Experiencing some problems with the SMTP functionality of POP or IMAP accounts on your windows mobile device?

This behavior is associated with a feature that is introduced in Windows Mobile 6.1. The feature allows for mobile operators to specify an alternate SMTP server name that is used if e-mail messages cannot be sent by using the user-specified SMTP server name. If the mobile operator does not specify an alternate SMTP server name and if the Windows Mobile 6.1-based device does not connect, the e-mail account is corrupted and cannot send e-mail messages.

If you’re using Google Toolbar 5 for Internet Explorer (or Toolbar’s Firefox version), you can add the Gmail custom button to make your life easier. With the Gmail button, you can get new message alerts, see previews of your mail and use Toolbar’s search box to find any message no matter what page you’re on.

Google Toolbar also has a “Send to” feature: when you click on the “Send to” icon, a Gmail compose window opens that automatically includes a link to the page you’re currently on and any text you have highlighted on that page. This makes it easy to email your friends interesting pages you come across as you browse the web. Continue reading “Google Toolbar – make your life easier”

First we had news of Touch HD’s TouchFlo3D working on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 and now someone has been able to run Xperia’s panels on the HTC Touch HD. This is a great news for the HTC Touch HD folks as now, they too can have the best of both worlds just like Xperia X1.

According to harvsingh (at xda-devs), who has made this possible says that he has found the ‘frontend’ a lot better than the TouchFlo3D interface. He has also posted a proof-of-concept video. You can see the video below.

I guess, most of you must have never heard of Red Fox Netbooks. This is probably because they are sold only in Philippines. Anyway, they have been upgraded with an Atom Processor and larger display now. Look how similar is it as compared to ASUS EEE 1000H (specification wise too!)

Here are the specs of Red Fox Wizbook:

• 10.2″ display screen (1024×600 pixel)
• Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz
• 1 GB RAM
• 80 GB SATA HDD
• 1.3MP webcam
• WiFi 802.11 b/g
• Built-in Stereo Speakers
• LAN Slot RJ-45
• Card Reader SD/MMC/MS

It comes with just 4000maH battery which should provide you battery life of around 2-2.5 hours.

There are rumors that the partnership for Netbooks and MIDs between VIA and NVIDIA are now over.

It would have been great if the deal between the VIA and NVIDIA was successful. It could have given rise to netbooks with powerful GPUs. Running more powerful Operating system and games would also have been possible.

Some people say that Sidekick is for the kid and T-Mobile G1 is for the grown up user. Hardware wise (as-well-as software wise), you cannot even get close to T-Mobile G1, but no one can stop you from faking your Sidekick that it runs Android.
