"We hope that this site will provide useful content and resources for Microsoft Windows Embedded developers today and in the future. Since its inception, OpenNETCF has been all about community. We know that developers alone can create software, but an active developer community is what allows us as developers to leverage what has already been done by others and to strengthen the environment in which we work. The intent of this site is to facilitate that sense of community and to help you as a developer meet your customer's needs, regardless of who that customer might be or what the needs entail. While OpenNETCF Consulting and the OpenNETCF name itself are strongly associated to the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework, this site is not targeted solely to Compact Framework developers. We hope that this site provides useful content to all developers that are creating software that either runs on or interfaces with Windows Embedded devices, whether they are Windows CE, Windows Mobile or Micro Framework-based. We provide interactive Forums for the discussion of not just OpenNETCF libraries, but for the discussion of Windows Embedded development in general. A large wealth of knowlege already exists in our current Forums and we will be working to migrate that information here in a sensible way. We will also be providing articles and white papers on a variety of topics. If you have a request for a topic, or a desire to write an article, feel free to contact us."
Another resource site to put in the arsenal of Windows Mobile developers, the people who bring you OpenNETCF libraries are now bringing you a new community site with forums, and eventually, a wiki to help share knowledge. Always good to have more resources at your finger tips, right?

"The Pocket PC Timer is set to two minutes by default and will countdown the seconds before buzzing to let you know that time is up. It doesn't stop there though, as the secondary elapsed time counter will continue adding up the minutes you spend on the task, allowing you to track exactly how long your estimated two-minute task took you. The timer can be set at any value between 1 second and 59 minutes and 59 seconds. The elapsed time counter will continue counting once the main timer has counted down to zero, and can record a lot more than 59 minutes and 59 seconds elapsed time for those really poor estimates! This timer comes complete with big onscreen buttons to start (and stop) the timer as well as resetting the clock to your chosen time limit to allow for efficient usage (sometimes a stylus is just too fiddly)."
Always nice to have something free to play with, especially if you don't already have a preferred program. If you're looking for an innovative and interesting timer, check out this new one by the same author as nActionr.

"HTC also today announced the launch of HTCmail, a fully hosted, secure, and managed email service based on Microsoft Hosted Exchange. HTCmail will bring the benefits of always-connected business to mobile professionals. The HTC offering provides seamless and real-time access to up to five different email accounts, either personal or work mailboxes, aggregated and instantly delivered to a mobile device through Outlook 2007. Features include email, contacts and calendar, enabling users to easily access information and communications while on the go. HTCmail is compatible with all HTC devices, and will be rolling out across selected European markets* from September 2007."
It appears that HTC wants a piece of that nice big hosted exchange pie, and who better to provide it to them (This is up for debate, but for new users, the same name as that of the device probably has inherent trust)? What I like is the "real-time access to up to five ... accounts". Sounds interesting, especially from an exchange user and admin perspective. Anyone hoping to try HTC's offering out when it's released?

"With interest in the Shift -- HTC's foray into the wacky UMPC market -- coming to a rolling boil, we're glad to hear the company has finally shored up firm plans to get the sucker released. Vishnu Vardhan, HTC's exec for the Middle East and North Africa, says that the Shift will see an official release at Dubai's GITEX Technology Week starting September 8. That's not all, though; Vardhan says that four "brand new products" will see the light of day for the first time at GITEX"
The HTC Shift looks like it may bring the UMPC market some respectability with it's 30 GB drive, dual operating systems, and 1 GB of RAM. GITEX is always an interesting show to watch for what is unveiled, and it looks like this year will be no exception.

"I posted my first impressions of the HTC Advantage about 10 days ago and have been using it as my primary device ever since it arrived. I actually wrote 90% of this review on the HTC Advantage with a Think Outside Sierra Bluetooth keyboard. Yes, I have even been using it as my mobile phone, even though the form factor is not optimized for this and HTC really doesn't even advertise its mobile phone functionality. Surprisingly, it actually performed as one of the best quality mobile phones I have ever used, but there are trade-offs that I'll talk about later. The HTC Advantage is the most powerful and full-featured Windows Mobile Professional device on the market and it is the largest Phone Edition I have used before. HTC's retail box states that the HTC Advantage X7501 is “The most powerful mobile office” and after over 2 weeks with the device I tend to agree it is an amazing device in a form factor that meets a great balance of compromises. Do I think it is worth the US$850 retail price (Amazon.com price) and will I be buying one for myself after sending back the evaluation unit?"
Matthew Miller has used the Advantage for a few weeks now, and weighs in on if the heafty price tag is worth the cost for the benefits gained. An interesting read - what do you think? Any Advantage users here that want to weigh in themselves?

"One of the latest projects out of the Mozilla Labs is Joey, a Firefox extension designed to solve this problem by taking snippets of a web page from the desktop and, through a mobile formatted portal, make the text or media available in a mobile friendly and usable way.Here's how it works: someone can use Firefox to send text clippings, pictures, videos, RSS content, and Live Bookmarks to a phone through the Joey Server. The Joey Server transcodes and keeps all of the content up-to-date. The person can then use the phone's web browser or the Joey application on the phone to view and manage what has been uploaded. "
An interesting approach to mobile content - basically the angle is that if your favorite site doesn't offer a mobile version, Joey will create one for you. Anyone tried this out? I may do so if I get some time at the end of the week - after all, anything to make pages look better!
