Just the native one, as provided by Mr. Fluffy
It is basic, I suppose, but at the end o th day I just need something that pulls stuff off the 'net - I mostly download podcasts to listen to later, that kinda thing.
Exactly the same as me, also monitoring some torrent trackers!
I just remembered about viigo. I had a BlackBerry Pearl and used to use that for downloading podcasts and different feeds from the net. Check it out, it's a good app, easy to use, pretty user friendly - and free
Cheers
i use upvise www.upvise.com
it is very fingerfriendly, you can manage it on pc or pocket pc and has a low need of transfer.
I use opera mini 5 and it has a pretty handy built in RSS reader.

Guys,
I'm looking for a decent 'Note Taking Program' and was wondering what you would recommend for the HD2?
What I need is something that I can drop into the favorites on the Home Tab.
Some of the Note Taking Programs don't appear to look 'finger friendly' so I suppose that would have to be the main criteria.
Thanks in advance.
I've been just using the inbuilt Notes app to draw/write my notes. Not perfect, but it gets me by for the time being. until someone creates a good touch based one.

Are you talking of the OneNote App?
Only trouble with OneNote for the Phone is it's not a 'finger-friendly' application (as in I can't find a way to draw directly on the screen).
Thanks..
I think he means notes
( think its in a folder called Outlook, otherwise /windows )

it's not that brilliant on the HD2, but you can get by with it.
I was going to suggest PhatPad, I mean c'mon what could *sound* any more finger friendly? but it's not that good

Yes... I agree with both Nighthawk and your good self. It's not that good of a program.
You can't really do any 'finger-writing' properly unless you have the zoom at max (which then hampers it's use as a quick note taking program).
Nice to have the audio recorder there though...... but ohh do I so wish there were something better.
Would to know one as well!!! Need to take notes!
Think this may be what you are looking for! Very simple, very small file size, very finger friendly and freeware plus it looks alot better on our HD2's than what it looks like on the authors web site! Cab attached.

You can get evernote for windows mobile. I'm just about to try it out.

I just saw this, might be of interest. Grabbing it now, I've attached the trial version.

If you want a cool drawing 'touch' app, this might just be it.
I am buying this right now.

Agree......Nice one Nighthawk.
I too have been searching for a much friendlier art tool. This could well be it.
I know we are going off-topic here (deserves it's own topic) but one thing I like is it's not cluttered, quite simplistic but very good at dynamic drawing.
The only thing I have noticed that needs addressing is when you role back any mistakes (unlimited Undo), any ink that was drawn on screen outside of the 'Undo' box is left on screen and you can't get rid of it.
Did you notice this too Nighthawk?
Edited:
I've just sent off a message to DynaInk Support explaining the above problem.

It is sort of strange. When I was using WM5, the OneNote can draw. In fact it defaults to draw. So everytime I need to switch mode to type text. Now in HD2, I can't find a way to draw anything.
PS: the version I currently have on WM5 is 12.0.4518.1010; the version that came with HD2 is 12.0.4518.1155. However, neither of them can draw! I am still trying to dig up where I got the draw-able OneNote on WM5.

in my post you were replying to.
But maybe I was mistaken. The drawing application I used was the Outlook Note program, which also exists on HD2. However, the line drawings are very ugly.
While trying to use EverNote again (last time I tried it on Windows), I notice the forum messages on EverNote for WM and decided I had better stay away from this software.

Hi, have you ever tried this page turning software? I have used so many free or paid softwares, but I find that 3D PageFlip Standard is the best one. Those freewares have something wrong during conversion.

Hey guys ! I was pretty frustrated about not having universal controls for my Chromecast and I made this. It's still under development but still very usable !
It's called RemoteCast and it's basically a remote/hub for your Chromecast(s). It works fairly well so far and I hope you guys will too !

I'll focus this week on stability so please let me know what doesn't work well for you. More improvements will come very soon too, stay tunes =)
Is there a link?

You sure have created the only app that after 5 seconds finds my CC every time. For whatever reason, youtube, netflix, the official CC app, and my computer can rarely if ever find the CC. You and google music have done the impossible.

That would be pretty nice ! My goal would be to extend Android sharing standard so you could potentially share any kind of content instead of inputing it manually
show links in a pop-up.
Basically, I have a number of EPUB files that I'd like to read. Most of them have links for footnotes etc. I would like to have a reader which can show the content of the link such as a footnote in a small pop-up window instead of going to the location. I have found it hard to navigate back to where I was the link is clicked.
Moon+ Reader on Android does this - for a reference.
Anyone know of a reader for Windows 8/ Surface RT that can do this?
Thanks!
I haven't seen much on the surface for this? Do you need it for WT epubs by chance?

"JW Bible Reader" is about the best thing going right now for epubs. And the developer is actively updating the app, and responding to suggestions. And it does have the popup footnotes.

Thanks for pointing this out. I tried that app a while back (when I got my first Surface) and it did not have many features.
I just opened it on my computer and realized that it has changed/improved drastically!
I really hope that JW Library gets fixed/updated soon to be on par with iOS and Android. Snap mode isn't working with it if it's small.

Agreed. I'd love to see JW library take advantage of the snapping feature.
I do like how you can look up scriptures from almost anywhere in the JW Bible Reader. I wish it would overlay the scripture instead of opening the NWT. That way, you could read the scripture and go back to whatever you were doing.
