sdl for windows mobile

looking for an sdl implementation for windows mobile I discovered the site http://scummvm.org. Well, I jumped to that site from another one, that seems to have hosted the original port of sdl: http://arisme.free.fr/ports/SDL.php

This opens new doors in porting interesting applications to windows mobile using cegcc

iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Keyboard

I just realized that the original software or drivers are not needed for windows mobile in order to connect the iGo keyboard. Simply press ctrl  Fn(left) Fn(right), check if the led is on, then go to the Settings/Connections/Bluetooth/Add new device… The mobile device should see the keyboard after few seconds. Click on the listed device, enter a pin, then enter the same pin on the keyboard (take care on shift/Fn etc.), the connection should be made.
The iGo also works perfectly on openmoko…

fennec: another unusable firefox derivate on windows mobile

Fennec is another unusable derivate of firefox, that belongs to the most unusable software caterogy on windows mobile… I trieod other alfa, beta, gamma versions of browser, but this is the most unusable…

running windows mobile applications on linux of openmoko

I am excited about the idea to create a WINE like compatibility layer, eventually port WINE in order to be able to run windows mobile applications on windows. To make things even faster, I would build the GUI abstraction on top of kernel fbui. I think running fbui does not exclude running xwindows on the top of the same framebuffer, as long as they share it well…

vimo: vim on windows mobile

Iris browser out of memory…

I downloaded the latest version of Iris browser (version 1.1.7). Unfortunately I had bad experience with this new version as I was not able to load a large wiki page, due to “out of memory” error.
I turned back to the older version I had installed (from 14 July 2008, do not know the version number) and the same page could be load.

microsoft exchange server clients on pocket pc

On windows mobile the default client for windows exchange will ask separately for username, domainname and mailbox. Some other IMAP4 clients like qmail, that is o very good (and free) email client for windows mobile, require the username in the form DOMAIN/USERNAME/MAILBOX

 

network folders on windows mobile

One of pthe very valuable free tools for pocket pc (windows mobile) is the gsfinder+. One of its most important feature that the default browser cannot do, is activating the network folder on the system, and map network folders from a LAN. Resco explorer can do that as well, but I won’t spend 30 dolaros for a tool that has a free counterpart.

It is nice to access your servers folders through a wifi-LAN or through internet (VPN), however it is important to keep in mind to have a secured connection/channel.
