I am very pleased to introduce you one very nice Pocket PC client for Twitter. With the rise of Twitter users and the increase in the adoption of Windows Mobile devices around the world, the need for a client that allows those Windows Mobile users to utilize as many of the features of Twitter as possible without needing to be at a desktop computer increased as well. And as the rates for mobile Internet access and the surcharges incurred by mobile providers for SMS messages increased, the need for a full-featured, yet simple-to-use, client presented itself as a need. And even though Twitter provides a web-based interface for mobile devices, its functionality was not as robust as those found on the desktop-version of the web interface. Thus, Twobile was born!

Twobile directly connects to Twitter and all transactions are performed between your Windows Mobile device and the Twitter service.

Google has recently activated IMAP support for its popular Gmail E-Mail service. This means that you can download your E-Mails to your PC or Mac, using Outlook or whatever you are using, and in addition you can access the same inbox from your mobile device. Google is also offering a mail client for mobile devices, but for the moment it only supports J2ME-enabled devices and since not all Windows Mobile devices includes J2ME but Outlook Mobile, this is the better option anyway.

E-Mail clients using IMAP generally leave messages on the server until the user explicitly deletes them. This and other options of IMAP operation allow multiple clients to access the same mailbox. While IMAP offers access to the mail store on the server, the client may store local copies of the messages, these are considered to be a temporary cache and the server's store is authoritative.

CallFilter is recently released freeware application working for all Symbian versions, as the developer says. It allows you to block / unblock incoming calls as easy as setting up a filter rule plus it keeps a log with all the rejected calls. I like the idea of rejecting incoming calls on the go and to do it for Free.

Call Filter is a utility application realised under the concept "Simple Yet Efficient" for your Symbian devices. It allows you to hang-up any incoming calls from contacts selected as a filter rule in main application screen. Gives you a very convenient and quick access to block/unblock some phone number at runtime. This is convenient in situations when your BOSS is always on your head and you don't want to answer his call at certain moments during the day, it takes a few clicks and you are done blocking your BOSS calls. The logs screen maintains a list of rejected calls and allows placing a quick call or an sms to the rejected phone number. So this is what we call "Simple Yet Efficient".

Transfering contacts or calendar items from one Windows Mobile device to another is and issue that concerns most of the handhelds owners when upgrading to new device. With devices running operating systems prior to WM5 this was an easy job (you just brought up the built-in keyboard SIP and tapped Ctl, and, then, A, to select all contacts and mass-transfer all this via both infrared and Bluetooth to any other device). But the WM5 ha sputted this situation in other direction. It has no option of mass-select any kind of PIM data for transfer unless you use a PIM extender like Pocket Informant. But there is also a new way to do this i have just read about in Werner Ruotsalainen article for pocketpcmag.com.

It is based on the free application PIM Backup and even if it is your second time using Windows Mobile application you will have no problem dealing with it. Here you can read complete post Menneisyys wrote about this issue and learn how to do it.

Thanks for the great article again Menneisyys.
