The Top 10 must have applications for windows mobile phones PPC
I have been using microsoft windows mobile pocketPCs for about 2 years now, in those years I tried lots and lots of applications, free and paid. Here is a list of my top 10 must have freeware application.
1. OpenMarket ( Omarket) .
Whether you had the microsoft marketplace app on your phone or not, the Open market is a great way to download and install lots of freeware. As a matter of fact most of the apps below can be downloaded from it. You can get it here http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-opnmarket.html
2. Pocket total commander.
I love windows mobile because I still can use my windows reflexes and tricks on it. but the regular file explorer does not offer much flexibility, like changing a file extension. Total commander will allow you full control over your file system, network shares access, and more importantly, integrated registry editor. you can get this app here http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-total-commander-v2-0.html
3.Waze.
Waze is a freeware turn-by-turn GPS navigator, with realtime traffic info and 100% user generated data. furthermore, it’s a growing community of drivers all around the world, driving while having fun collecting road items and playing geo-games. you must check it out here http://www.waze.com

iphone not recognized by itunes but as a camera: Solution
I don’t really know the origin of this bug. But for some reason an iphone 2G 8G has stopped getting recognized by itunes for no reason. It only shows on My Computer as a Digital camera.
The solution is rather simple, but it does not clarify why it happened. But it is probably a bug in itunes.
To fix this, go to the device manager in your computer (right click my computer, manage , device manager). Look for the iphone under the USB devices tab. (the iphone should be connected while you do this. Delete the iphone’s driver ( click yes on the wanrning message).
Now hit check for new devices on the top bar in the device manager. The iphone’s driver will install again, and itunes should recognize it now.
If it is of any significance, this bug was noted on the latest version of itunes on windows 7 64bit
Do you have any idea why did this happened? this this work for you? please comment
Browse youtube.com on your windows mobile phone
Unlike other methods to view youtube videos on your windows mobile phone, this method does not involve a video player, nor a downloader. This is a browser that is able to display flash player 7,8, and 9 contents on any website including youtube.
With this browser you can really browse youtube, login, leave comments, vote, as if you were on a real computer.
Other than youtube, this browser is capable of displaying any flash or java based website, including chat, online gaming, etc.
This browser is called Skyfire and it is completely free!
the touch screen version offers a very smart controllability, double click to zoom, hold to right click, and drag to scroll. it kinda reminds me of the iphone.
The downside of this browser is a relatively slow rendering compared to Opera (it will take some seconds before the page is correctly rendered after a zoom). video playback is relatively slow, it can’t do tab browsing and there is not much options to configure.
There is also a version for symbian phones but I didn’t test it
Making international calls at the price of a local call
There are many ways to avoid directly calling a person in another country and this is a very good one. You will only have to pay for a local call and hear a 10sec Ad !.
Find the location of any mobile phone on a map !
Using this method you can find where any phone number is located within 5000 meter radius (max). The final outcome is a google map with the phone’s location. You can use this to find out many things that will only bring you trouble (Your kid isn’t at school, Your husband isn’t at work, your girlfriend isn’t at her grandmother’s )etc…
