellMe looks really promising..hope they dont axe it

Yeah, it's pretty sweet

But with everything it does, it looks like it should/could/would integrate into the next Bing update pretty easily.
[crosses fingers and hopes they release it for WM 6!]

That looks a little fake if you ask me?
Check this photo out in particular, full Office 2007 tabbed mode:

I know he says it was used only for a mock-up, but still... All seems a little amateurish?

Just what i thought too!
It looks more like something MS could do to quickly put up something against the iPhone, android when they have nothing tangible to show. The best way to retaliate immediately with the best of their capability right now is by making a fancy document!
Will be another vista story in the mobile space i guess....promise a lot and dont deliver much!
If they really had so much cooking, i doubt if HTC would have shifted loyalty towards google...if i was the ceo of htc, i would stick tight with MS! I guess, right now all these are just immediate plans an artist has put together to ensure they stay in the market space!
I'd love to be proved wrong ;o))
The fact is, I will continue to use only an MS based OS with or without the fancy stuff for its own not-needed-explain reasons!
Cheers,
San

I have an old app that works on WM 6.1 called SSEYO MiniMixa. It was made by Tao Group. The company has been sold to Intermorphic Ltd and they are reworking MiniMixa and re-branding it Mixtikl and you can find info about it here. I read in there blog that they are trying for an October release date.
Link to Mixtikl -> http://www.intermorphic.com/tools/mixtikl/index.html
Be sure and check out the screen shots.
Looks like it could blow the lid off Beat Maker. Guess we'll see.

Personally, I think this is the best audio/midi sequencer for the ppc.
PM me If you'd like lepsyfou. I have a special link to that software
Anything else out there that is more current? Mixtikl seems to be in Beta at the moment and the other programs are clearly on there last legs or lack a true VGA skin.
This seems to be where new Winmo devices should shine outside of the capacitive touch and screen size of the IP.. That Iphone is churning out some cool tools, but the hardware is approaching its limits where our phones have room to grow (tabbed programs, RAM, memory, storage)...
I'm gonna throw my 2 cents in for what it's worth...

Neither one of them are great, that's why I'm looking for something better. If you have anything let me know too! =)

TouchXperience UI

Very cool...
http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2010/02/11/video-of-touchxperience-a-new-ui-for-windows-mobile.html
Looks Awsome!!!
That interface looks fantastic. The only thing I wonder though is what are the ROM/RAM/battery overheads. I suspect it'll be a fair drain on at least 2 of the 3.
Still want to try it though.
Having said that, I've got my phone just about how I want it...give or take the odd little tweak here and there
Amazing
I can not wait to get this on my phone. It looks like it runs just fine on his HD2.
Stunning, Can't wait to try it. Lets hope its not too hard on the RAM. And can work well with Sense!
not again!!
Please Julien Schapman do not make promises, we followed him for 1 year and 6 monthe at dimond fourm and gess what Mr Julien stopeed his development, left the fourm, no replay, i believe he left XDA as well!! and all the people that donated at the time got emails over emails over emails about the lunch date and than he wanted to sell the programs to some company and he thought Not, Thats it.
I won't dream or think any of his great job will be out soon, maybe 10years time.
Mr Julien the game is over.
Thanks
Then, do not reply.
Where is the file to install..I'm interested in it
Looks nice.

let's hope you're wrong...
How come this TouchXperience UI often in "under development" phase during the past few years? I'm waiting for it in the past years and now have no more expectation. BTW, from this "latest" demo, it simply copied the concept from the others, like N1. Do you expect it will have other fantastic and innovative outcome?
It looks too good to be true.. What can I say- I only hope it's not some kind of spoiler...
i saw it but i still can't belive it. oustanding!
Well I've seen some WM7 demos and this looks at least like one too! I don't think this is TouchXperience UI rather then just WM7 but we will wait and see!
I've been in contact with the developer, and I can assure you that this is not Win7, nor is it fake.
As a fellow developer I can understand the time and effort needed for this kind of project, so if he doesn't provide us with a specific release-date, there are good reasons for it. Remember that he is doing this basically for free. Some betatesters have donated, but it's not something that pays the bills, so it has to be limited to his sparetime when not working.
Let's just play it nice, and hope he manages to finish this insanely nice-looking UI.
Let's also try to remember that he doesn't owe us anything. He does this because he wants to, not because he gets paid or was asked nicely..
I'd agree completely yngvebn,
unfortunately XDA lost one of its most valuable devs when schaps left, because he was hounded out by too many fools being very unpleasant towards him..
Unfortunately it's a situation that happens far too often.
I'm also keen to see how well this works, but I'm happy to wait and see when he's ready to release it

Looks very promising, hopefully won't have to wait too long for first release.
well with windows 7 phone coming "soon" :

http://gizmodo.com/5471805/windows-...feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+gizmodo/full+(Gizmodo)
the TouchExperience hopefully shouldnt take too long, or else will be forgotten even before its appeared. As it seems things like HTC Sense and UI costumizations wont be possible in WM7. For the demo i am almost more 'excited' with TouchXperience UI than with Windows 7 phone. But lets wait and see...
Schaps has done a huge amount for the community in the past so I will always have a lot of respect for him regardless.
I still have a Schaps ROM on my Hermes and I had a Schaps ROM on my Kaiser until he left the Kaiser forum for greener pastures (he got a new phone)...
If the TouchXperience is ever released it will definitely be worth a good look...

New Home Screen Alternatives

I checked the first 3 pages of the forums and didn't see this posted.
Here are some upcoming home replacements for Android. One name that should be familiar to us old WinMo users and a "newcomer."
http://www.tat.se/home/
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pre...gs-support-for-symbian-and-android-along.html
they both look pretty cool but I think tathome looks like it might be a little more to my liking.
SPB isnt out yet, is tathome available yet, i didnt see a download.
+1 for TAT home it looks like it could be NICE I checked out the video (good music and all ;-)) here: http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/tat-home-the-gesture-powered-3d-home-screen-your-android-device/
I used SPB Mobile Shell 3.x with my Touch Pro and I wasn't too impressed.
*** EDIT ***
Here is a video of Mobile Shell http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/mwc-video-spb-mobile-shell-50-on-android IMO Mobile Shell is suffering from what it always has LAG!!!!! Even on the N1 it looked slow, maybe because it's BETA.

Hrm, TatHome looks like what I envisioned Android 'should be' , I'm liking the look it quite a bit!! Next: to find out whether it really runs that smoothly on my Hero. 3d and graphics are great, but if it slows my phone down in the slightest its automatically going to get turned off.

cant imagine that it would slow it down anymore than sense but time will tell
muahaha, smooth as an iph*ne, and yet still kicking the pants off of it in terms of functionality = complete win for Android.
See, this is why Android is better, and why most everyone here bought an Android phone Since mostly everyone here probably signed up for that preview, the first person that gets the .apk for this, can you please post it up here incase they delay the preview to some people?

+1 on this but at the same time this is why some dont want to develop for android
Why would it make them not want to develop for it? Because some devices have different specs? I'm just curious.

Yes there are a lot of different spec'd Android phones out there but I think he is referencing the fact that Android apps are easier to "warez" than the apps on other OS's. All you have to do is sign up for the paid app extract the .apk post it somewhere. Also any dev can try to "reverse engineer" the app, change a few components and BAM it's on the Market as their "original" creation. Just my .2 cents

that is correct. when swype was first leaked I was actually talking to them about the bennifits of releasing it through the market instead of through manufacturers and one of the biggest concerns that was brought up was the fact that security for apps is too lax. now dont get me wrong everyone knows that for every security mesure there is always a way around it but android security just sucks thats why for the most part people afften have a free version and a donate version. if people can try it and like it then they are more likely to buy it rather than just pirate it. setcpu is a perfect example of this. sure the dev could have made it a protected app (but being a member here at xda he probably knew it was pointless) but he offers it free here and then if you like you can buy from the market to donate to help keep him developing.
so basically all im saying is...ok we all (me included) have pirated apps but if you like the app make sure to go buy it from the market and help keep these people developing for us.
I know I went off on a rant there but without intrest in app development this great platform will fail.
I might be the only here without pirated apps then haha. I did have CoPilot once, but I didn't like it much so I got rid of it. The only time I ever use something pirated is to try it. If I like it and feel the developer should get credit, then fine, I'll donate/buy it.

same here the only thing I am using pirated right now is swype but thats only becuase there is no way to buy it. but thats also because im a cheap ass and maily use free apps unless I really find something useful but to date the only things that I have bought are setcpu and beautiful widgets. im trying cachemate now but it really doesnt seem to be very helpful. I wish I knew a little more about programing there is an app for the iphone that I would love to have on my hero.
i played around with "pandahome" some yesterday. it seems beta right now but they are apparently coming out with pandahome2 soon. it's a good idea, just not quite finished yet. (fc's and whatnot)
anyway you might go check it out (if your feeling froggy).
lots of options and skins ect.ect.ect.
marketplace. free.

So...who got a Chrome Book?

I and some friends registered Tuesday but nothing came in today. Just curious if anyone here got one.
I am so surprised and happy that I got picked by Google to test out there new Chrome laptop. I came home and found it on my front door wating for me from UPS overnight air! Hope I get to keep it after the program is done!

Nope, its optional if you want them to collect data or no. good luck to you
i've signed up lets see if any luck here
I registered for one. We will see whether I will get it. It will be complementing my Galaxy Tab now.
I want one too. For anyone who cares, I have found this forum on slickdeals.net, it's pretty interesting, 137 pages so far...
And also a Google CR-48 Tracker to see if there is one coming to a town near you...
I just checked that tracker with my zip code. Two were heading to my town but both were already delivered
I signed up on Thursday so I guess I missed out on the first wave.
Maybe third time's the charm?

Let's hope. I have seriously applied so many times. At max, five separate times under my own name, once under my alias name, and my mother. Let's hope the tracker reflects something tomorrow for my area.
And I know this netbook may be cheap and the specs may suck, but look, I want one of these just to feel like I actually won something (that isn't the lottery) for once. I feel like I deserve it, truly. I could provide decent feedback, and maybe contribute a great way to their developing OS. Plus, I love Google. I love Android, I own a Nexus One, soon to own a Nexus S, and I think that this book would be a nice addition to my Google collection, not to mention, I bet there will be awesome ways to connect between your Android device and the book... I apologize for the rant.

I get what you mean. I NEVER win any contests or anything. I really hope I get this though, and the fact that two people in my zip code got one overnight is pretty reassuring!
I would love to own a Chromebook as I don't have a laptop/netbook/any kind of advanced portable device like a smartphone. It would be really great to have a laptop for classes (I'm in college) but I can't afford it right now so Google could really make my Christmas! Plus I never wanted a full-on slow, annoying Win 7 netbook anyway--it just didn't seem ideal. My ideal portable device is pretty much exactly what the Cr-48 is!
I have high hopes, but I know there's a pretty good chance I won't get it.
