Hola,
I'm still a little new to this forum and I have done a lot of reading and searching. I would like to ask what you use your PPC for and with what tools. Example; for me I use my PPC as:
Telephone - built in
PDA - built in
Camera - built in used seldom because poor in quality
MP3 Player - built in
others would have something like GPS, etc. I'm trying to get a feel as to what else I can do with my PPC.
Thanks
Piet
not exactly sure what you're after but here goes:
Telephone - built in
BT Headset - via Bluetooth
PDA - built in
Camera - built in used seldom because poor in quality
MP3 Player - built in
GPS - via Bluetooth
Laptop mouse pad/control - via Bluetooth, Activesync and 3rd party app called Pocket Tablet (though it's not as accurate). Good for flipping charts/PPT materials when in a meeting
Browsing - built in
Car Stereo - 2.5mm to 3.5mm plug converter, car charger and a sh*tload of mp3s in the storage card
FM radio via 3rd party app using GPRS
Traffic video watch via 3rd party app using GPRS
Flashlight - Pocket Lamp...helpful when I drop something in the movie theatre
and 3rd party apps for doing all sorts of things like currency/unit converter
I use mine simply for phoneing, a basic track of pims and all my texts from my beloved wifey.
What else oh yes gps, games, browsing web and work sending me loads of emails.
mostly navigating and phone usage play a few games and keep appointments

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What app is this?
If you use GPRS, then surely it's internet radio and not FM radio.
PDA: Contacts and Appointment
Phone
WAP Browser
Bible reader
Music Player
I use my Wallaby to navigate around London on foot and public transport with train, underground and street maps. Also alarm clock, address book, scheduling, phone calls, taking notes whilst in meetings (might be getting the keyboard for it soon), a game or two when I'm bored, MSN messenger, IRC and email when I'm out and about on the bus/train etc and as a guitar tuner.
Great, handy little device that can do so much!

Neil.
96% Games, 1% Reading, 1% listening to Music, 1% Browsing the Net, and 1% other (much is mixed in with that 1%)....
use them for a little bit everything they are designed to do...
but, mostly for the internet & as a world phone when traveling...
I do tons with my phone.. gps, internet, phonebook, addressbook, calculator, tip calc, book, pretty much everything.. the only 2 things I can't figure out yet is a functional semi accurate sound DB/SPL meter, and something for monitoring/modifying my car engine, for on the fly tuning.
Basicaly is my main device for working and personal
So with my great Universal I do:
80% calling, 10% net surfing with Opera mobile and live messenger and
10% installing, tweaking, flashing ROM´s etc
Never use camera, never play games...
similar to orb3000, dont use my device for games and camera.... i use it for everything else they are designed to do. mostly phone calls, agenda, reminder, business contacts - its like a mini yellow pages here , internet, dictionary, calculator, and some other useful apps like forex, dictionary, investment tools, etc etc..
cant live without it
Another here who doesn't use the camera, games, or even as an MP3 player. If i want the first i have a nice Fuji A370, the middle a DS, and the latter a 120Gb iPod. Saves the battery on my Trinity for the day to day stuff of messaging in all its forms, SMS, IM, twitter, email, voice.
one more thing. i have a u1000 and with that the screen's 5 inches. for long drives and i don't need the gps, i mount it in the back passenger window. my kid loves movies like finding nemo (disney - pixar - dreamworks), etc. so instead of buying a portable dvd and a screen, the u1000 does this perfectly.
The two biggest uses for my Kaiser are browsing the web with Opera or Skyfire and finding businesses and directions and such with Live Search and GMM. The calendar (synced through Exchange with my Google calendar) is also very useful to me.
I never use the media functions, because there's no dedicated 3.5mm jack out and I already have a Zune.
I use the camera occasionally, but rarely for taking actual "photos." I use it as a "scanner" to take pictures of text or stuff I want to remember with Evernote.
to view naked chiks .. lol
50%calling
20%gps
10%mp3
10%surfing opera
5% trying new apps
last 5% view more chicks
regards from portugal...
70% Istant messaging applications
25% Opera/opera mini
5% Sms/calls

I have Rose.
For music and audiobooks I use PocketPlayer.
for reading ebooks - Mobipocket Reader.
Navigation - Garmin Mobile XT.
Movies - TCPMP.
Internet and online communication - Iris browser + Palringo.
Audio recording and Dictaphone - Audionotes.
QR barcodes - I-nigma.
Standard phone functions - rarely.
Camera - almost never.
I never use RSS Hub, Messenger, e-mail, PIE, Audio Manager or FM Radio.
I have also some games and 3rd party tweaking and modding software like SKTools and SmartToolkit(this is used rarely because it's unstable and uses too much resources). I'm waiting for some ROM updates to make my phone more stable and to increase performance...
i'm new to the rss world, but i was wondering if there was a program that worked like itunes, where it would manage the rss on the pc and then just transfer the rss(or media file?) into the wizard. kind of how an ipod works????
rather than the wizard downloading from the wifi or gprs directly.
sorry if i sound retarted...........
hmm this works on the psp

try that
if it works post
From wikipedia (sorry about long paragraph)
"A podcatcher is usually an always-on program which starts when the computer is started and runs in the background. It manages a set of feed URIs added by the user and downloads each at a specified interval, such as every two hours. If the feed data has substantively changed from when it was previously checked (or if the feed was just added to the podcatcher's list), the program determines the location of the most recent item and automatically downloads it to the user's computer. Some podcatchers, such as iTunes, also automatically make the newly downloaded episodes available to a user's portable media player."
i want a program that can do something like described here
If you have WM5 you can sync media through Windows Media Player, and there is a piece of software that will download and create playlists for new RSS downloaded media files called iPodder, that can be auto synchronised then through ActiveSync.
http://ipodder.sourceforge.net/download/index.php
For things like news, and text based RSS feeds, you could either use something like AvantGo or ano other RSS news reader you find on Google.
I use iTunes for downloading podcasts then I have a batch file which transfers them over to my Charmer.
The podcasts aren't DRM protected so they play with no problems.
Hi
That's the problem:
I work on a remote place in Brazil. I usually only have a wlan access sometimes at morning, and I dont have access to a notebook or a PC until the weekend.
I'm looking for a full articles downloader (since the RSS feeds usually just display news headlines) or a full website downloader.
I found WebCopier Mobile, but it needs a candle and ActiveSync to make the download.
Is there any full article rss reader/downloader or a full website downloader for pocket pc?
THanks!
I'm not aware of any that will download the whole article. An RSS feed does not contain a full article. It's just a small part of the article with the web link to get you to the whole story.
Newsbreak does have a built in podcast downloader that can automatically store podcasts to the storage card. You can set this up to automatically download them once they are in your feeds list. There are free programs that will do the same thing, I'm just familiar with Newsbreak.
Egress has this functionality.
Beyond Pod.... Will supply all your needs.
