Portable Media Center PMC interface for PPC?

does anyone know if a interface like the PMC interface exists for the pocket pc device? i reckon someone could hack or mock the interface on a new media player but its damn impressive if there was one.
heres a video of it in action:

it anoys me why microsoft doesnt release this for the ppc. some of us like to listen to our music n videos on our devices too..
the new ZUne device will have this same interface. albeit probably upgraded. imagine if we could have that n transfer our songs via bluetooth/wifi before the zune even comes out haha.

The O2 atom has something fairly similar to that, it's called O2 media plus. Details here. http://www.seeo2.com/product/XdaAtom/template/XdaAtomApplications.vm/n/exclusive
I use it daily and while it is basic enough, it does the job.

cool. can you send that over this way? ftp or megaupload? thnx
whats taht diagnostic thing? if u could upload too that'd be great.

Erm, I'm a newbie around here. How does one do that exactly?

Exactly as it says It runs a whole load of diagnostics on the various bits and bobs on the Atom. I doubt it very much that this would work on non-Atom hardware.

It may not be that easy to port these software to non-Atom unit. As it has been done for O2 Plus and SMS Plus, some sort of hacking are required such that these software can be installed into non-Atom units. Further, as I've noticed on the media-center-interface thing, it has the radio option there, of which a lot of the phones here do not have, of which the interface program may go wanky.
Anyway, it is still feasible, just don't put your hope too high

I'd realy lova a Media Center kind of app...
anything similair on the web somewhere?
couldn't google it.

I second that. I've been looking everywhere. But I can't find anything that intuitive. Has anyone found any program like that?
The only thing is the Picsel Browser. But the problem with that is you can't view all the files in a folder and go to the next picture easily. But you can zoom in and move around like iPhone.
Please anyone knows one let us know.

i heard resco is the only program close enough

It is an other option I guess
and freeware

and this one too
http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/fr/index.php?soft=877

i dont know of any picture viewer that scales and zooms like the iphone with two fingers, but i use xnview, its free, opens other picture files resco cant, etc etc.

I've been looking through this forum and google, but still haven't found anything alike...
Is there anyone that's been able to develope something like it?
Thanks!

google something call iZoom , its not available yet, but would be a nice substitute

Doesn't HTC Album work a bit like the iPhone thing? I've never tried it because it won't run on my 9502, but apparently it works on a lot of devices and its freeware. You push the image to the side for the next image, and draw a circle around a bit to zoom in and stuff. Looks really cool. Wish it ran on my device

try VITO EyePhoto.
I like it very much and it's intention is clearly to bring iPhone usage principles to WM.

yes htc album is simple and efficient. easy to use.
but you should search better and sometimes look in the dev & hack section of xda and you could find this :

This'd be great.

This isn't the ideal answer you're looking for, but I think it might be the best alternative availible:
Don't know about .cbr/.cbz readers, but reading PDF files works out pretty well on the phone. If you can covert the .cbr to a PDF that would make it easy.
Download print2pdf from here http://www.software602.com/
If CDisplay on your computer has a 'print' command then you can convert the file straight to PDF through the print command.
Otherwise if you unzip the comic to .jpg's, then select all the files and tell it to print them (though print2pdf) that should make a neat little pdf comic for you.

a quick google search also brought this up:

thanx...but i think th link u gave me is for a ppc. not a smartphone

Have you tried it? It could work, and D-Pad navigation just depends on what the soft keys do. I'll give it a try now
So far so good without comic loaded. It works fine except when i put it in full screen mode. I couldn't get it out. Had to end it with Task Manager
It works fine with a comic loaded too. Except the full screen prob. You need to use PictoDS from the link to convert .cbr/.cbz/.pdf

it seems to load ok, but i have only .cbr or .cbz files with me. as u said it needs pic to DS. tried searching the net, but could find only some obscure forum with a dead link. can u catch hold of it, and post it here? will be very grateful!

It's in the linkabove. I'm not on my pc so here's the links
Direct Download for windows http://cbds.free.fr/Softwares/PictoDS/Fichiers/2.1/PictoDS_win32_2.1.0.zip
Page Link http://cbds.free.fr/Softwares/PictoDS/?language=en#download

thanx man...downloaded it alright...will test it ok....thanx again!

Looking for Video Editor For Windows Mobile 6.1 Device

This area looks like the best place to pose this question. I've been searching everywhere for some sort of freeware video editor similar to the SE video DJ, but have not come across ANY. Editing is a huge hobby of mine, and my device feels sort of "empty" without it. Does anyone happen to know of any good video editing software comptible with WM 6.1 (on HTC Touch Pro)? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I've been through several programs and have yet to see something like this. Honestly, i'd be surprised to see a video editing program for Pocket PCs because it requires so much and i don't think that what we've got today is enough. If anybody has more insight on this, please correct me if i'm wrong.

[Q] What software for theme creation?

Hi to all, I'm interested in theme creation on HD2, but after searching on the forum I wasn't able to find out what software I need...
The only way to edit manila is extracting the files with CFC GUI and, after trying to understand where the icon goes on the phone, editing it with photoshop?
Anyone knows a software at least to understand more easily where the single image go?
(some graphic software to make something nice would be great too)
Thank you for helping a n00b
