HTC to launch Internet enabled feature phone later this year – will not be running Windows Mobile?

Digitimes is reporting that HTC is planning to launch an Internet-enabled feature phone later this year. However, contrary to what we would think, this would not be running Windows Mobile (or Android). It would instead be running BREW MP. HTC will be bundling it with wide range of flash applications to provide multimedia services to the user.

Last year, HTC did give us all a hint that they will be launching an updated version of the HTC Advantage (X7510), but we did not know that it would not be running Windows Mobile.

For those who do not what BREW MP is: It is a mobile platform made by Qualcomm

Redfly Mobile viewer impressions from a netbook and Windows Mobile user [Video]

Redfly recently released a viewer that can run on PCs. This viewer lets you to view and use your device’s screen directly from the PC. Now, Redly is not the first company to come up with such solution. Many other companies like SOTI have been offering similar solutions from quite a lot of time. What makes the Redfly different then? Well, it lets you:

• use different resolutions (800×480, 800×600, 1024×600 and 1024×768)
• has a projector mode which basically runs the Redfly applications full screen

I decided to load it on my netbook (EEE 1000H) instead of my laptop as netbook is something which I carry almost everywhere I go. Here is a video showing the real-life performance of the Redfly Viewer.

There are many games for the Windows Mobile platform, both freeware or paid-ones. There are few games that offer 3D racing game experience.

This review/guide is intended to show the games that offer 3D-experience and how they perform on devices that come with VGA display. Although there are few ported games like “Doom” or “Call of Duty”, I will focus on some newer ones.

Seeqpod bankrupt!

Remember the Seeqpod that released a Windows Mobile application for searching and playing music online? Well, Seeqpod has been sued by a number of companies like Warner, EMI, and Capitol Records. Here is the statement from Warner Bros,

unlawful music service that directly engages in, encourages, and facilitates the mass infringement of Plaintiffs

We knew from the very beginning that it is very hard for a company like Seeqpod to stay in the market as it makes no efforts to filter the illegal content. This is going to be lesson for similar websites who distribute illegal content.

Daylight (DST) Saving in Europe today

Daylight saving time (DST; also summer time in British English) is the convention of advancing clocks so that afternoons have more daylight and mornings have less. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn.

So, if you have not seen the above message on your Windows Mobile device, then you will have to adjust the time manually.

Soon to be launched: Samsung WiMAX MID AKA SWD-M100 AKA Mondi

Samsung is all set to launch SWD-M100 (Mondi) in the US. The design is similar to Nokia N810 which is also a slider MID. I am personally a big fan of slider MIDs as you can hide the keyboard when you do not want to use them. However, there is one thing that sets the M100 aside from the rest of the MIDs available in the market. It runs Windows Mobile 6.1 and it will come with Opera Mobile for the web-browsing as the IE in WM 6.1 is only good for mobile websites. Here are its specifications:

• 4.3-inch screen
• WiMAX
• WiFi 802.11 b/g
• Bluetooth 2.0
• Micro SD card slot
• 3.0 megapixel camera
• 256MB of ROM
• TV out

It will only be available from Clearwire in the US.

Commentary: The main question that comes to minds of a lot of people: Is it going to be successful with Windows Mobile 6.1 as its OS? Personally, Windows Mobile is not a bad choice at all especially with so many productivity applications under its belt. Perhaps they should go with the WM 6.5 which offers IE mobile 6 and better interface.
