iMate' K-JAR, new PocketPC phone

Wednesday, 31 January 2007

Not yet released, information leaked from FCC. Probably planned for the next month' 3GSM conference.  No details on their website too.

 As far as we have heard, this is a succesor to their jasjar. Features \a thumb-keyboard and swivel touchscreen which lets you use the device in traditional PDA-mode or like a sub-notebook. Unlike the HTC Universal, the K-Jar also features an external LCD display for caller information, however this display doesn't makes use of Windows Mobile's auxiliary display functionality.
Other features are triband GSM/GPRS (neither support of GSM 850 MHz nor EDGE), Bluetooth 1.2 and W-LAN b.

Built-in memory is expected to be 128 MB ROM and 64 MB RAM which can be extended through miniSD memory cards. With the TI OMAP 730 CPU at 200 MHz, the device seems to be a little bit underpowered. The touchscreen supports QVGA and the camera is 2 megapixel.

Pros/cons of Crossbow

Tuesday, 30 January 2007

Well since Iv tried almost several roms of the same build
i thought I must write a small description about the differences between WM5 aku 3.X and WM Crossbow

1.A refreshing new look the taskbar has a new shine to it,looks crisp and clean ,even the icons and loading(graphics have been changed)
2.more stable ,real good stability when compared to other AKU 3.X of WM5
this I quote because of the fact that I can stay w/o soft resetting the device for 3 days because there is still some ram left in the 3rd day
WM crossbow =18 mb
WM 5 AKU 3.X = 15 mb
3.new smart dialing-this one consumes much lesser ram and has a brand new look..much more responsive than that of the previous smart dialer
4.Voice Command 1.6 comes with Crossbow Cheesy
5.all new sounds (no more annoying Default tone)

Cons
this is the only disadvantage I found as of now
THE BATTERY CONSUMPTION-the battery drains like crazy...
the PDA runs hardly for 16-17 normal hours
when compared to 1- 1.5 days using WM5 AKU 3.x

 

 

Windows Mobile Device Center

Tuesday, 30 January 2007

So finally after a hog of delays, Microsoft will be launching Vista in Times Square today. So why am I saying all about it here, where the community is dedicated to somehow or the other related to Pocket PC devices? Hmm, do you remember Active Sync? Needless to say the umpty number of errors it caused for most being unable to Synchronize it. Active Sync will no longer work in Vista. Due to many changes in the Windows Vista architecture, Microsoft changed the way how devices will sync. introducing something called Windows Mobile Device Center, shortly called as WMDC, works pretty nice in terms of enabling you to set up new partnerships with Windows Mobile Pocket PCs and Smartphones, synchronizing content like your Outlook items and managing music, pictures and video with any Windows Mobile 2003 or Windows Mobile 5.0-powered device (sorry guys - no further support of Pocket PC or Pocket PC 2002). And in combination with the Windows Vista Sync Center (which is the central place to get Widows Vista PCs synchronized with Mobile devices that you plug in to your computer or to which you connect wirelessly (such as portable music players, digital cameras and mobile phones) and files stored in folders on network servers) the Windows Mobile Device Center (which needs to be downloaded as an add-on) does a fantastic job.

Now comes the notable point, the shortly called WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center) is still in Beta and is not being shipped with the Core OS. So before you search for it, I'm here to let you know that you can download it from here and also note that its still a Beta version.

Renaming Windows Mobiles

Tuesday, 30 January 2007

Not sure how far this story is true. Upon the arival of Windows Mobile 6, its gonna be renamed such as 

Windows Mobile for Smartphone -> Windows Mobile 6 Standard

Windows Mobile for Pocket PC -> Windows Mobile 6 Classic

Windows Mobile for Pocket PC Phone -> Windows Mobile 6 Professional

By changing the names Microsoft wants to make that the transition from traditional handhelds to the current smart devices more clear. Microsoft also wants to make it more clear for customers what the difference between Smartphones, Pocket PC's and Pocket PC Phone really is.

All Windows Mobile devices without a touchscreen will be called "Standard". These will probably all be Smartphones. By naming the Pocket PC version "Classic" Microsoft wants to ensure that customers know that this basic platform has come to an end and connected devices are the future.
