Opera's Web Browser Now Available for Windows Mobile 2003 Sm
Posted: Tong Zhang @ Thu Jun 30, 2005 11:17 am
Opera Software today released the latest version of the Opera Web browser, Opera 8, for Windows Mobile, finally enabling Smartphone users to surf the Web with speed and ease on their mobile devices. Opera's deployment to Microsoft's Windows Mobile platform is a result of customers' and operators' demand for a fast and full-featured Web browser on Windows Mobile devices.
Two technical previews of the Opera Web browser for Windows Mobile 2003 Smartphone were released in autumn 2004. The previews were enthusiastically received by 120,000 end-users who downloaded, tested and provided valuable feedback. Opera 8 for Windows Mobile is based on Opera's latest core technology, proving that Opera's embedded deliveries are in synch with desktop browser developments.
Opera 8 for Windows Mobile offers Smartphone users more speed, smooth usability and rich content display as they access the full Internet, creating a Web experience unlike any other available for these devices. The browser supports all major Web standards, including CSS2, DOM 2 and JavaScript. Based on Opera's new core code, Opera 8 for Windows Mobile also includes the latest version of Opera's unique Small-Screen Rendering (TM) which dynamically reformats Web pages to fit the width of any screen, eliminating the need for horizontal scrolling.

MobileTechReview is reporting that Sierra Wireless announced today that it plans to exit its Voq Professional Phone initiative and that it is shifting some Voq resources to its core PC Card and Embedded Modules business.
"These actions are designed to focus the company on the core areas of our business where we have extensive experience and a well established market position. We believe that both the PC Card and Embedded Module markets represent significant growth opportunities with the highest potential returns in our portfolio. Our goal is to ensure that we have a strong, sustainable leadership position in these areas," said David Sutcliffe, President and CEO of Sierra Wireless. "We have enjoyed limited success to date on the Voq Professional Phone and have concluded that continuing to proceed with Voq is no longer the best use of our resources, given our other opportunities. We will now seek the most effective exit, whether by divestiture or by termination of the initiative."

Our friends at OmniSoft let us know they have started the public beta program for their new Smartphone software John Cody's Alerts!
Here is the detailed information:
John Cody's Alerts! was created due to the lack of a easy, yet flexible way to create quick count-down timers (a.k.a "From Now" timers) and other date/time dependant Alarms.
I personally feel the single most effective feature of Alerts! is the quick-access shortcuts for creating a new From-Now count-down timer or a new date/time Reminder.
These shortcuts allow you to launch Alerts!, bypass the main screen and jump directly to the New From-Now Timer or Reminder entry screens, allowing quicker entry of a new Alert. Most importantly, you can assign a "Speed-Dial" or "Voice Tag" to each of these shortcuts so you can launch them directly from your home screen for rapid entry of a new alert when you need to.
Being someone who enjoys tweaking things until they are just right, I spent a significant amount of time making Alerts! to be extensively customizable. You can configure things such as what action each key of the keypad will perform....to how a particular feature will actually operate.
Every feature I could think of (for now) has been packed into this program (or will be added soon). But, I am sure many of you will come up with a cool new idea for a future feature. So, please remember to submit them in the forum!
Here are some Quick Tips and Features to Check-Out to help you get the most out of John Cody's Alerts!:
-Separate "New From-Now" and "New Date-Time" shortcuts are provided so you can assign a Speed-Dial or Voice-Tag to them, allowing your to jump right into creating a new alert from your Home Screen without the extra steps of other alarm program.
-Context-Sensitive Help is available for most screens. Just select the Menu button on any screen, then select Help to display helpful info about that screen.
-The main Alerts! application does not have to be running in order to receive notice of past due alerts and times.
-You can setup up to two custom Pre-Alerts, which can notify you of an approaching main alert.
-Each alert is fully customizable - You can assigned different sounds, Loop Counts, Snooze and Vibration mode to each individual alert.
-If your phone is placed in the "Silent" or "Meeting" profile, all alerts will just vibrate while in that profile.
-You can setup Daily, Weekly (and specify multiple days of the week), Monthly and Yearly recurring alerts.
-Auto-Snooze can automatically snooze any un-acknowledged alarm instead of permanently dismissing it.
-Auto-Incrementing auto-snooze will automatically increase the snooze time for each subsequent snooze, so your battery is not drained by a fixed-minute snooze amount if the alert is left unacknowledged for a long period of time.
-From-Now (count down) timers can be saved in History memory for rapid setup of the same timer at a later time.
-You can specify your preferred keypad input mode (abc, T9) so you won't have to waste time switching to your fsvorite mode while naming an alert.
-The Fontsize of the main alert listing is selectable, so you can make the listing big for easy viewing, or smaller to reduce horizonal scrolling.
-You can specify an additional sound file location, such as your storage card, of more sound files that the alerts can use.
-Custom Keypad mapping - You can customize which functions are performed for each key on the keypad when they are pressed.
-You can safely install Alerts! on your Storage Card! Extra measures to ensure the alarm will sound, even if your memory card is slow to "Wake Up" have been designed into Alerts! Many other alarm apps will simply fail with the error "Unable to execute xyz.exe" if your memory card is slow to become functional after turning on your phone or coming out of suspend.
Mozilla is porting a version of their webbrowser to the Smartphone. Although not "technically" Firefox, Minimo is based on the same code that FireFox, Thunderbird, and the Mozilla Suite uses.
