Desktop ActiveSync
The desktop ActiveSync program allows a mobile device to be synchronized with either a desktop PC, or a server running Microsoft Exchange Server, PostPath Email and Collaboration Server, Kerio MailServer, Scalix, Zimbra or Z-push. Only Personal information manager (PIM) data (Email/Calendar/Contacts) may be synchronized with the Exchange Server. (Tasks may also be synchronised with Exchange Server on Windows Mobile 5.0 devices.) The PC synchronization option, however, allows PIM synchronization with Microsoft Outlook, along with Internet "favorites", files, and tasks, amongst other data types. Unfortunately ActiveSync doesn't support all features of Outlook. For instance contacts grouped into subfolders aren't transferred. Only the contacts which are not in a subfolder are synchronized.
ActiveSync also provides for the manual transfer of files to a mobile device, along with limited backup/restore functionality, and the ability to install and uninstall mobile device applications.
Supported mobile devices include PDAs or Smartphones running Windows Mobile, or the Windows CE operating system, along with devices that don't use a Microsoft operating system,[2] such as the Palm OS and Symbian platforms, as well as Apple Inc.'s iPhone.
Starting with Windows Vista, ActiveSync has been replaced with the Windows Mobile Device Center, which is included as part of the operating system.[3] So nowadays ActiveSync is for operating systems which predate Windows Vista and Windows Mobile Device Center is for Vista and up, and doesn't provide any new functionality.
[edit] Exchange Server ActiveSync
In addition to the ActiveSync desktop sync software bundled with Windows, Microsoft also uses the ActiveSync name to refer to the push messaging component of Exchange Server, which relays messages to mobile devices.

WINDOWS MOBILE
Hardware platforms
Windows Mobile runs on multiple hardware platforms including Pocket PCs, smartphones, Portable Media Center, and automobiles. These hardware platforms did not always exist from the inception of Windows Mobile.
An O2 Pocket PC phone
A Smartphone (T-Mobile Dash)
A Portable Media Center
[edit] Pocket PC
Main article: Pocket PC
The Pocket PC was the original intended platform for the Windows Mobile operating system. These devices consisted of both standalone Pocket PC devices without mobile phone capabilities, and those that included mobile phone capabilities. The most current name of Windows Mobile intended for use on Pocket PCs is officially "Windows Mobile 6 Professional" for devices with mobile phone capabilities and "Windows Mobile 6 Classic" for devices without mobile phone capabilities.
[edit] Smartphone
Main article: Smartphone
The Smartphone became the next hardware platform after the Pocket PC to run Windows Mobile, and debuted with the release of Pocket PC 2002. Although in the broad sense of the term "Smartphone", both Pocket PC phones and Microsoft branded Smartphones each fit into this category, it should be noted that Microsoft's use of the term "Smartphone" includes only more specific hardware devices that differ from Pocket PC phones. Such Smartphones were originally designed without touchscreens, intended to be operated more efficiently with only one hand, and typically had lower resolution displays than Pocket PCs. Microsoft's focus for the Smartphone platform was to create a device that functioned well as a phone and data device in a more integrated manner.[4] The current name of Windows Mobile intended for use on Smartphones is officially "Windows Mobile 6 Standard".
[edit] Portable Media Center
Main article: Portable Media Center
The Portable Media Center was a device that focused on integration with Microsoft's Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player to allow users to carry their media libraries with them on the go. The Portable Media Center was officially introduced in 2004, and ran a modified version of Windows Mobile. These devices became the predecessor to Microsoft's Zune, and after 2006 Microsoft discontinued the project in favor of the latter.
[edit] Automobiles
"Windows Mobile for Automotive" is the name for Microsoft's operating system that facilitates multiple functions in automobiles including communication, entertainment, information systems.[5] Windows Mobile for use in automobiles is the latest platform for the operating system, and was introduced by Microsoft in February of 2006 at the Geneva International Motor Show.[6] Windows Mobile for Automotive comes in two different versions. The Basic version includes a Bluetooth connectivity and USB interface for music playback. The Standard version includes this also, but additionally it features a built-in GPS, GSM phone, and security features. These systems are more widely known as SYNC. The Windows Mobile for Automotive hardware specification includes a 300 MHz ARM processor, 32 MB of RAM, and a microphone.[5]
[edit] Versions
[edit] Pocket PC 2000
Typical Pocket PC 2000 Today Screen.
Pocket PC 2000, originally codenamed "Rapier",[7] was released in April of 2000, and was based on Windows CE 3.0. It was the debut of what was later dubbed the Windows Mobile operating system, and meant to be a successor to the operating system aboard Palm-Size PCs. Backwards compatibility was retained with such Palm-Size PC applications. Pocket PC 2000 was intended mainly for Pocket PC devices, however several Palm-Size PC devices had the ability to be updated as well. In addition, several Pocket PC 2000 phones were released, however the Smartphone hardware platform was not yet created. The only resolution supported by this release was 240 x 320 (QVGA). Removable storage card formats that were supported were CompactFlash and MultiMediaCard. At this time Pocket PC devices had not been standardized with a specific CPU architecture. As a result, Pocket PC 2000 was released on multiple CPU architectures; SH-3, MIPS, and ARM.
Aesthetically, the original Pocket PC operating system was similar to Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows 2000 operating systems.
Features/built-in applications for Pocket PC 2000 included the following:[8]
* Pocket Office
o Pocket Word
o Pocket Excel
o Pocket Outlook
* Pocket Internet Explorer

Although targeted mainly for 240 × 320 (QVGA) Pocket PC devices, Pocket PC 2002 was also used for Pocket PC phones, and for the first time, Smartphones.[9] These Pocket PC 2002 Smartphones were mainly GSM devices. With future releases, the Pocket PC and Smartphone lines would increasingly collide as the licensing terms were relaxed allowing OEMs to take advantage of more innovative, individual design ideas. Aesthetically, Pocket PC 2002 was meant to be similar in design to the then newly released Windows XP.
New features/built-in applications included the following:[10][11][12][13]

WM 5.0 featured increased battery life due to Persistent storage capability. Previously up to 50% (enough for 72 hours of storage) of battery power was reserved just to maintain data in volatile RAM. This continued the trend of Windows-based devices moving from using RAM as their primary storage medium to the use of flash memory. With Windows Mobile 5.0, OS updates were released as Adaptation kit upgrades. AKU3.5 is the most current release.
New features/built-in applications included the following:

Windows Mobile 6 Standard was first offered on the Orange's SPV E650,[19] while Windows Mobile 6 Professional was first offered on the O2's Xda Terra.[20] Aesthetically, Windows Mobile 6 was meant to be similar in design to the then newly released Windows Vista.
New features/built-in applications include the following:[21]
* 320x320 and 800x480 (WVGA) screen resolution support
* Office Mobile support for Smartphones
* Operating System Live Update[22]

[edit] Windows Mobile 6.1
Windows Mobile 6.1 was announced April 1, 2008. It is a minor upgrade to the existing Windows Mobile 6 platform which brings with it a redesigned Home screen featuring horizontal tiles that expand on clicking to display more information, although this new home screen is featured only on Windows Mobile Standard edition. This feature was inexplicably left out of the Professional edition.[28] Several other improvements such as threaded SMS, full page zooming in IE and 'Domain Enroll' have also been added. Domain Enroll is functionality to connect the device to System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008, a product to manage mobile devices.[29] There are other differences as well. The most prominent difference for the user is that the Standard version (like earlier versions) still creates automatic links for telephone numbers in Tasks and Appointments, which allows for the easy (and safe while driving) click and dial of stored telephone numbers within these Outlook items. For some reason, the Professional version has eliminated this important feature.
[edit] Future versions
This article or section contains information about scheduled or expected future software.
The content may change as the software release approaches and more information becomes available.
[edit] Windows Mobile 6.5
Recently confirmed by Steve Ballmer[30], version 6.5 will be a minor upgrade to the existing Windows Mobile platform. It is said to include significant new added features.[31] It will also include the new Internet Explorer Mobile browser dubbed "IE 6 On 6".[32] Windows Mobile device makers have already received the final updates to the new browser, and Microsoft expects some of the first phones with it to be available in Asia and Europe by the end of calendar year 2008, with U.S. offerings to follow.[33] Motorola expects to release a phone running Windows Mobile 6.5 in the second half of 2009.[34]
[edit] Windows Mobile 7
Codenamed "Photon"[35], Windows Mobile 7 is a major upgrade planned for release in the second half of 2009.[36] Not much else is known about the release, though leaked information suggests a revamped UI, multi-touch and motion-related features.[37] Companies such as MWg and HTC are expected to release Pocket PC phones supporting this version.[38][39] Features include redesigned interface, new Office Mobile version, next Internet Explorer Mobile, accelerometer functionality with interface (gestures), new media player version.[40] Microsoft has somewhat confirmed the leaks, showing the homescreen during a commercial of their Live Mesh software operating on what appears to be an HTC Touch Dual.[41] Microsoft also plans on bringing some form of Zune functionality or software to this version.[42]
[edit] Windows Mobile 8
It is rumored Windows Mobile 8 will be based on Midori rather than Windows CE.[43] Gizmodo writes about Windows Mobile 8. That's the one that will be started completely from scratch, with "new plumbing." This is the version you've been waiting for, implementing a completely redesigned user interface, "revolutionary" features like global search, and new concepts such as automation and connections within the phone, ideas borrowed from other smartphone operating systems. This means that you'll be able to go from viewing a person's address info in his contact card to seeing where he lives in map view in one click. There will be much more of this intuitive flow, and far less digging through menus.[44] Windows Mobile 8 will add support for gestures on auxiliary screens.[45]

[edit] Software development
Third-party software development is available for the Windows Mobile operating system. There are several options for developers to use when deploying a mobile application. This includes writing native code with Visual C++, writing Managed code that works with the .NET Compact Framework, or Server-side code that can be deployed using Internet Explorer Mobile or a mobile client on the user's device. The .NET Compact Framework is actually a subset of the .NET Framework and hence shares many components with software development on desktop clients, application servers, and web servers which have the .NET Framework installed, thus integrating networked computing space (a.k.a. "The Cloud")[46].
Microsoft typically releases Windows Mobile Software development kits (SDKs) that work in conjunction with their Visual Studio development environment. These SDKs include emulator images for developers to test and debug their applications while writing them. Microsoft also distributes Visual Studio 2008 / 2005 Professional Editions, and server / database counterparts to students as downloads free of charge via its DreamSpark program[47].
Prior to the release of Windows Mobile 2003, third-party software was developed using Microsoft's eMbedded Visual Tools

Windows Mobile 5.0 included Microsoft Exchange Server "push" functionality improvements that worked with Exchange 2003 SP2.[15] The "push" functionality also required vendor/device support[16] With AKU2 software upgrades all WM 5.0 devices supported DirectPush. WM 5.0 featured increased battery life due to Persistent storage capability. Previously up to 50% (enough for 72 hours of storage) of battery power was reserved just to maintain data in volatile RAM. This continued the trend of Windows-based devices moving from using RAM as their primary storage medium to the use of flash memory. With Windows Mobile 5.0, OS updates were released as Adaptation kit upgrades. AKU3.5 is the most current release.
New features/built-in applications included the following:
* A new version of Office called "Office Mobile"
o PowerPoint Mobile
o Graphing capability in Excel Mobile
o Tables and graphics insertion in Word Mobile
* Windows Media Player 10 Mobile
* Photo Caller ID
* DirectShow support
* Picture and Video package, which converged the management of videos and pictures
* Enhanced Bluetooth support
* Global Positioning System (GPS) management interface
* Microsoft Exchange Server "push" functionality improvements
* Default QWERTY keyboard-support
* Error reporting facility similar to that present in desktop and server Windows systems
* ActiveSync 4.2 with 15% increased synchronization speed
* Persistent storage (PS) support in Pocket PCs
* Increased battery life

Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional Today Screen
Windows Mobile 6.1 Smartphone Today Screen
Windows Mobile 6, formerly codenamed "Crossbow",[7] was released on February 12, 2007[17] at the 3GSM World Congress 2007. It comes in three different versions: "Windows Mobile 6 Standard" for Smartphones (phones without touchscreens), "Windows Mobile 6 Professional" for Pocket PCs with phone functionality, and "Windows Mobile 6 Classic" for Pocket PCs without cellular radios.[18]
Windows Mobile 6 is powered by Windows CE 5.0 (version 5.2) and is strongly linked to Windows Live and Exchange 2007 products. Windows Mobile 6 Standard was first offered on the Orange's SPV E650,[19] while Windows Mobile 6 Professional was first offered on the O2's Xda Terra.[20] Aesthetically, Windows Mobile 6 was meant to be similar in design to the then newly released Windows Vista.
New features/built-in applications include the following:[21]
* 320x320 and 800x480 (WVGA) screen resolution support
* Office Mobile support for Smartphones
* Operating System Live Update[22]

* Office Mobile 6.1 announced[27] with support for Office 2007 document formats (pptx, docx, xlsx).
[edit] Windows Mobile 6.1
Windows Mobile 6.1 was announced April 1, 2008. It is a minor upgrade to the existing Windows Mobile 6 platform which brings with it a redesigned Home screen featuring horizontal tiles that expand on clicking to display more information, although this new home screen is featured only on Windows Mobile Standard edition. This feature was inexplicably left out of the Professional edition.[28] Several other improvements such as threaded SMS, full page zooming in IE and 'Domain Enroll' have also been added. Domain Enroll is functionality to connect the device to System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008, a product to manage mobile devices.[29] There are other differences as well. The most prominent difference for the user is that the Standard version (like earlier versions) still creates automatic links for telephone numbers in Tasks and Appointments, which allows for the easy (and safe while driving) click and dial of stored telephone numbers within these Outlook items. For some reason, the Professional version has eliminated this important feature.
[edit] Future versions
This article or section contains information about scheduled or expected future software.
The content may change as the software release approaches and more information becomes available.
[edit] Windows Mobile 6.5
Recently confirmed by Steve Ballmer[30], version 6.5 will be a minor upgrade to the existing Windows Mobile platform. It is said to include significant new added features.[31] It will also include the new Internet Explorer Mobile browser dubbed "IE 6 On 6".[32] Windows Mobile device makers have already received the final updates to the new browser, and Microsoft expects some of the first phones with it to be available in Asia and Europe by the end of calendar year 2008, with U.S. offerings to follow.[33] Motorola expects to release a phone running Windows Mobile 6.5 in the second half of 2009.[34]
[edit] Windows Mobile 7
Codenamed "Photon"[35], Windows Mobile 7 is a major upgrade planned for release in the second half of 2009.[36] Not much else is known about the release, though leaked information suggests a revamped UI, multi-touch and motion-related features.[37] Companies such as MWg and HTC are expected to release Pocket PC phones supporting this version.[38][39] Features include redesigned interface, new Office Mobile version, next Internet Explorer Mobile, accelerometer functionality with interface (gestures), new media player version.[40] Microsoft has somewhat confirmed the leaks, showing the homescreen during a commercial of their Live Mesh software operating on what appears to be an HTC Touch Dual.[41] Microsoft also plans on bringing some form of Zune functionality or software to this version.[42]
[edit] Windows Mobile 8
It is rumored Windows Mobile 8 will be based on Midori rather than Windows CE.[43] Gizmodo writes about Windows Mobile 8. That's the one that will be started completely from scratch, with "new plumbing." This is the version you've been waiting for, implementing a completely redesigned user interface, "revolutionary" features like global search, and new concepts such as automation and connections within the phone, ideas borrowed from other smartphone operating systems. This means that you'll be able to go from viewing a person's address info in his contact card to seeing where he lives in map view in one click. There will be much more of this intuitive flow, and far less digging through menus.[44] Windows Mobile 8 will add support for gestures on auxiliary screens.[45]

[edit] Software development
Third-party software development is available for the Windows Mobile operating system. There are several options for developers to use when deploying a mobile application. This includes writing native code with Visual C++, writing Managed code that works with the .NET Compact Framework, or Server-side code that can be deployed using Internet Explorer Mobile or a mobile client on the user's device. The .NET Compact Framework is actually a subset of the .NET Framework and hence shares many components with software development on desktop clients, application servers, and web servers which have the .NET Framework installed, thus integrating networked computing space (a.k.a. "The Cloud")[46].
Microsoft typically releases Windows Mobile Software development kits (SDKs) that work in conjunction with their Visual Studio development environment. These SDKs include emulator images for developers to test and debug their applications while writing them. Microsoft also distributes Visual Studio 2008 / 2005 Professional Editions, and server / database counterparts to students as downloads free of charge via its DreamSpark program[47].
Prior to the release of Windows Mobile 2003, third-party software was developed using Microsoft's eMbedded Visual Tools

The Nokia E71 smartphone running S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1 UI on the Symbian OS v9.2
A smartphone is a mobile phone offering advanced capabilities beyond a typical mobile phone, often with PC-like functionality. There is no industry standard definition of a smartphone.[1][2] For some, a smartphone is a phone that runs complete operating system software providing a standardized interface and platform for application developers.[3][4] For others, a smartphone is simply a phone with advanced features like e-mail and Internet capabilities, and/or a full keyboard.[5][6]

[edit] Definition
There is no agreement in the industry about what a smartphone actually is and definitions have changed over time.[2] According to David Wood, EVP at Symbian, "Smart phones differ from ordinary mobile phones in two fundamental ways: how they are built and what they can do."[7] Other definitions put different stresses on these two factors.[citation needed]
Most devices considered smartphones today use an identifiable and open operating system, often with the ability to add applications (e.g. for enhanced data processing, connectivity or entertainment) - in contrast to regular phones which only support sandboxed applications (like Java games)[citation needed]. These smartphone applications may be developed by the manufacturer of the device, by the network operator or by any other third-party software developer, since the operating system is open.[citation needed].
In terms of features, most smartphones support full featured email capabilities with the functionality of a complete personal organizer. Other functionality might include an additional interface such as a miniature QWERTY keyboard, a touch screen or a D-pad, a built-in camera, contact management, an accelerometer, built-in navigation hardware and software, the ability to read business documents in a variety of formats such as PDF and Microsoft Office, media software for playing music, browsing photos and viewing video clips, internet browsers or even just secure access to company mail, such as is provided by a BlackBerry. One common feature to the majority of the smartphones is a contact list able to store as many contacts as the available memory permits, in contrast to regular phones that has a limit to the maximum number of contacts that can be stored.
[edit] History
Motorola Q
Apple iPhone
The first smartphone was called Simon; it was designed by IBM in 1992 and shown as a concept product that year at COMDEX, the computer industry trade show held in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was released to the public in 1993 and sold by BellSouth. Besides being a mobile phone, it also contained a calendar, address book, world clock, calculator, note pad, e-mail, send and receive fax, and games. It had no physical buttons to dial with. Instead customers used a touch-screen to select phone numbers with a finger or create facsimiles and memos with an optional stylus. Text was entered with a unique on-screen "predictive" keyboard. By today's standards, the Simon would be a fairly low-end smartphone.
The Nokia Communicator line was the first of Nokia's smartphones starting with the Nokia 9000, released in 1996. This distinctive palmtop computer style smartphone was the result of a collaborative effort of an early successful and expensive PDA model by Hewlett Packard combined with Nokia's bestselling phone around that time and early prototype models had the two devices fixed via a hinge; the Nokia 9210 as the first color screen Communicator model which was the first true smartphone with an open operating system; the 9500 Communicator that was also Nokia's first cameraphone Communicator and Nokia's first WiFi phone; the 9300 Communicator was the third dimensional shift into a smaller form factor; and the latest E90 Communicator includes GPS. The Nokia Communicator model is remarkable also having been the most expensive phone model sold by a major brand for almost the full lifespan of the model series, easily 20% and sometimes 40% more expensive than the next most expensive smartphone by any major manufacturer.
The Ericsson R380 was sold as a 'smartphone' but could not run native third-party applications.[8] Although the Nokia 9210 was arguably the first true smartphone with an open operating system, Nokia continued to refer to it as a Communicator.
In 2001 RIM released the first BlackBerry which was the first smartphone optimized for wireless email use and has achieved a total customer base of 8 million subscribers by June 2007, of which three quarters are in North America.
Although the Nokia 7650, announced in 2001, was referred to as a 'smart phone' in the media, and is now called a 'smartphone' on the Nokia support site, the press release referred to it as an 'imaging phone'.[9][10][11] Handspring delivered the first widely popular smartphone devices in the US market by marrying its Palm OS based Visor PDA together with a piggybacked GSM phone module. By 2002, Handspring was marketing an integrated smartphone called the Treo; the company subsequently merged with Palm primarily because the PDA market was dying but the Treo smartphone was quickly becoming popular as a phone with extended PDA organizer features. That same year, Microsoft announced its Windows CE Pocket PC OS would be offered as "Microsoft Windows Powered Smartphone 2002".[12] Microsoft originally defined its Windows Smartphone products as lacking a touchscreen and offering a lower screen resolution compared to its sibling Pocket PC devices. Palm has since largely abandoned its own Palm OS in favor of licensing Microsoft's WinCE-based operating system now referred to as Windows Mobile, although WinCE and Palm OS together now amount to 10% of the smartphone market.
In 2005 Nokia launched its N-Series of 3G smartphones which Nokia started to market not as mobile phones but as multimedia computers.
Out of 1 billion camera phones to be shipped in 2008, smartphones, the higher end of the market with full email support, will represent about 10% of the market or about 100 million units.[citation needed]
The Smartphone Summit semi-annual conference details smartphone industry market data, trends, and updates among smartphone related hardware, software, and accessories.
Android, a cross platform OS for smartphones was released in 2008.

T-Mobile Dash
Market share of Smartphone operating systems (As of November 2008)
Operating systems that can be found on mobile devices include Symbian OS (45% of market[13]), RIM's BlackBerry (17% [14]), Windows Mobile (12%[15]), Familiar Linux (7.3%[16]), Palm OS (2%[17]), The Ångström Distribution, and the Darwin (iPhone OS) (0.3%[18]). The Open Handset Alliance's Android is a recent smart phone addition touted by Google and T-Mobile (which launched the G1 phone on October 22, 2008). The OHA hopes Android will gain 4% market share by year's end.[19]
The most common operating systems (OS) used in smartphones are in Q3 2008:
Symbian OS from Symbian Ltd. (46,6% Market Share Sales Q3 2008 [20])
Symbian has the largest share in most markets worldwide, but lags behind other companies in the relatively small but highly visible North American market.[21] This matches the success of its largest shareholder[22] and customer, Nokia, in all markets except Japan. Nokia itself enjoys 52.9% of the smartphone market.[23] In Japan Symbian is strong due to a relationship with NTT DoCoMo, with only one of the 44 Symbian handsets released in Japan coming from Nokia.[24] It is used by many major handset manufacturers, including BenQ, LG, Motorola, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson.[25] Various implementations of user interfaces on top of Symbian (most notable being UIQ and Nokia's own S60) are incompatible, which along with the requirement that applications running on mobile phones be signed [26] is hindering the potential for a truly widely accepted mobile application platform. It has received some adverse press attention due to virus threats (actually trojan horses).[27]
iPhone OS from Apple Inc. (17.3% Market Share Sales Q3 2008)
The iPhone (and iPod Touch) use an operating system called iPhone OS, which is derived from Mac OS X. Third party applications were, soon after the release of the iPhone, able to be installed through Installer.app, and was somewhat difficult. After firmware 1.1.1 for the iPhone and the release of the iPod Touch, however, a web service allowed the installation of 3rd party applications. With the release of iPhone OS 2.0 on July 11th 2008, native applications are now available and can be downloaded through the iTunes App Store, although other "jailbreaking" to install 3rd party applications are still available for iPhone OS.
RIM BlackBerry operating system (15.2% Market Share Sales Q3 2008)
This OS is focused on easy operation and was originally designed for business. Recently it has seen a surge in third-party applications and has been improved to offer full multimedia support.
Windows Mobile from Microsoft (13.6% Market Share Sales Q3 2008)
The Windows CE operating system and Windows Mobile middleware are widely spread in Asia. The two improved variants of this operating system, Windows Mobile 6 Professional (for touch screen devices) and Windows Mobile 6 Standard, were unveiled in February 2007. Windows Mobile is enjoying great popularity because of the low barrier to entry for third-party developers to write new applications for the platform[citation needed].
Linux operating system (5.1% Market Share Sales Q3 2008)
Linux is strongest in China where it is used by Motorola, and in Japan, used by DoCoMo.[28][29] Rather than being a platform in its own right, Linux is used as a basis for a number of different platforms developed by several vendors, including Motorola and TrollTech, which are mostly incompatible.[30][31] PalmSource (now Access) is moving towards an interface running on Linux.[32] Another platform based on Linux is being developed by Motorola, NEC, NTT DoCoMo, Panasonic, Samsung, and Vodafone.[33]
Palm OS developed by PalmSource (now a subsidiary of ACCESS)
PalmSource traditionally used its own platform developed by Palm Inc. Access Linux Platform (ALP) is an improvement that was planned to be launched in the first half of 2007. It will use technical specifications from the Linux Phone Standards Forum. The Access Linux Platform will include an emulation layer to support applications developed for Palm-based devices.
Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW)
BREW was developed in the USA by Qualcomm, Inc and is popular in North America. BREW is a mobile application development platform and end-to-end content delivery ecosystem. BREW has recently gained a foothold in Europe via the Three Skypephone offered by network 3.
Android from Google (Released 22 Oct 2008)
Android, which was developed by Google, has yet to own even a small part of the smartphone market because of its recent release date. The OS is currently only on the HTC Dream (G1), running on T-Mobile USA's network. Android was developed as a platform that could be run on many devices. Although the Android operating system may be built to run on many devices, it is run exclusively on T-Mobile's G1 at the moment. Sprint also plans to sell an Android powered phone sometime in February or March of 2009.

OS VERSION FOR POCKET PC
OS versions
Main article: Windows Mobile
Windows Mobile 6.1
Microsoft's current release is Windows Mobile 6.1, one of the major changes from WM6 is the introduction of Instant messaging-like texting. Press release on April 1st 2008. Windows Mobile 6.1 again was built upon Windows CE 5.
Windows Mobile 6
Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6, internally code-named "Crossbow'". It was officially released by Microsoft on February 12, 2007. Windows Mobile 6 was still based on Windows CE 5 and was effectively just a facelift of Windows Mobile 5. With Windows Mobile 6 also came Microsoft's new naming conventions and devices were no longer called Pocket PCs. Windows Mobile Classic would become the name for Pocket PC type devices without phone capabilities and Windows Mobile Professional would be used for devices with phone capabilities.
Windows Mobile 5
Windows Mobile 5 for Pocket PC was based on Windows CE 5 and contained numerous fixes and improvements over Pocket PC 2003 SE.
Pocket PCs running previous versions of the operating system generally stored user-installed applications and data in RAM, which meant that if the battery was depleted the device would lose all of its data. Windows Mobile 5.0 solved this problem by storing all user data in persistent (flash) memory, leaving the RAM to be used only for running applications, as it would be on a desktop computer. As a result, Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PCs generally had a greater amount of flash memory, and a smaller amount of RAM, compared to earlier devices
Windows Mobile 2003
Windows Mobile 2003 consisted of the Windows CE.NET 4.2 operating system bundled with scaled-down versions of many popular desktop applications, including Microsoft Outlook, Internet Explorer, Word, Excel, Windows Media Player, and others.
Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition added native landscape, square screen and VGA support as well as other fixes and changes to those features already present in the original release of Windows Mobile 2003.
Pocket PC 2000 and 2002
Pocket PC 2002 (launched October 2001) and Pocket PC 2000 (launched April 2000) both ran Windows CE 3.0 underneath. Some Pocket PC 2002 devices were also sold as "Phone Editions" which included cell phone functionality in addition to the PDA capabilities. Read More ..

A modern Pocket PC phone
A Pocket PC, abbreviated P/PC or PPC, is a hardware specification for a handheld-sized computer (Personal digital assistant) that runs the Microsoft Windows Mobile operating system. It may have the capability to run an alternative operating system like NetBSD, Linux, Android or others. It has many of the capabilities of modern desktop PCs.
Currently there are thousands of applications for handhelds adhering to the Microsoft Pocket PC specification, many of which are freeware. Some of these devices also include mobile phone features. Microsoft compliant Pocket PCs can also be used with many other add-ons like GPS receivers, barcode readers, RFID readers, and cameras.
In 2007, with the advent of Windows Mobile 6, Microsoft dropped the name Pocket PC in favor of a new naming scheme. Devices without an integrated phone are called Windows Mobile Classic devices instead of Pocket PCs. Devices with an integrated phone and a touch screen are called Windows Mobile Professional devices and devices without a touch screen are called Windows Mobile Standard devices Read More ..

POCKET PC
POCKET PC
Untuk memilio2ki sebuah handphone cancggih selalu mengharuskan kita merogoh kocek cukup dalam. PDA Pocket PC yg harganya mahal juga kebanyakan tidak memiliki fungsi phone.
Selama ini harga PDA Phone & Smartphone selalu berkisar 4 sampai 7 juta, namun kini ada PDA Phone Pocket PC dengan harga yg bahkan lebih murah daripada harga handphone sekalipun.
Tak hanya itu, sistem phone yg digunakan bukan GSM, tapi CDMA yg tentu saja pulsanya murah ala pulsa lokal. Harga Thera yg murah, kinerja & fleksibilitas ala PC, serta pulsa CDMA yg murah tentu akan membuat handphone, PDA, dan bahkan notebook menjadi tak layak dibeli. Benarkah begitu?
Audiovox Thera Verizon merupakan PDA Phone yg berasal dari Amerika, yaitu negara dimana sistem CDMA2000 1X pertama kali dikembangkan.
Verizon merupakan operator CDMA paling besar di Amerika.
Thera kompatibel dengan Flexi dan Fren (StarOne menyusul)
Thera merupakan PDA Phone PocketPC dengan harga termurah di muka bumi.
Untungnya lagi, sistemnya menggunakan CDMA sehingga dapat digunakan sebagai alat komunikasi yg murah meriah.
(Keunggulan CDMA dibanding GSM bisa dibaca di artikel ini)
Karena Thera merupakan PDA dengan operating system Pocket PC 2002 (ala Windows XP), maka anda langsung dapat browsing internet dengan program Internet Explorer yg ada pada PDA Phone ini.
Kecepatan akses internetnya pun 153Kbps, jauh diatas kecepatan GSM GPRS.
Secara feature & kecanggihan teknologi, PDA Phone Pocket PC jelas lebih unggul dibanding Smart Phone.
SmartPhone seperti Sony Ericsson P900 pada dasarnya tetaplah telpon, hanya saja dibekali kemampuan mendekati PDA, sedangkan PDA Pocket PC seperti Thera memiliki kemampuan yg boleh dibilang sama dengan PC. Bahkan boleh dibilang bahwa PDA Pocket PC bisa menggantikan notebook, karena PDA berbasis PocketPC memiliki software-software yg sama seperti PC/notebook. Mulai dari Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, software presentasi seperti PocketShow dan Powerpoint, hingga game-game ala PC yaitu Quake, Doom, Age of Empires, SimCity, dan lain-lain.
Software-software yg umum di PC seperti ACDSee, Photoshop, Powerpoint, Quicken, MS Money, dsb juga ada untuk PocketPC. Jadi jangan takut bila software yg ada di PC anda tidak ada di PocketPC.DOMINASI MICROSOFTSituasinya berbeda dgn PDA/Smartphone berbasis Symbian (Nokia, Sony, Siemens) yg miskin software. Begitu pula PDA berbasis Palm juga memiliki kualitas & jumlah software yg kalah dibanding Pocket PC. Apalagi PDA berbasis Palm boleh dikatakan sedang sekarat akibat dominasi PDA berbasis Microsoft PocketPC. Ini tak lain karena kehebatan dominasi Microsoft sang pencipta PocketPC.
Dilengkapai dengan MP3 remote control, dan craddle untuk sinkronisasi dengan PC
Kebanyakan PDA berbasis PocketPC juga dapat dirubah tampuilannya dari mode potrait ke mode landscape. Jadi masalah layar yg sempit bukan lagi alasan bila anda ingin browsing internet ataupun melihat sheet excel yg lebar.
Perubahan resolusi / tampilan mode dilakukan dgn software (misal NYditot).
Meski demikian, perubahan resolusi pada PocketPC jangan dianggap mutlak sama persis seperti perubahan resolusi di layar monitor. Tapi istilahnya pada PocketPC adalah “condensed resolution” (memampatkan) agar muat di layar.
Sama seperti yg dilakukan software browser Thunderhawk 2.0 adalah memampatkan halaman webpage ke layar 320×240 dgn format 800×600. Sehingga surfing lebih nyaman dgn tampilan serasa di layar lebar PC. Pada browser Thunderhawk, teknik “condensed resulution” dirender di server, jadi enteng buat browsernya sendiri, dan otomatis lebih kompatibel di semua PocketPC.
Beberapa PocketPC baru (Toshiba E800, Ipaq hx4700, Asus A730) juga telah mendukung mode real VGA (640×480), yg benar-benar seperti resolusi seperti di monitor (bukan condensed resolution). Waloupun tentu pengguna tetap bisa melakukan condensed ke berbagai resolusi & mode dengan software. Operating system baru seperi Windows Mobile 2003 SE juga sudah mendukung perubahan tampilan layar ke mode landscape secar on-the-fly. Jadi jelas pengguna PocketPC akan dimanjakan dgn kustomisasi layar.
o2 mini PDA PocketPC yg memiliki fungsi Phone seperti Audiovox Thera membuat segalanya semakin mudah, karena selain bisa untuk menelpon, juga bisa untuk mengetik, membuat laporan keuangan, mendengarkan MP3, menonton movie MPEG/DivX/RealMovie, melakukan image/photo editing, mengirim/ menerima email, hingga browsing internet.
Audiovox Thera bahkan sudah dilengkapi handsfree remote controller MP3 untuk memudahkan anda ketika ingin menikmati lagu-lagu MP3 di perjalanan. Fungsi play, foward, rewind, dan juga phone dapat dilakukan dengan controller ini.
Selain itu dalam paket penjualannya juga disertakan craddle active sync USB. Pada craddle ini juga terdapat jack untuk charger. Hal ini memiliki keuntungan yaitu ketika Thera berada di docking tidak harus selalu sambil di-charge. Kabel sync biasa yg sekaligus men-charge biasanya dapat menyebabkan berkurangnya umur batere.
Karena menggunakan operating system yg sama-sama buatan Microsoft, Sinktronisasi Thera dengan Microsoft Outlook di PC sangat lancar. Anda bisa mensinkronisasi macam-macam data, mulai dari Contacts, Calendar, Files, Task, Internet Explorer Favorite, dsb.
Keunggulan utama dari Windows CE / Pocket PC adalah kompatibilitas dengan Microsoft Windows dalam komunikasi data, penanganan transfer file, sinkronisasi, dan akses database sehingga Pocket PC dengan berbasis Windows CE sudah mulai dipakai pada beberapa PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) terbaru. Source code dan software yang digunakan pada artikel – artikel ini menggunakan Embedded Visual C++ 4.0 dengan Service Pack versi 4.0. Teknik yang akan dibahas adalah teknik dengan asumsi bahwa programmer/anda sudah menguasai pemrograman OOP/Object Oriented Programming dan dasar dari MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class)

TIPS MEMBELI HANDPHONE BEKAS SECOND
TIPS MEMBELI HANDPHONE BEKAS SECOND
* Toko / Counter penjual, dari situ anda bisa lihat bagaimana jumlah produk yang di jual perhatikan di situ jika handphone yang di dalam counter jumlahnya banyak tidak tertata rapi bisa jadi toko itu menampung handphone bekas tidak berkualitas yang dimaksud disini adalah toko tersebut menampung hp yang dijual oleh orang dengan hp yang mungkin bekas servis berat, hp curian, maupun titipan dari counter lain. Ada istilah “ngebom” yaitu orang menjual hp yang rusak kemudian diservis sementara agar normal lagi kemudian di jual ke counter karena menjual hp di conter hingga terjadi transaksi hanya berlangsung +20menit. Lalu counter hanya memeriksa sebentar lalu di pajang di boks counter, tentu saja para calon pembeli yang akan dirugikan.
* Harga, inilah yang menjadi syarat utama membeli hp bekas untuk harga di setiap toko pasti berbeda-beda untuk patokan harga anda bisa lihat di iklan baris lalu samakan dengan harga di toko jika di toko terlalu mahal di banding harga di iklan baris langsung saja bilang “harga anda di atas pasaran” dari situ anda langsung memberi penawaran dengan harga terendah, untuk yang lain sebelum membeli anda bisa survei dari toko satu ke toko bandingkan perbedaannya sesuai tidak dengan kualitas.
* Garansi, ini yang penting apakah itu garansi resmi / garansi toko, cek dulu apakah handphone yang akan anda beli untuk garansi resminya apakah masih berlaku. Garansi toko yang bagus adalah masa garansi 3 bulan.
* Batere, ini yang menjadi momok dalam membeli handphone bekas, batere menjadi drop (lowbat). Ada trik untuk mengetahui batere tersebut masih bagus apa tidak pertama perhatikan permukaan batere apakah rata/tidak?. Jika tidak rata (menggelembung) itu berarti batere sudah uzur harus di ganti. Yang kedua adalah memainkan menu suara, ringtone, call, getar, mp3, jika kita memainkan menu itu dalam 2-5 menit jika indikator tanda batere penuh lalu anda memainkan menu dan tiba-tiba ada tulisan batere lemah maka ketahuan batere itu sudah soak.
* LCD, ini juga penting karena bagian ini suku cadangnya lumayan mahal. Walau banyak yang murah tapi kualitasnya jelek. Trik untuk mengetahui qualitas LCD masih bagus /tidak bisa anda cek dengan melihat permukaan LCD dari samping kanan kiri tasa bawah jika warna LCD agak gelap atau permukaan LCD ada bercak hitam tidak merata seperti gosong berarti LCD tersebut qualitasnya jelek dan bekas di servis. Ada cara lain melihat qualitas LCD yaitu dengan menekan bagian luar atas dan bawah bingkai LCD jika di tekan lalu lepas perhatikan apakah di layar menu tetap utuh atau sudah buram.
* Lihat bodi di dalam, lihatlah permukaan mika bening di keypad perhatikan di baut penutup apakah terlihat retak /masih mulus?
* Segel, ini penting lihat apakah segel hologram nokia masih terpasang atau sudah dilepas jika sudah terlepas atau tidak ada lagi, berarti hp tersebut pernah di servis.
* Signal sinyal, merupakan nyawa dari sebuah handphone banyak kasus di hp nokia adalah tejadi no signal kerusakan sinyal untuk penggantian sparepart-nya saja sekitar 200ribu. Namun banyak diakali dengan diservis dengan cara mengangkat sinyal tersebut untuk sementara waktu lalu di jual. Untuk mengecek sinyal ada cara yang ampuh yaitu menggunakan kartu SIMPATI jika menggunakan simpati jika sinyal terlihat naik turun terlalu lama mungkin sinyal sudah bobrok. Karena Sinyal simpati sangat mudah ditangkap di banding kartu lain.
* Kardus pembungkus dan buku panduan, cocokkan apakah dus itu benar-benar dus yang sesuai dengan handphone yang tertera. Untuk mencocokkan antara dus dan handphone bisa dilihat dari no IMEI yang tertera di balik batere dan di sampng dus cocokan apakah nomornya sama. Jika berbeda bisa jadi itu handphone curian.
Sebenarnya tips-tips yang lain masih ada, namun di sini saya menulis yang inti-intinya saja agar ketika anda ingin membeli handphone bekas bisa mendapatkan barang yang tidak mengecewakan walupun ada garansi dari toko. Namun di sini kualitas tetap no 1 yang kita perhatikan. Semoga Berguna..Bo…..BE a SMART….

Yang kedua adalah memainkan menu suara, ringtone, call, getar, mp3, jika kita memainkan menu itu dalam 2-5 menit jika indikator tanda batere penuh lalu anda memainkan menu dan tiba-tiba ada tulisan batere lemah maka ketahuan batere itu sudah soak.
* LCD, ini juga penting karena bagian ini suku cadangnya lumayan mahal. Walau banyak yang murah tapi kualitasnya jelek. Trik untuk mengetahui qualitas LCD masih bagus /tidak bisa anda cek dengan melihat permukaan LCD dari samping kanan kiri tasa bawah jika warna LCD agak gelap atau permukaan LCD ada bercak hitam tidak merata seperti gosong berarti LCD tersebut qualitasnya jelek dan bekas di servis. Ada cara lain melihat qualitas LCD yaitu dengan menekan bagian luar atas dan bawah bingkai LCD jika di tekan lalu lepas perhatikan apakah di layar menu tetap utuh atau sudah buram.
* Lihat bodi di dalam, lihatlah permukaan mika bening di keypad perhatikan di baut penutup apakah terlihat retak /masih mulus?
* Segel, ini penting lihat apakah segel hologram nokia masih terpasang atau sudah dilepas jika sudah terlepas atau tidak ada lagi, berarti hp tersebut pernah di servis.
* Signal sinyal, merupakan nyawa dari sebuah handphone banyak kasus di hp nokia adalah tejadi no signal kerusakan sinyal untuk penggantian sparepart-nya saja sekitar 200ribu. Namun banyak diakali dengan diservis dengan cara mengangkat sinyal tersebut untuk sementara waktu lalu di jual. Untuk mengecek sinyal ada cara yang ampuh yaitu menggunakan kartu SIMPATI jika menggunakan simpati jika sinyal terlihat naik turun terlalu lama mungkin sinyal sudah bobrok. Karena Sinyal simpati sangat mudah ditangkap di banding kartu lain.
* Kardus pembungkus dan buku panduan, cocokkan apakah dus itu benar-benar dus yang sesuai dengan handphone yang tertera. Untuk mencocokkan antara dus dan handphone bisa dilihat dari no IMEI yang tertera di balik batere dan di sampng dus cocokan apakah nomornya sama. Jika berbeda bisa jadi itu handphone curian.
Sebenarnya tips-tips yang lain masih ada, namun di sini saya menulis yang inti-intinya saja agar ketika anda ingin membeli handphone bekas bisa mendapatkan barang yang tidak mengecewakan walupun ada garansi dari toko. Namun di sini kualitas tetap no 1 yang kita perhatikan. Semoga Berguna..Bo…..BE a SMART….

Opera Mini 4 Beta 2
Opera Mini 4 Beta 2 (Plus info on new Java Midlet Manager) Updated: 09/08/07
Introduction:
Alrighty, I've been playing with the recently released new Beta 2 of Opera Mini 4. One of the, if not best, web browser available for Windows Mobile devices. This is not the same as the Windows Mobile native application Opera Mobile. Opera Mobile is nicer than Opera Mini in a few ways (supports tabs/downloading of files). But in most ways Opera Mini is superior (Much faster rendering engine, dynamic zoom, renders most web pages just like a desktop browser, and completely free). Hopefully this will change when Opera 9 comes out, but the current available version of Opera Mobile (8.65 Beta) is inferior in many ways to Opera Mini.
A New Java Midlet Manager (Jbed):
Opera Mini is designed to run on Java phones. Luckily HTC was kind enough to include a Java Midlet manager on the HTC Mogul, which runs Opera Mini quite nicely.
However, in the course of doing some research I found out that xda-developers.com forum member Cloudyfa has released Esmertec's Java Midlet Manager Jbed version 20070802.2.1, available here. The Java Midlet manager built into the Mogul is Esmertec Jeodek. According to Windows Mobile expert Menneisyys, Jbed is much better (more info on Windows Mobile Java Midlets here). This version installs fine on the Mogul (in main memory). Here's some pluses with using this new Java Midlet manager.
1.) Runs side by side with existing Midlet Manager (.exe name is different, it's "\windows\jbed.exe" instead of "\windows\jeodek.exe").
2.) Runs using the same Midlet install base as Jeodek. So anything installed in Jeodek is also installed in Jbed, and vice versa.
3.) Faster!
4.) Full screen (Opera Mini looks great in full screen)!
5.) Unlike Jeodek, properly runs the Google GMail Midlet, without certificate errors!
6.) Uses and obeys any proxies you have defined in your connection profile! (More info here)
Installing Opera Mini:
1.) On your device open up Pocket Internet Explorer and navigate to http://mini.opera.com/beta.
2.) Scroll down and tap on the "Download high memory version" link to start the install process.
Making a direct shortcut to Opera Mini (or any other Java Midlet)
Since Opera Mini is a Java Midlet application, one annoying aspect is that to run Opera Mini, you must first run the Java Midlet, tap on the "Applications" list item, then tap on the "Opera Mini 4 beta" item. Luckily, some industrious users out there have figured out how to create a shortcut that launches Opera Mini (or any other Java app) directly. Assuming you haven't installed any other Java apps, you need to create a shortcut file (e.g., opera.lnk) pointing to ("\windows\jeodek.exe" -run s1_), or ("\windows\jbed.exe -run s1_"), if using Jbed instead.
The magic portion is the number after the the letter "s" in the shortcut target. This is the list position of the Java Midlet in the Jeodek/Jbed application list. If you install Jeodek/Jbed as a fresh install (non Mogul users), and then directly install Opera Mini, just use the number "0" to refer to Opera Mini ("\windows\jbed.exe -run s0_"). If you install another MIDlet (after Opera Mini), its index will become 1, then the next installed Midlet will have an index of 2, and so on.
Locating the number that corresponds to a Java Midlet
To find which number corresponds to an installed Java Midlet, navigate to the (windows\appdb) folder. There should be some .jar files in there, with one of them being the Opera Mini jar file (or other Java Midlet you wish to target). Whatever the number is after the letter "s", is the number needed in your shortcut link. Only the first part of the file name of the midlet is needed, so lets say, in the appdb folder, you have "s0_suite.jar", for your shortcut target, leave out the suite.jar, and only put "s0_", so your shortcut should point to ("\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_), NOT ("\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_suite.jar). A pre-made shortcut file can be found here.
Creating/Modifying Shortcuts on Your Mobile Device
The following lists a couple of ways to create edit/create shortcuts with parameters on a mobile device.
1.) Use the excellent shareware application, Resco Explorer (the method I personally use, and find the easiest).
2.) Create the shortcut manually using any text editor. Shortcuts have the file extension ".lnk". So, for example, lets create a file in a text editor, and save it with the file name OperaMini.lnk, the contents of the file should look similar to this :
Code:
28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_
28# means that the shortcut target, including the parameter (-run s0_) is 28 characters.
Note: A forum user has reported that the freeware application, Total Commander does NOT create the shortcut properly.
After you have created/named the shortcut, all that is left to do is to place the shortcut file in your start menu (\windows\start menu\programs) folder.
Skipping the Connection Permission Prompt (Only applies to JBed)
One of the only negatives of using Jbed, over Jeodek, used to be that any time an application wanted to access to the Internet, Jbed would ask twice if you want to allow the action. It will also forget this permission next time you ran the application, so you would have to give permission every time you ran a Midlet that tried to access the Internet. Thanks to forum user g-funkster, a work around for this annoyance has been found!
1.) Copy the file \windows\appdb\selector.utf to your PC (make sure backup this file first in case something goes wrong!)
2.) Remove read-only attribute
3.) Open the file with a hex editor, and find the line
Code:
domain=untrusted, \
Replace the text untrusted with the text tckmax. Add space characters between the x (in tckmax) and the comma (otherwise connection warnings or a nullpointerexception error may occur). The above line may appear multiple times in the "selector.utf" file, each corresponds to a different Java Midlet you have installed in JBed.
If hex editing is too blackhat for you, g-funkster has created a desktop application that can do this for you automatically! You can find it here.
Personal Review:
The new beta of Opera Mini seems faster, more stable, has better image quality, fixes a bug where I kept loosing my cookies, and it renders pages more accurately.
Tips:
*One of the new features of Beta 2 is better image rending quality. By default, at least for me, this was off. To turn it on go to Menu->Tools->Settings menu item, and check "Higher image quality". Then tap on the "Save" menu item, located in the lower left hand corner. There's a note on the settings page that says turning on the "Higher image Quality" option doubles the amount of transferred data, on EVDO networks I did not notice a speed difference, but I did notice that images do look a lot better now!
*Keyboard numbers 2, 8, 4, 6 for panning Up, Down, Left and Right, respectively.
*Keyboard number 5 for zoom in and zoom out.
*Keyboard * to go to full screen
Known Issues:
* No bold font in medium font setting, at least for me
* Some are still experiencing some cookie save issues, though for me they seemed solved in Jbed/Opera Mini 4 Beta 2.
Running Opera Mini in Landscape:
One of the setting options in Opera Mini is to run the application in "landscape". I recommend not using this setting. I find it's more reliable to set your windows mobile device screen in landscape orientation before launching Opera Mini rather than using Opera Mini's "landscape" mode. Opera Mini's version of "landscape" mode also awkwardly places Opera's menus on left side of the screen instead of at the bottom, as it does in portrait mode. Sliding the the Mogul's keyboard in and out tends to mess up the screen rendering/size of Opera Mini, forcing a restart of the application to fix it.
I find a lot of times that I want to run Opera Mini in landscape mode, but I don't want to have the keyboard slid out. And placing my screen in landscape orientation requires a bunch of taps and navigation that I find annoying. In response to this problem, I have created a MortScript script that asks the user if they wish to rotate the screen to landscape mode before directly launching Opera Mini in the Esmertec's Jbed Java Midlet Manager. If you chose to run in Landscape mode, the script also reverts back to portrait mode after you exit Opera Mini. You can edit the script in any text editor to fit your needs. Place the script or a shortcut to the script on your start menu, to make launching Opera Mini in landscape mode as easy as two quick taps!

8 Cara Atasi Pocket PC Lambat
8 Cara Atasi Pocket PC Lambat
Keluhan yang paling diungkapkan pengguna Pocket PC adalah lambatnya kinerja saat mengakses dari satu menu ke menu lain (multitasking). Kondisi ini juga semakin diperparah dengan adanya bug dalam system operasi pocket PC sehingga kita harus melakukan softreset minimal dua hari sekali.
Fakta membuktikan dalam sehari saja pocket PC anda tidak di soft reset, maka PPC anda akan terasa lambat. Jika dianalogikan maka apabila dalam 2×24 jam saja anda tidak melakukan softreset, sama halnya anda tidak mandi dalam dua hari. Kebayang nggak?
Lantas bagaimana solusinya? Sebagian orang mungkin akan menyarankan anda untuk melakukan upgrade, sementara sebagian lain justru lebih suka mencari solusi mudah yakni mencari penyebab lemot untuk selanjutnya meminimalisir sebisa mungkin. Sebelum lebih jauh mungkin ada sedikit penjelasan tentang kinerja, Prosesor TI OMAP adalah tipe yang paling banyak digunakan entah itu IPAQ atau Nokia. Pada Ipaq, dukungan processor TI-OMAP terbilang lambat, terlebih bila kita membandingkan dengan PDA/Smartphone berbasis Symbian (Nokia, Sony, Siemens) yg miskin software.
baterai.jpg
Begitu pula PDA berbasis Palm juga memiliki kualitas & jumlah software yg kalah dibanding Pocket PC. Apalagi PDA berbasis Palm boleh dikatakan sedang sekarat akibat dominasi PDA berbasis Microsoft PocketPC. Ini tak lain karena kehebatan dominasi Microsoft sang pencipta PocketPC. Berikut ini beberapa trik untuk mengatasi kinerja PPC yang lambat. Namun trik ini bukan untuk menyarankan anda untuk melakukan upgrade atau overclocking
* Processor Overheating
Main Game pada pocket PC memang cukup menarik, sebab selain tampilan layer yang lebar, jumlah game yang support windows mobile cukup banyak. Artinya nggak kalah dengan handheld game sekelas N-Gage sekalipun. Umumnya game pada pocket PC memiliki file yang berukuran besar sehingga tampilannya juga sangat besar.Memainkan game terlalu lama juga menyebabkan processor akan mudah panas. Sehingga pada saat temperatur prosesor meningkat melampaui batas, maka sistem akan melambat dan proses akan berjalan lambat. Jika hal ini terjadi sebaiknya anda berhenti bermain game. Kondisi fatal akan terjadi bila anda memaksakan untuk tetap bermain game. Diamkan beberapa menit, kemudian lakukan softreset
* Multitasking
instalasi-3.jpg
Seringkali kita lupa saat mengakses suatu menu, misalnya memainkan MP3, sembari berSMS, sementara browser IE yang kita gunakan untuk mengakses situs, dalam keadaan OFFLINE. Nah..kondisi ini tanpa kita sadari akan mempengaruhi kinerja kita sebab RAM akan dipaksa kerja lebih berat ketika multitasking.
* Cookies
Dalam sebuah Internet, kita mengenal Cookies, yang akan membantu website untuk mengingat siapa kita dan meng-set preference yang sesuai, sehingga jika kita kembali mengunjungi web site itu, maka browser kita akan langsung dikenali. Fungsi lainnya, cookies akan membantu kita untuk menghilangkan fungsi register ketika kita mengakses sebuah web site, cookies akan membantu kita meng-log-in ke dalam web server tersebut.Keberadaan cookies ini pada dasarnya sangat membantu, namun jika terlalu banyak maka memberatkan system kita.Sebaiknya non aktifkan cookies-nya
* Storage Card yang Buruk
Menyimpan aplikasi atau data memang dianjurkan untuk meletakkannya di Storage card. Hal ini dilakukan agar RAM pada pocket PC lebih leluasa dalam mengelola file. Perlu dipisahkan juga, bila anda menginstal aplikasi yang berhubungan dengan desktop, sebaiknya menempatkannya dalam folder : system. Sebab bila ditempatkan pada Storage, maka kerjanya akan lambat. Apalagi bila storage card anda berkapasitas besar dengan aplikasi yang berjibun.
test1-6.jpg
Ingat!! kecepatan membaca data RAM lebih cepat jika ketimbang harddisk/Memori Card, karena RAM hanya dipakai untuk menyimpan sementara (temporer) file-file program yang terinstal dari C://system atau E:// systemIdealnya, untuk pocket PC dengan system operasi windows 2003 SE, sebaiknya cukup membekali dengan 512MB sementara untuk Magneto bisa sampai 1GB.
Jika dipaksakan 2GB, maka jangan mengeluh bila multitasking anda akan terasa lambat. Jangan sesekali melakukan defrag pada Storage Card (MMC/SD/Micro SD) sebab akan merusak sector yang terdapat pada cluster memori.
* Virus
Ancaman Virus pada Pocket PC memang sudah mulai ditebar oleh pembuat virus. Namun yang masuk ke Indonesia masih belum dianggap ancaman, masih terlalu dini bagi pengguna pocket PC di Indonesia untuk khawatir. Yang pasti ancaman pengguna Pocket PC justru datang dari virus computer. Kok bisa? Hal ini bisa terjawab ketika storage card anda sering keluar masuk card reader atau sinkronisasi dengan PC yang terinfeksi virus. Virus dalam Memory card ini memang tidaklah mengganggu kinerja pocket PC, namun karena sifat virus yang suka menggandakan diri, dan mengobrak-abrik file anda, maka kinerja MMC anda akan menjadi buruk.
* Non Aktifkan Animasi pada Menu Windows
regedit.jpg
Mematikan semua file animasi juga bisa membuat pocket PC anda sedikit lebih cepat. Hal ini disebabkan karena animasi, selalu berhubungan dengan VGA dan RAM. Sebisa mungkin, jangan menginstal aplikasi grafis yang umumnya berada di layar desktop. Kita bisa mengganti registry untuk menonaktifkan animasi. Sebelumnya install terlebih dahulu aplikasi PHM RegEdit untuk memodifikasi registry. Masuk ke : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM\GWE\Menu -> Kemudian ganti value “AniType dari 6 (default) menjadi 0.7.
* Mungurangi Cache pada Display
Tips lain yang berguna untuk mempercepat kinerja adalah dengan cara mengurangi cache pada layar display. Sekedar mengingatkan, cache dalam kamus Wikipedia (disebut sebagai kăsh) adalah pengumpulan salinan data kepada nilai asal yang disimpan di tempat lain. Jika anda menghapus cache, maka akan meringankan kerja system memori. Nah..untuk menghapus cache saat internet, anda bisa masuk ke internet option dan clear cache. Sementara bila cache itu berhubungan dengan layar, maka kita bisa menghapusnya melalui registry editor. Caranya, masuk : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE.-> Ubah value limit dari 8192 (default) menjadi 16384 atau 32768.8.
* Running Program
Jika anda tidak menyadari, saat anda menekan tombol close(x) maka sebenarnya aplikasi tersebut masih sedang berjalan. Yang perlu anda lakukan adalah masuk ke memory dan menutupnya satu persatu. Sebab jika running program ini terlalu banyak, maka akan memperlambat kerja pocket PC anda. Alangkah lebih baik bila anda membekali pocket PC dengan program utility yang bisa menutup running program dari desktop misalnya BatMemTime.

Instalasi Aplikasi dan Games di PocketPC
Instalasi Aplikasi/Games di PocketPC
Pocket PC tidak jauh beda dengan PC karena menggunakan sistem operasi windows. Install dan uninstall program dibagi dalam tiga kategori.
Menggunakan Komputer
Semisal file *.exe sebagian besar software pada Windows Mobile diinstall melalui Active Sync (Software sinkronisasi khusus untuk pocket PC).
1. Install Active Sync pada PC kemudian double klik pada Windows desktop.
2. Pasang Pocket PC ke dalam cradle-nya, jalankan Active Sync.
3. Ketika Active Sync sudah terhubung. Klik file Exe yang akan diinstall ke Pocket PC. Active Sync akan menanyakan apakah anda akan menginstall pada default directory? Klik Yes jika anda tidak memiliki storage card. Jika anda memiliki storage card, klik no dan pilih directory yang akan anda tentukan.
4. Kemudian menunggu hingga ada tanda bahwa aplikasi sukses terinstal.
