Internet Banking - Is it possible on your PPC?

Hi!
Has anyone tried it? Are you able to access your own account and carry out transaction?
Is it true that even with java installed its not possible because the java on the PPC does not have security features.
What requirements are necessary on your PPC if you're able to perform internet banking.
Thanks
Yup, on my old XDA2 and 2i I needed to do it whilst away on business, etc.
Now I've got an Exec, I imagine when I need to do it again under the 3G network it will be much faster than it was under GPRS.

Windows Mobile 6.1 or 6.5 in English?

Dear listers,
I'm a new member to this great web site, as I'm about to get a new contract with T-Mobile with a HTC Touch HD cell phone; I've been told that it comes with 8GB MicroSD and Route 66 Software.
The main problem before I can go on with the contract is that the HTC cell phones available for subscribers in Holland are usually only in Dutch; as I'm not comfortable with the Dutch language, I either have to re-install the Win Mob 6.1 Professional available on my cell-phone to an English version or use some sort of English shell or middleware. I also have to make sure that the Route 66 or any other Navigation software that I can get access to through Internet will work on the new environment.
1- Where can I download (for free) a copy of the Win Mob 6.1 or 6.5 Professional?
2- Is it easy to re-install the operating system? Will I encounter any issues or problems like some software won't run or some important factory configurations will be lost?
3- What is the procedure to follow? Download the OS into my notebook and then what?
4- Do you know Navigation software that I can download instead of paying for my Route 66 software? How about TomTom? Is there any version available and downloadable for Touch HD?
I really appreciate your kind support and cooperation. Hope I can also be of any help in the future as soon as I'm getting my new phone and becoming an active user.
Best wishes,
Freddy from Holland

can "uptodate" be installed and run on android?

hi guys,
i am a winmob user and never used an android device. also i m much clueless about all the hifi technical stuff.
there is a very important application called "uptodate" that i use on my omnia2. ( pls see this link, https://www.uptodate.com/home/about/index.html )
my queries are, can this application be installed and used on a android device?
and what are the advantages of android over winmob? / can the same stuff i do on winmob be done on android too?
sorry for my ignorance, but, i work in a different field and never had to come across these before.
pls help me out here.
thanks
sorry doc, but uptodate only works on windows/ palm os, not on android..
but then you can browse the online version using your password...on any phone with an internet connection..........but cant run it from the SD card like in windows mobile.
you can run epocrates (better version than win mo), and all the skyscape handheld software on android..............
but i think, windows mobile is the best for docs like us, who want to run uptodate from sd card

thanks. that was very helpful. guess i would stick with my omnia2 and winmob.
Well the android web one is nice. Just need an internet connection. If you have reception it makes no difference. If not you're such ruth the archaic wm. I used winmo for several years. It's time to move on.
Could winmo be emulated on android to run any of these old medical programs?
Uptodate in next version 19.2, will include SUPPORT for android and iphone 4.

hello again,
coming back to the thread after a while.
i ve heard that people at utd are planning to make it only accessible online. because most of us are using the cracked versions and obviously they dont make any profit
and guess if they do that its going to be very hard to access without subscription. (which is rather expensive)
any news on that guys?

that was reallly helpful. but no support for wp7 i guess. also this online access needs subscription of several hundred usd per year, am i correct? (unless there is a way to use it without subscription) and what exactly is offline support? does it mean being able to store in the sd card and use, like with the old wm devices?

for online access you need the subscription (or have someone give you his/her login info ), of course.
i think (and hope) that offline access means the old wm and palmos way of installing it to the sd card, yes. the new, 19.2 version just came out and sadly there is no support for wm and palm anymore, so no offline version for mobile devices ... i didn't yet see the dvd itself but according to the above quotes, there will be no offline version until the transition from wm/palm to iphone/android is finished.

i contacted utd customer care. according to them they are working on iphone and android support. (no mention about wm, wp7 or palm. wp7 support would come after a while a guess) probably an iphone offline application as well. and they are going to be online only, in the future. so there wouldnt be any desktop versions. guess i m stuck with 19.1 from now on. i ve seen some guys using the online utd without getting subscribed on their android phones. still dont know how.
cheers

there was a method of how to do this from a pc (which should also work on an android phone probably) including a proxy server and an institution which has a subscription described on a forum site www.drfouly.com, but the site has been down for some weeks now, and i don't remember the exact procedure, so no luck. if there is an offline version for android in the future i will probably switch to android; for now i'm sticking with wm and utd 19.1 ... luckily the institution where i work has unlimited online access to utd from all the computers in the hospital ...

Mail send me from UPTODATE in May 2011.
We will no longer provide updates for Windows Mobile as of version 19.2, which is released in July 2011.

forget the winmo! uptodate is available for any OS, including Android, and even Symbian. I don't know how they did the trick, but I'm using uptodate 19.3 on my Android 2.3.7. I'm a copyright man, but as we cannot buy uptodate in Iran, we have to reach illegal ways
I know a filesharing link that you can download the whole uptodate 19.3 but I cannot insert the link here in this forum, due to copyright issues. so tell me how I can help you...
to run it, you should just address your web browser (any) to a file in the uptodate folder. in Dolphin or Opera, I type file:///PATH-TO-UPTODATE/

[Q] Hutchison Three Skype for WP7 (Skype for 3 Network)

Hi,
As some skype users may know Hutchison Three UK (mobile operator) has its own version of Skype which doesn't need VoIP to call,they have their servers for calls,their version of Skype is free to use and even no need to top up your phone!
This Skype app is available on Symbian3, Symbian s60 and Android, Windows Mobile (hack), but I want this on WP7 as this is a really genius app,there are no dropouts no delays and no 3G/WiFI data is involved to make a voice call.
This skype doesn't drain a battery too, which is why it's a best solution if you talk with SkypeOut quite a lot. Basically it works like a calling card,each of your contacts has its own number with extension (Three mobile server numbers). So you just buy any supported phone (even a cheap one pay&go) and use Skype voice and chat. You doesn't have to top up eather.
My question is...
Who's actually developing this skype? I know on symbian s60 it was iSkoot, on Android it's joltid?
The thing is this Skype can probably work on WP7 devices without Mango update, as this solution is no VOIP..
What is the best way to get information about development? Any thoughts? Maybe someone can port it?
P.S. Verzion (US mobile operator) also has such skype and their servers.
Thanks
I've talk to Three and that's what they've told me: "They no longer use iskoot - Skype develop everything now." ThreeUK
As I can see they eather don't know about future development, or they stopped doing it.. In a last case it will be a shame, cause like I've said. This skype is so unique..
Perhaps someone can port this app to wp7? There are .sys .apk and java apps.
Main idea is to get algorithm of how it actually add extensions to your skype contacts.
Remember I've told in my post about three servers, so here's numbers: incoming: 07838333600 and outgoing: 07838333602. If you dial just them it gives you error. So I think there is extension adding automatically, but I'm not sure how it's done.. This is a three server numbers

[Q] Which ad network the best for WP8

Hi,

Thanks
