Apple's MobileMe has not been as reliable as hoped for and is specific to the Apple iPhone. Nokia is getting into the game of consumer-focused backup/synchronization by offering services through their Ovi initiative. The latest module to be added to Ovi is Sync that syncs your calendar, contacts...

The Nokia S60 Nseries and Eseries devices are incredible mobile devices, but the email client is very basic and has a rather plain look and feel to it (aka BlackBerry look). The default Messaging client does a poor job with hyperlinks, doesn't display my messages forwarded from other services, and...

There are full navigation and routing programs available for S60 and Windows Mobile that I use for major trips, but for quick positioning and some trips I just fire up the Google Maps for Mobile application on these devices. Google just released an update that adds transit directions to these mobile...

I first had a chance to use the upcoming version of Opera Mobile 9.5 at Mobile World Congress on a SE UIQ device and since then I posted my full review and experiences using Opera Mobile 9.5 on the HTC Advantage X7510 and on the HTC Touch Diamond. It is one of the most anticipated mobile software applications...

As regular readers know, I spend more time on my mobile phones than I do on a PC or notebook computer so being able to use my devices without connecting them to a computer is important to me. In the past, I have always had to make sure I had a Windows PC around to update my Windows Mobile or Nokia phones...

It was only a month ago that I mentioned the release of Opera Mini 4.1 beta and today I received the announcement that the full release of Opera Mini 4.1 is now available to download and install for free. It is so good that it has now earned a place as the right soft key on all of my Nokia S60 devices...

My plan was to post software reviews here every Monday, but at times my schedule and life doesn't allow me to give a full test of a software package and write up my thoughts so I missed last week. Thus, I am posting a double review this week on Mobile software Monday. The first application is HanDBase...

Mondays are usually a bit slow for news, so today I am kicking off my software reviews with the first "Mobile software Monday" article. The first title I checked out is WorldMate from MobiMate. I checked it out on my Nokia N95-3 (S60 device), T-Mobile Shadow (Windows Mobile Smartphone), and...

Michael Mace posted an article on his Mobile Opportunity blog that put me in a bit of a sad mood to start off my Monday morning. I realize my mobile usage is out of the norm, but I personally have a ton of 3rd party applications loaded on all my devices and find them to be extremely useful, fun, and...

S60 will be adding touch to their platform this year with the first devices scheduled for late 2008. I had a chance to check out the S60 interface that was running on a PC. While touch is probably necessary since the iPhone, Microsoft and Symbian UIQ all have it, I have to say it is not that exciting...

While Nokia made a few device announcements, they also announced a few upgraded and new service offerings. One that I plan to load very soon on my S60 Nseries devices is the upgraded Nokia Maps 2.0. One of the primary features that I personally cannot wait to try out and that I was happy to see is the...

It looks like Mobile World Congress 2008 is shaping up to be quite an event with rumors of Windows Mobile 6.1, demos of S60's touch UI, and lots of software and services. Opera just announced that Opera Mobile 9.5 will be available for trials at MWC 08 in Barcelona. I use Opera 8.5 on the HTC Advantage...
