Google’s Android Runs On Windows Mobile
This is pretty interesting. Some folks at XDA-Developers have managed to get a build of Google’s Android operating system running on Windows Mobile. Check out a video here. We’re not talking about replacing the ROM here, we’re talking about opening Linux as if it was a Windows Mobile Application and then loading Android within that. Since I’m pretty sure there’s nothing that Android can do that Windows Mobile can’t already do right now, it’s probably …

Today I received a T-Mobile Blackberry 8820. It’s my first attempt at really getting to know a Blackberry device. I have not even gotten through setup of email or syncing or anything. After installing the desktop software it told me I need to reboot and I can’t do that yet so it will have to wait. Here are my first impressions: I was pretty confused when trying to navigate the Blackberry operating system. It is …

Many Windows Mobile devices already include the Windows Live software which gives you “push” Hotmail syncing, Live contacts syncing, the Live Search today screen item, and the Live Spaces photo upload plug-in. Unfortunately, a lot of manufacturers choose to not include these features. So if you’re missing Windows Live, now you can download it for free from wl.windowsmobile.com.

It’s been years and years since AOL released an Instant Messaging program for Windows Mobile. Heck, back then it was called Windows CE and Pocket PC. Now, AOL has released an AOL MyMobile beta program that includes instant messaging and email reading along with some other neat content like weather, MapQuest, MovieFone, CityGuide, AOL Pictures, Contacts, Sports, and News. If you’re still an AOL user, this looks like the program you’ve been waiting for to …
