HP brings 3G goodness to mini 1000

Gone are the days when we just wanted to take our computer with us. Now, we want to be always connected too. So far, most of the UMPCs have come with 3G/HSDPA in-built but very few netbook manufactures have come up with 3G-enabled netbook. HP has now included the option to add 3G to their current models.

But, the 3G radio is not going to come for cheap. It will add $199 to the price too! Click here to visit HP’s mini 1000 (official) page

My dream came true with SBSH Calendar Touch. This superbly designed application follows the latest trend: making everything finger-friendly so that you don’t have to take the stylus out ever while using it.

Google never leaves a chance to surprise us. It has unvieled the Dev Phone 1, which is fully SIM unlocked, which means that you are not bound to use the T-mobile SIM.  Also, it is hardware unlocked which means that the bootloader is not locked and can use custom bootloaders in the future, if required. Also, it would let you use custom builds of Android.

However, in order to get one of these, you must register yourself as a Android developer at the Android market place, which requires a $25 setup fee too. Shipping is free, if you live in US. It is also projected to be shipped to 18 countries!

Web Video Downloader Review

update: review has updated as-well-as screenshots according to the changes made in new version (0.0.16.0)

As far as my knowledge goes, there is not a single windows mobile application that lets you download or view videos directly EXCEPT this one: WEB VIDEO DOWNLOADER.

Since the application is still in beta stage, the developer(Jm81) has a elegant interface with the buttons at the bottom. Clicking on the magnifying glass brings up a new window containing the list of websites. Note that all the screenshots are in VGA. Just click on them to see full size screenshot.

It supports a variety of video websites including the little naughty ones :!: Yes, you read it right. The videos can be displayed in “Grid View” or in “List View”

You can download the video by clicking on the button shown in the following screenshot. You can also stream the video directly. Also, you can download the video by selecting download from the Action menu. Whenever you click on the view or download button, it also asks you if you would like to download/view the normal quality(flv) version or high quality(mp4) version.

It also provides a bunch of options when downloading a video like where you wish to save the video including the name of the folder. You also have the option to the save the file or just download the M3U and PLS.

Now, let us take a quick glance at the configurable options of WVD. If you don’t like porn, you can tell the WVD not to enlist the porn sites. There is also a new feature called “invisible scroller”. This feature lets you scroll just by dragging your fingers up and down.

Final verdict

The WVD is the only way to directly download videos from various websites. The WVD is easy to use for anyone thanks to it’s simple interface and rich featuers. The best part of WVD is that the author has made it available for free.

You can also donate to the application developer to support him. His paypal link is given in his signature.
