Earlier this week, HTC announced a new Smartphone called the s740. This new device is a non-touch screen version of the Diamond-like Touch Pro. Unlike most other devices these days, the s740 came as a complete surprise to many. The s740 sports a 528MHz processor from Qualcomm (could this be the fastest Smartphone we’ve seen [...]
Fellow Mobile Devices MVP, Bev Howard, has recently updated his mobile friendly hurricane info web site. There are updated links for tracking Gustav (and I’m sure he will add any upcoming storms as well) as well as the latest advisories, forecast’s and even satellite images. If you live or travel in the area of these [...]
Marc over at Ilium Software made a great post commenting on the “No Reboot Challenge” that I’ve been running. There are so many factors involved in doing this challenge that I can’t possibly rule them all out and create a truly controlled environment for this test. Ultimately, it would be best if the OS protected [...]
People often ask me why they should consider rugged devices. To be honest, they aren’t for everyone and every job. They do have some significant benefits over regular consumer devices. Of course, the size alone can be the biggest disadvantage. Someday I’ll write an article and list out all the pro’s and con’s. For now, [...]
I was just posting an update to my progress in the “No Reboot Challenge” when I noticed something interesting; Internet Explorer Mobile is using almost 24MB on my device. What could be the reason for this? It’s not like the page I have open is huge or anything. In fact, it’s just the mobile home [...]

Version 2.0 of Backup builds on an already solid foundation that was set in version 1.5 but layers on key functionality that allows you to backup and restore literally any aspect of your device. Some of the new features [...]
In my recent post about stability, I talked about Windows Mobile and how it is a stable platform. The source of all that instability is poorly written 3rd party applications. To help prove my point, I’m taking on the “No Reboot Challenge”. The idea is simple, no more reboots of my phone for any reason [...]
Windows Mobile is a buggy and unstable mobile operating system that requires daily, or if you’re lucky, weekly reboots to keep it running smoothly. You should install a close button replacement tool that will actually force applications to close instead of just the smart minimize that Windows Mobile does by default because Microsoft can’t seem [...]
I know I’ve talked about it a couple of times around here, but I’m going to mention it again – I’m hooked on watching the Olympics. Unfortunately, today we had plans to take the kids to Canada’s Wonderland (the Canadian version of Disneyland). That means leaving early and missing out on watching the Men’s 100m [...]
