May 08 VITO Technology updates SMS-Chat with new features
Found in:Software, Pocket PC, updates,

VITO Technology releases a new version of one of its best-sellers SMS-Chat. SMS-Chat is a Windows Mobile SMS messenger that organizes your SMS correspondence into threaded SMS conversations. There has appeared the ability to create templates that you can use for quick answers, the ability to switch off popping up alerts. If you've received some telephone number in SMS you can click it to place a call or if there is a hyperlink click it to open it in a browser. You will be pleasantly surprised by the ability to change skins in new SMS-Chat.

The new version of SMS-Chat presents a lot of improvements that make big sense for SMS chatting. The most distinctive option is the ability to switch off the onscreen alerts. This way you can hide the onscreen SMS notification and nobody will peek on your incoming message. Other new options include the ability to create and use your own templates for quick answers so that you can send answers immediately, the ability to open hyperlinks and dial phone numbers right from the message with a single tap, the ability to send your contacts' phone numbers. Now SMS-Chat uses the default folders for saving text messages, therefore most bugs have been fixed, like the problems with full screen notifications.

May 02 How to Make Your Own Freeware
Found in:Symbian, Freeware,

Great applications are no good if people don't know it exists. Here's a quick guide on getting started with mobile application development, and choosing the best path to reach the most users:

Step 1: Choose your platform.
Most applications run on the S60 platform - built on Symbian OS - that powers most Nokia devices (and some LG and Samsung devices as well). Given that there are now more than 150 million devices using S60, it makes sense to build applications that work with this platform. Developers can work in C++ (using native Symbian OS APIs and a subset of the POSIX standard libraries provided by Open C), the Java™ language (using MIDP 2.0 with an extensive range of additional JSRs), Flash Lite from Adobe, and Python.

Step 2: Setup your development environment
Forum Nokia (http://forum.nokia.com) is a good place to start setting up a development environment. There, you can download a suite of development tools known as Carbide. Carbide is ideally suited for C++ and Java developers, and can be downloaded as a stand-alone development tool, or plugged into Visual Studio.

Step 3: Learn from tutorials, code snippets, and best practices
As one of the largest developer communities, Forum Nokia holds a wealth of information for developers of all levels. Besides an active forum and code sharing, official "Learning Paths" are also available to provide a guided self-learning approach, covering areas such as security, building GUIs, and more.

As a community of more than three million, Forum Nokia is a resource for anyone who wants to learn the ins and outs of mobile development. While there are great resources to be had from just browsing the site, membership (it's free) is recommended to get the most value from this site.

Get started here.

Apr 16 How to install CAB files on Your Pocket PC
Found in:How To, Software, Tips, Pocket PC,

We have many comments recently targeted on one question - How to install CAB files on Pocket PC? I am writing this simple guide with the idea to help you installing and using all those great applications you will ever want.

First of all you need to find and download the program you want to install. I will use an application called PDAStatus, which shows the status of your device on today screen. When the download process is complete you need to copy the CAB file and paste it somewhere on your device, I personally recommend to do this at the Storage Card. Note that some applications are zipped so you need to unarchive them to have the CAB file. Now you need to open pocket pc's File Explorer, located into the Programs. Browse the storage card or the location you used to copy the CAB. When you select and run it, a windows will appear, which asks you to Choose a location to install the program. It can be your Device or the Storage Card, so select your choice and click below on Install. The process after that is fully automated and after the installation is complete it will show you confirmation screen.

This is all you need to do to install CAB files to your Windows Mobile Pocket PC device. Below is video on which you can see how I installed PDAStatus on my HTC TyTN.

I hope this will be useful and as always if you have question please ask.

Apr 15 Twitter Explanation
Found in:video,

Twitter is lately the most talked phenomenon at the last SXSW (South By South West), a Web 2.0 conference that took place last week in Austin, TX. We have recently created a Twitter account for Freeware Pocket PC site and i decided to explain you what are the basics of Twitter, for those who don't know.

The best analogy that I could come up with was the greeting card that we normally send/receive once a year during the holiday. We normally join a letter giving the updates about your family. Twitter is that update letter that you send/receive in real time.

Anyway, I am convinced the below instructional video made from CommonCraft is worth a thousand words.
