Download it for free only for today (Dec 21, 2008)

SeeqPod is a notorious application for Windows Mobile, which was so far available for the Desktop PC only. What this application does is that it finds the music from all over the Internet and streams it in a very sleek and user-friendly interface. Does it works? Yeah!

Installation

You have two ways to download it:

• point your IE mobile web browser on your device to http://seeqpod.com and you will be taken to the download page. Note that you must be using the default browser string in order for the seeqpod website to know that you are on a mobile browser.
• get the installation link via email

When you start the application, it gives you a nice list of songs from all genres. I selected “2008 singles of the year” and it loaded them to the playlist. It also comes with a nifty search function. This is the most powerful function of this software. I searched for my all time favorite “Rev Theory” and I was impressed with the results. You can learn more about the artist/music group as it also enlists the related wikipedia article. The article opens in IE mobile and loads the respective wikipedia webpage.

Note that all the screenshots are done in VGA. You may click on them to view the full resolution screenshot.

It also comes with a very finger friendly music player. The player is skinnable and colors are also changeable. Continue reading “SeeqPod for Windows Mobile released and reviewed!”

Paul at Modaco has made a custom ROM in which he has integrated IE mobile 6. Though Microsoft said that the IE mobile 6 won’t be available as separate download for the current devices, ROM cookers have found ways of streamlining it inside the ROM itself.

And since this is a ROM upgrade, it will wipe out all of your current data. So, make sure that you do a backup before doing the upgrade.
