Iris Browser Beta 2 for Windows Mobile

Jack Cook — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 02:11:52 +0000

There is a NEW version of the Iris Browser and it is pretty good. I have been using it on my Palm 750 and find the experience to be pretty stable. It still needs more work but I think you will enjoy it.

Iris Browser Beta 2, which is now available for free download, has been tested on a variety of Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6 devices, including Classic and Professional editions. A 400 MHz CPU with at least 128 MB of RAM is recommended at this time, though it is known to work well on 200 MHz processors and 64 MB devices.

Skyfire - You need to try it

Jack Cook — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:41:53 +0000

A month ago, Chris posted that Skyfire (was) Open to Everyone but it had a short window of opportunity but NOW it is open again for everyone. If you have not tried Skyfire yet, you need to do so. Simply put, it is an amazing experience. I was fortunate to get in on the early beta program in the beginning of the year and have been truly amazed with the experience. Now you too can try it because Skyfire is giving Windows Mobile smartphone users everywhere an opportunity to take the latest beta version and test it out.

Skyfire is free and it will allow you to experience the internet like you do on your PC. Imagine, you can have the same experience on your mobile phone that you have at home … how cool is that? It’s “The Web”, not some mobile web.

The 0.8 beta of Skyfire is now available for smartphones running Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0 and you folks that run Symbian don’t worry, your version for Series 60 phones is coming very soon!

Get it here at Skyfire!

Skype for Mass-Market Mobile Phones

Jack Cook — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 14:51:39 +0000

I use Skype all the time and find it very reliable in my day to day calls. Having it on my device will be a huge advantage for some of the calls I make. At this point in time, the devices that are supported are limited and one can only hope that Skype will make this beta version available for Windows Mobile devices soon.

Following recent moves to extend Skype conversations to a wide variety of new mobile and wireless devices, Skype is taking another major step as it continues to merge its internet communications software with mobile phones. Today, the company released a beta version of Skype for your mobile, a mobile “thin“ client that works on about 50 of the most popular Java-enabled mobile phones from Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson.

The beta version of Skype for your mobile is available worldwide with a feature set that includes chat, group chat, presence (seeing when your contacts are online), and receiving calls from Skype users, and through SkypeIn.* Additional features, which include the making of Skype-to-Skype and SkypeOut calls from the mobile handsets, are initially supported in seven markets: Brazil (Rio de Janeiro), Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Poland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
