Getting closer to figuring out my Wifi issue

I’ve been having this problem for a bit. Today, something interesting happened. After NO Wifi activity for a few days (and not enough time to troubleshoot further) I popped my Windows Mobile device into it’s cradle to sync. Lo and behold, the wireless card in my laptop turned on! Did the...

The Windows Portable Media Center is dead , Jim , so says Microsoft in a newsgroup posting . In the event the link ever disappears, here’s the message: Microsoft is no longer licensing the PMC software. Here is an announcement that was sent out last year to our PMC partners: In early 2006, Microsoft...

What's up with that?

I posted the other day about my son's Motorola Q going belly-up after less than a month of ownership. Well, I called Verizon about the issue. Because I purchased the unit from a Verizon store (locally) they can't help me. I have to go back to the original store it was purchased from just to have it swapped...

My son's Q died today

Man... ...a birthday present gone haywire. My son's Motorola Q is already ready for a swap. After a bit of research it appears that a horde of others are having similar issues. The horde are blaming Motorola for producing a badly engineered device - it doesn't even come with a hard reset button. More...

Have a Blackberry? Why?

Blackberry’s have been around for a long, long time — but how satisfied are you with their performance? When you walk into a building, travelling up the elevator — does it work? No, it doesn’t. When you walk into an underground garage, does it work? No, it doesn’t. When...

Redfly on its way

I'm hooked. I have a Redfly unit on its way. Look for a detailed review once it arrives. http://www.celiocorp.com/ I think a LOT of us were hooked on the Redfly at MMS 2008. We helped the Redfly folks by giving them space at our booth this year. It's a long story, but Jeff, the Redfly Guy, did...

Giving the Redfly a good test this weekend

We’re off to OSU this weekend to watch Alex run in the state finals . So, I’ve decided to put the Redfly through it’s paces while we’re away. Really, the Redfly is only as good as your Smartphone, I’m finding. I have an older Motorola Q from Verizon and I believe I may need to upgrade the...

skyfire doesn't work with the redfly

well i found one thing so far that doesn't work with the redfly -- skyfire. skyfire is a great add-on for windows mobile. its a web browser that shows web sites in their actual format on a windows mobile device. its still in beta, but works great. the problem seems to be how the redfly resizes the...

redfly - im sold for now

i've used the redfly extensively on our trip to alex's state track tourney, and i've come to one primary conclusion -- i need a better smartphone. the redfly is great and i'm going to continue to figure out ways to use it instead of my regular setup. its definitely a great, handy traveling...
