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.

Enhancing windows mobile pocket pc / smartphones with voice functions is loved by lots of people and that's why I am happy to introduce you Speereo Voice Mailer for WM devices. It is a freeware voice operated program with unique function of creating audio e-mail message.

We have previously posted a trick showing how to prevent WM 5.0 and ActiveSync from draining your battery. At the time of writing it was a 6 step process, but now all is made in CAB file for your ease.

The zip archive contains CAB and setup launcher for easy installation plus a short TXT doc. The core file works by setting Cradled value to zero every minute. When nothing is cradled, no synchronization takes place (at least per personal observation).

Since now the text messages you receive can only be previewed on Pocket PCs (Touchscreens) not Smartphones. But now there is a solution for this and I am happy to present it to you. It is called SMS Bubbles and brings to the world of Windows Mobile Smartphones feature that their "big brother", Pocket PC, has by default - text message preview in bubble.

SMSBubbles displays incoming text message or delivery receipt in a "bubble". If text of message contains a phone number SMSBubbles tries to find matching contact from the phone's contact list and according to the settings replaces the number by composed contact string. All phone numbers in a bubble are shown as links, so it is possible to activate them and then make a call to the linked phone number.

SMS Bubbles can be downloaded for free at Smartphone Freeware site.

I am very proud to present you one application which deserves applauses for being developed perfectly. It is called Pointui Home and it's purpose is to let you Take back control of your Windows Mobile device. Pointui Home's has very intuitive controls and highly responsive user interface, which togheter make using your device a breeze. It has the idea of HTC Home Plugin (to operate your device without the stylus/ finger friendly controls) and looks similar to the TouchFlo , but when I tested it I can honestly say that Pointui's home plugin work better and faster than anything i have tried.... and don't forget it is still a BETA version.
