I just issued 10 FREE Mobile Media Center Pro licences for 20 March 2007
Detailed info of this product is following:

Since you are using the forum to promote your business (related as it may be) I hope you are ready for some criticism.
Your survey doesn't cover this so I'll post it here.
1) How secure is this application? You open up access to peoples PCs over the internet and I assume you use login + password (not just the URL) but do you encrypt traffic etc? I found no mention of this on your site.
2) 30 euro is a pretty steep price for an app that does about half of what other free solutions offer in this filed. Take LogMeIn for example - it gives you full control or Orb for video streaming.
3) Continuing the previous it seems that your app only allows delivery of content but not actually managing it on the PC or uploading it back to PC.
(or did I miss something)
All in all I have to say its not a bad idea but 'undercooked' and over priced in my opinion.
Best of luck with your buisness anyway.
Levenum,
Thanks for your response. We are open for all criticism, it is exactly the purpose of this survey (and not the implied promotion, which is nice ).
In response to your questions:
1. If so desired you can use a login & password combination. Your login name is related to your IMEI number. You can set up a four digit pin code as password. We do not send out the URLs to other people. If you would like to share your files we send out copies by email.
All traffic is secured.
2. We take your advice into consideration.
3. We are working on a new website which provides visitors with more information. Just one question. What do you exactly mean by 'managing it on the PC'? Delete, move, print and more of these options or something else altogether?
Yes, moving / deleting / renaming files and generally organizing your media on the PC by remote is what I meant.
Also lets say I just recorded a video clip or taken a picture with my phones camera, can I use your app to upload it to my PC? (This would be useful for people traveling as they can not sync the device and might run out of storage space)

Hi, Levenum
Mobile Media Center currently does not support uploading files from mobile devices, I think we will come up a solution very soon.

It sounds like a nice offer, but why they are asking for my phone serial number? somehow I really don't feel safe to give the number away.
IMEI Number is used for issuing licenses, meaning, this software can be legally used on your mobile phone.
24access, it would be nice if you can give the technical details on how this works. From what I've read, it seems that you install a software onto the PC, which act as a 'backdoor'/server which gives you/MMC access to the file contents. So, it seems like
"My PC" ---> "MMC Center" ---> "My phone"
As what I can see, there are 2 possible 'holes'. One is at "My PC", which some one may able to have the MMC-software-installed-on-MyPC security compromised. And, another one would be at your "MMC Center" which seems to be collecting files from all over the place, and possibly be compromised credit card center?
I would understand that it is in user's convenience NOT to have software installed on their phone. However, it is also in user's consideration on the possibility that this "MMC Center" may have access to all their file contents. And at the final end of the process, since there are no software required on the phone, what sort of secure line are you using? SSL via HTTPS?
ANYWAY, sorry for being a bored. It's a job thing, as being a computer science guy, we have these natural ability to find things which most users won't probably even consider (e.g. the unsecure emails people use everyday).
And yes, people won't be very happy giving out their IMEI number. You might want to try another method.

they say it's free, atleast for the beta on there site...fingers crossed, looks awesome
Daaaamn..... I am living at Finland... any way to get that cab file for testing?
It looks quite nice...
We shall see, once they open the beta.

Quoted from the website:
Sign Up Today
* If you have a Windows Mobile phone, sign up today and we will notify you when the Skyfire private beta starts.
* If you do not have a Windows Mobile phone or you live outside the United States, please sign up so we can promptly notify you when Skyfire is available for your type of mobile phone.
And if you try to sign up for the non-US notification - you can't as the US mobile number field is mandatory... unless your US mobile number (like mine) happens to be 1111 111 111

Why, Unwired, your number is very similar to mine!!
I have a feeling with them saying 'Mobile Phone' that this is going to be a Java based WAP app but we shall see.
I'll say one thing, if the browser is as slow as their website then its a loser to start with!!
( I just worry about sites promising something to you later that want loads of details, my SPAMer list sense (similar to Spider sense but not as refined) starts to burn...)
It says that the first application is for PocketPC/Smartphone with keyboards. They aslo blatantly show a Kaiser variant on the site (front camera version).
I promptly signed up for the beta, maybe this can be as good as Safari for the iPhone.
Anyway, I'll keep you posted if I get any response.

looks super. also surprised at how superfast it was then the guy showed he was on a cellphone data connection (evdo). while the demo was going on I was assuming that he was on a fast wifi connection. Def. super duper cool!
Had to be pre-cached pages. But impressive none-the-less.
Yeah, I'm concerned about privacy. I still hear not to bank with Opera Mini, so I can't imagine how one could trust a company they've never heard of. Sounds too iffy. But, for all other browsing needs, this seems like the best match for mobile phones. What if there were a way to make your home PC cache the sites for you, so you would know/trust the origin of the cache?
nice but check this:

Do U really want this? Im pissed that sec.cams are on every corner. And after a time when they find out what are U looking for on inet (ie. pda4x, ppcwarez, torrentz....) u have police knocking on Ur doors(or email box full of add. and scam emails). Nice, but not safe.

Told you my SPAMer sense was burning!!! Well spotted....
Totally agreed that we should all be scared. AT&T is also talking about full-time monitoring of all users on their network. Lovely for us Tilt (branded) users. Not only a serious privacy concern, but how slow will the network have to run to allow constant monitoring? I love my country, but I fear my government.
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Franklin
While that privacy notice does concern me a bit, I'm not a business user, and I don't make purchases or give any sort of confidential information out via web on my phone.
so just to clairify... the beta has not been realsed yet? even though that video was realeased? and yeah the privacy stuff sucks but i dont do much viewing that i would care if any one saw so ill be ok with it. as long as it dosnt slow the network down to much
GUI seemed nice and snappy on the sprint.
I've signed up.

hello xda-dev community!
first of all... this is the one of the most amazing communities i have ever seen! this site and its members helped solving a lot of my problems and improved my mobile experience. thx!
as a business administration student in german i am actually writing my thesis about community based innovations
i asked my prof if i can bring in a practical example on how innovations and product improvements were created by community members and i want to use the xda community as a "real life example" how to generate product innovations for needs of consumers which were not recognized by manufacturers in a "co-creative innovation process"... means that i really would like get your ideas on this subject!
Subject: Transmitting your GPS-coordinates via SMS - to contacts & added functions like displaying your location and creating routes on maps
there is no "commercial" software solution for this... please correct me if im wrong.
please let me know ur ideas and questions...
also there is no phone that (by default) can send your GPS coordinates as sms combined with more useful information like showing your location and the given location on the map and creating routes, showing the distance in km/miles... please add more functions YOU are missing. all im writing is just theory and i dont know if it all options are possible...
i can think of options like
- sending the coordinates in certain periods e.g every 5/20/40... minutes. interesting for hikers and let people know where you are...in case of accidents.
- this "product" can be interesting for parents.
- could this solution "imitate" navigation with static maps without standard navigation software. is there a way of synchronizing to "locations" so that each party is updated in intervals ?
- ... ?
these are the current GPS apps for reading / sending coordinates:
- LocationSMS presented @ xda by user AX3L ...works and is very simply... but just sending coordinates nothing else.
- GPS Tracking - CodeProject
...havent tested yet...sounds good!
- GPSbySMS - looks good but created an error during install. but the description says that it can display the location on maps
examples of use - add more if u like
a) you are new in town and want to meet up with a friend... but at least one of you doesnt know the place. both use a gps phone (a-gps/gps) but havent installed any navigation software like tomtom.
b) your friends already met and you are too late... they call you and try to describe their location by telling you street names / places that none of you know...
c) your wife/son/daughter is out and wants you to pick him/her up...
d) you go hiking and want to send your location as a precaution...
e) forwarding several locations to groups...
Do you think this would be interesting for YOU ?! Have you ever looked for such a function ?
EDIT: of course i need some basic facts about the community itself e.g. founders, vision, dates, members (admins, mods, senior members ?...), # threads, # of downloads .... who are the xda-dev "founders" ?
...i guess it was too much...
where are the GPS experts?
first off, good luck with your study.
secondly, i am not really sure what kind of feed back you want. i like the idea, but google has the latitude function that does something similar to what you are doing.
finally, especially in the case of a hiker, power consumption can be an issue, where a hiker would prefer to keep power to make an emergency phone call rather than continuously running the gps and eating power that will be needed later if an accident happens.
i hope what i said was something you were looking for, once more good luck
thanks a lot!
mainly i want to get ur ideas on this function to see if is useful for the majority of mobile users who have GPS but use it just for "classic" navigation...
i havent checked google latitude? is it a WM application or just a google service?
hiking is just one example... the emergency call doesnt tell authorities your exact location... means they have to locate your mobile.
is there a gps forum @ xda where i can get more feedback about this? hoped that more people would be interested in this function =(
Where can i get background infos on the xda site itself? see the edit above (in red)

google maps latitude is for windows mobile. another application that does location sharing is mologogo, i have used it, and it is very good.
in the hiking situation, i was just saying that continuously sharing your location might drain the battery, and if an emergency situation happens, you won't have a phone to call for help.
there is no dedicated GPS forum in xda, each device has its own forum, and there gps issues specific to the device are discussed. the development and hacking forum has many general gps programs.
here is some info on xda-devs, from wikipedia, i don't know about other sources:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xda-developers
the main page has some info as well:
http://www.xda-developers.com/
Great initiative.
I´ve been looking into this for quite some time. Two or three apps you would like to add to the list is:
- LocateMe http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/...-third-party-with-windows-mobile-gps-devices/
(is a trialware, 10 US bucks for a nag free license)
- RunGPS.net
More than just a send gps by sms but still usable.
- Trackme
Not as easy to use as locateme but with really nice options: http://luisespinosa.com/trackme_eng.html
It seems that the community is not so keen to develop such a tool.
I am looking for long time for a tool to send GPS-Position via SMS. I tried GPS Tracker by Phonekai and GPS Location and investigated some others. Unfortunatelly every tool is missing some essential features.
The first feature is the format of the position data. I would like to choose the position format. E.g. GPS Location uses strictly dd,dddd. I would like to use the well known geocaching format dd mm,mmm.
Further it is important to have a link to navigation software on the ppc. There should be a parser to search incoming SMS for geocoordinates and automatically convert to waypoints in OziExplorer (.wpt) or TomTom POI (.ov2) and to show these on the map.
Can someone recommend a GPS-exchange software via SMS with Ozi and/or TomTom interface ???
Regards,
Oli

nothing useful in all the apps we posted ? have u tried GLOPUS ?
Hey guys,
Wanted to show you a application i have been developing for the last few months.
Do you ever sit in a endless phone tree wondering if you'll ever get to talk to a human?
Dialfaster gives you the information you need to bypass phone trees.
Two applications exist on the marketplace UK and US Versions.
In the UK we have 700 phone numbers plus dialing shortcuts.
In the US we have 500 phone numbers plus dialing shortcuts.
Features Include:
Save phone numbers you use regularly as a favourite.
Call-Log logs all your calls made to companies, so you can keep a record of contacting them.
Quickly search through all companies to find the one you need.
Updates regularly, so you always have the most recent dialfaster database.
View more info at dialfaster.com/app/
Sorry but i am still unable to post links
Just search for "dialfaster" in the marketplace
I am guessing since the list comes from a thirdparty, it would be futile to ask for a Belgian version?
I could really use this for work =P
Hey,
Thanks for your reply, this info doesn't come from a 3rd party, I have been working on the database for about a year now.
We have a website as-well @ dialfaster.com which does the same thing but is desktop.
The information for the UK has taken me along time to build up, calling companies throughout the day, and trying to work out the quickest way to reach a human.
Sorry but at present, we don't offer a Belgian version, currently working on iPhone, and moving over to other countries, so we might be doing European countries some time in the near future, but thanks for your interest.

Alright, Thanks for your reply.
I will point people I know online to that app.
In IT and most other Office work its a big hassle to go through the IVR menus all the time.
VoIP Phone System is one of the most widely used Avaya phone by most businesses to be able to contact people and businesses from different sides of the world in the most economical way. And since this phone system runs through the Internet, you don’t need any phone cable lines to get this working.
Hello.,
does anybody know if there is a program for the android similar to teh phone creeper for wm6.5
the phone creeper allow easthdropping on phones, phone calls phone locating and so many other features as posted here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527423
so ......
does this mean, nobody knows or there is no such software?
Im wondering the same thing
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
What does "easthdropping" mean?
By the way the MIUI Phone.apk is able to geo-localize the calls, even if it works in China only (AFAIK)
I'm the developer for the phone creeper and will be launching the android version very soon, however it will be very different. The problem with and hurdle for creating the same functionality on android devices is that (at least that i'm aware) there is no way to completely hide an SMS message from phones. You can instantly read it and delete it as with windows mobile, however there will still be an sms arrived alert in the status bar.
To get around this hurdle i've created a website with a database and webpage front end that will allow for all communications to happen with a combo of SQL and Android Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM). This will allow for a small footprint quick silent communications. However this also means I need to support a website and database.
This basically adds a large level of complexity and creates various pluses and minuses for everybody. The program will still be free as it has always been, however some of the features and those who want to have viewing and controlling capabilities through the web will be charged a slim fee.
The program will still be completely functional and useful without paying a dime but hopefully enough people will want the extra goodies to pay for the web hosting.
As I said it's mostly complete now and hopefully I'll have a release published here shortly and allow for free web viewing trial also.

That would be wonderful, I usually only create desktop and mobile applications. I don't have that great of an artistic eye and have rarely created any web sites. Currently I'm also using PHP for the website and will probably have to switch from godaddy hosting since they seem VERY slow at hosting any web pages containing scripts.
Maybe you can help me figure out why the logo seems to get cut off in IE6 (looks fine in other browsers.) it appears that displaying the bars are cutting it off since if I disable them it looks fine.
The link is xxxxxx Mod Edit: Link removed.
Whow, talking about privacy and espionage here
In general, Software like this is greatly coded, and requires alot of skill.
But on the other hand, if you use this App to watch / control somebody elses phone, is really awkward... I would be scared to know that a program like this exists and could be activated silently on my phone...
Just my 2 cents, but respect to the one who is able to program such a tool!
how about totalcare?

totalcare is a nice project, but the main differences are:
OverVi3w can be controlled via a webpage or sms.
Overvi3w has many more features
Overvi3w is actually stealthy, unless something is different about totalcare since last time i'd seen it. The message may be instantly deleted, however when you look at the sms history it would still show that it arrived even if you couldn't open it. although you still could see the command and from who is sent.
Overvi3w allows the phone to be controlled from ANY other phone or from the web console. It still uses a password for protection during sms control and to use the web interface it requires the imei (gsm phones) or meid (cdma phones) for extra security.
Anyway, I should be accepting alpha users later this week.
wow it's already have a name. OverVi3w. can't wait. total care just doesn't work on both my phone (gingerbread and froyo).
your phone creeper really great. works even after flashing new rom.
