  JGUI has brought the look of Windows Vista to Windows Mobile smartphones with their new interface. Sure, Vista isn’t exactly the most popular operating system in the world…but it does look pretty. The interface replaces your homescreen with a gadget filled sidebar. You can download it here (for free) for your WM6 handset.

SlingPlayer updates to support WindowsMobile 6
Added on 2007-06-21 10:35:00
by Randall Bennett
 In case you've already made the jump to WinMo six, you probably noticed your Sling client wasn't working as great as you'd have hoped (or not at all.) Fear not, SlingBox user, the folks at Sling Media rolled out an update to fix your woes and improve the software. The new version adds support for additional A/V devices, changes up the interface a bit and of course, the requisite bug fixes are in place. Head to SlingMedia's site for the download, and due to their whacky registration proceedure, you'll have to give them a call to get a new registration code for Windows Mobile 6, even if you've already bought the software. If you're not a customer, you can get a free 30-day trial, or buy the software for $30, but it requires that you also own a SlingBox.
If you've got a media center PC, let us be the first to encourage you to give Orb a look. Orb is free, and works similarly to SlingBox, except did we mention it's free?

T-Mobile Wing review goes live
Added on 2007-06-06 13:21:00
by Randall Bennett
 Our review of the T-Mobile Wing just hit the main site, and our tests found some pretty interesting results. The phone actually just took the crown as the top rated phone in our tests because the battery life is absolutely stellar.
14 hours of talk time. 10 and a half hours of music playback. Nine hours of web browsing.
Not kidding.
The battery life may be stellar, but anyone looking for an excellent camera might want to look elsewhere. Despite spec'ing at two megapixels, we found that the camera didn't beat the 1.3-megapixel cameras in either the Motorola Q or T-Mobile Dash.
Put the bad camera with a seemingly laggy interface and you might want to give the phone a go in person before you plunk down that cash. This is the first phone we've tested with WinMo 6, and it does sport the same 200MHZ processor as other HTC devices, so we're not sure if it's T-Mobile's custom software lagging the device or if WinMo 6 is just heavier. Either way, read the full review here.

 Get excited TV enthusiasts! SlingMedia is now offering a beta version of software compatible with Windows Mobile 6. Previously Sling's software wasn't compatible with WM6 much to the dismay of Sling users who were using the OS.

Methinks You Doth Protest Too Much
Added on 2007-04-28 01:29:00
by Rusty Weiss
 Amidst a current social landscape where protests are a staple of just about any event, we have some disgruntled HTC and Orange customers starting a petition.
The gripe involves the HTC P3600 and Orange SPV M700 being overlooked for inclusion in a Windows Mobile 6 upgrade. With five other HTC models receiving the upgrade, users of the aforementioned models are feeling left out in the cold.
One particular customer isn’t going to take it any more. Xboss, on the::unwired forum, has had enough of their ignored phone calls, and like a scorned lover, decided to become a tad obsessive. They have started a petition to put HTC and Orange on notice. The goal is to attain roughly 1000 signatures.

Palm Confirms Rumor - the Treo 750 Will Be WM6 Enabled
Added on 2007-03-26 20:01:00

 Late today, the team at Palm has confirmed the rumors that the Treo 750 will receive an update to Windows Mobile 6 during 2007. A sneak peek at a press release scheduled for tomorrow's wire provided by a Palm spokesman also indicates that Cingular/AT&T Treo customers will have an upgrade to HSDPA (High Speed Down-link Packet Access) technology as well. This will provide much greater download speeds for data users over the new 3G networks.
Windows Mobile 6 promises users that they will be able to maximize the benefits of new, mobile versions of traditional Microsoft applications such as Word, Outlook, Excel and Powerpoint. This new release will enable HTML-formatted emails through integration with the MS Exchange Server 2007 as well as live links to Microsoft Sharepoint documents. Additional security enhancements, integration with Windows Live, and the ability to send emails using Microsoft's Direct Push Technology are more reasons that this release has been so eagerly anticipated. And the large, vibrant Treo screen is the perfect showcase for this technology!
The Palm Treo 750 is already a sweet phone, and it just got sweeter with this news. Who needs a laptop computer anymore?
No estimated dates for this release were given by the Palm team - only that it would be happening in 2007.
