Hi Guys,
This is just a heads up. According to msmobiles, windows mobile 6.5 is out there.

World Exclusive: Windows Mobile 6.5 in pictures ...
While the arrival of Windows Mobile 6.5 for the year 2009 was announced here and there, then confirmed by Steve Balmer himself at the PDC 2008, Smartphone France is very pleased to present exclusive World 2 first screenshots of what should be Windows Mobile 6.5.
If for the moment there is no real information on the new version of Windows Mobile, what is happening is that Microsoft has finally decided to redesign the interface of the aging systems to try to catch up with his lags behind its competitors.
At visual we can see that Windows Mobile 6.5 is very close to what should be Windows Mobile 7. Does it mean that Microsoft has decided to completely revise their copy as regards WM7 and we propose intermediate version which should be initially WM7? In all what whatever happens in a case closely monitor ... although it will take many months before seeing a new version of Windows Mobile on the market.
MOD Edit: Revised thread title to avoid confusion.
Information about the OS has been released, the OS has not.
Ok. I have been a Windows Mobile user since the original Cassiopeia (1998). I currently have the fuze and my wife has an iPhone. The iphone has a lot of cool apps that I would like to see on the Windows Mobile platform. However, i cannot find anything that come even close. I don't know if I am not looking well enough.
Some Apps:
Sportacular, iSports, MLB at bat on iPhone - For windows mobile we have GetSportz which is pretty rudimentary.
eBay on iphone - all we have for Windows mobile is the formatted web page?
iFareFinder, Flight tracker on iPhone - ? Windows mobile.
I am not an iPhone fanboy. I need Windows mobile, but where are all the cool apps?
I go to Fuze Mobility. they have cool links there
Looky here...

soon to come with the windows app store if all goes well..
you can also try blownfuze.org great site with explanations
Found this great app for iphone. Does anybody know if there were some programs for windows mobile that can do the same. If not it would be a good idea that someone make one program that can do the same for wm or android.
Moved as not software release.
Out now for Android!
can anyone help me? I've been looking for a dictionary app for the hd2 and haven't had any luck! ino there is tons for the iphone so just woundering if there is any for this, thanks.
I am using "Langenscheidt Dictionary for Windows Mobile".
But I guess it's only available in german...
Install Microsoft Reader and then download the free Encarta Pocket Dictionary. I have used it for ages with other Windows Mobile devices. Actually can read various books with pocket Microsoft Reader. Ed
Edit.... Not sure Microsoft Reader will work with 6.5.... It appears the available app is for wm 6.1 maybe you could try it for us and report back. Regards
There are lots of dictionary apps for windows mobile.
Have a look at following links :

As a matter of fact I do think that there are lots of really good softs for windows mobile and they definitely can compete with Iphone ... and without the need to jailbreak or hack your own phone to be able to customize it a little bit !
But it is also a fact that it is more difficult to find the softs as there is no softaware catalog that could compete with the centralized AppStore : you have to search with google with a lots of keywords : Pocket PC, wm5, wm6, wm6.1, wm6.5, windows mobile and so on ...
<OFF TOPIC>
Yet the biggest enemy of Window Mobile in the ability to compete with Iphone is from my point of view ... Microsoft :
- With the aberrant conditions to entry MarketPlace for developers,
- And with their crappy windows phone 7 series that is maybe the biggest step backward in computer industry that I've ever seen,
they will totally kill Window Mobile and commit suicide to their mobile department !

Cheers,
Nibbler

Apart from "Encarta Pocket Dictionary" it is available the "Oxford English Dictionay" in .lit format for free some where in the net, and if you have a dictionary in .doc format (with hypertextual links) you can convert it to .lit format using the appropriate mirosoft word patch, all links will work in .lit too.
I've been using Pocket Informant (in my opinion the best PIM software never made for mobile devices) for ages
And this week end , moving apps from the official ROM to the last fxdjacentyfxd ROM, I visited the Pocket Informant web to see if it was a new release....and I've found a note saying that they have stopped development for Windows devices (even Windows 7!!):

As you may be aware, Alex recently announced end-of-life for Windows Mobile products. You can download them (and "buy them" at no charge from Mobihand), but here are keys you can use for PI and Journal Sync:
Pocket Informant 9 - Windows Mobile PPC (touchscreen) - Y3QAT-8A8QY-MMYU3-YUY2G-CMWSA
Pocket Informant 9 - Windows Mobile Smart Phone (no touchscreen) - AGKCD-A22CU-EQ6C5-AQWSG-S3Q8A
Journal Sync - 02-R10371866-298
Download links:

Journal Sync: http://download.pock...or_PI_Setup.exe
Thanks,

after that I've found a thread here:

It's a pity, and it's just another fact that proves that WM users we are a kind of "Jurassic Parc" of the mobile devices, far away from Iphones and Androids
The only good new is that you can install this app from the oficcial page for free. Test it! it's agreat program to organize your professional and leisure life (and now for free, that has been a " beau geste" from the owner, WEBis, to all the WM users for all these years toguether)
I don`t know I should be happy or I should cry.

SBSH Calendar (non-touch) never fixed for WM6.5
@Pere
Since everyone has stopped developing for WM Standard (non-touch), we are some kind of Jurassic Park, right.
I am a SBSH Calendar (Papyrus, non-touch) fan - but they never fixed the Calendar to work with WM6.5!
It's a shame but understandable.

Giving PI9 away for free is a nice way to say goodbye!
