How would you change Windows Mobile 6.5? {Engadget}
Nov 7th 2009 10:13AM @pieboy, where the hell have you been? We have been able to natively do this since WinMo 5, and there is a tweak available to do it in 2003!

Palm demos web-based Ares SDK for webOS {Engadget}
Nov 5th 2009 7:23PM But thats not my point. My point is that the option should always be there from the start, to anyone...not just to the techie who digs around to find it. I just don't like the idea of only being able to app something to your device through a sanctioned app store. In being made to do so, it eliminates anything and everything that is not approved by the mobile carrier or whoever runs the app store. It's just like the other day, some guy made that iPhone guide and sent it to Apple to get it put in the app store, and it gets turned down for the completely asanine reason of having the word iPhone in the name. It's things like that that worry me about app stores and such. If there is one thing that the operator doesn't like, an otherwise brilliant app may get the back hand and rejected, where as on the net, most everything is available to everyone.

Nov 5th 2009 7:07PM @Joe, yes that may be true, but thats still something that not every regular user is going to know how to do. Take WinMo for example, connect your phone, drag and drop install file, run from phone and you are done...you don't have to enter the Konami code(which is damn cool but still) just to be able to do so.

Nov 5th 2009 6:59PM Am I the only person that sees app stores as being evil no matter what platform they are on? I mean they limit what you can do so much its unreal. Yes I know that it may be convinient having them, but I mean....Palm OS devices have always had thousands of apps available on the net...most for free, and now with WebOS being so locked down as to only allow apps to be installed via the store...I dunno, I just don't like it. Personally I think that the store should be there, but there should also be an option to install apps from the net that you download with your computer a'la Windows Mobile and Blackberry devices. Yes, yes I know that that promotes piracy, but comeon, the developers will still get there money from plenty of people that don't know any better than to use the built in app store. I dunno, just my two cents.

Samsung unleashes WinMo 6.5 upgrade for AT&T's Jack {Engadget Mobile}
Nov 5th 2009 12:40AM Yeah pretty much those are the only changes that the user will notice. Theres been quite a bit done under the hood of the OS to make it moar stable and faster, but other than that...not much.
HTC's HD2 has landed at Engadget (hands-on) {Engadget}
Nov 4th 2009 10:37AM Why don't you guys ever show us WinMo fanboys the pr0n we want to see? Im talking about the "About" and "Device Information" screens!! I wanna know the OS build number and the exact specs on this thing strait from the device itself...screw all the classy 45 degree shots, just give me the pr0n!
HTC CEO says he could but won't make HD2 an Android phone, has to take care of Windows Mobile {Engadget}
Oct 29th 2009 12:01PM Exactly! Everyone pisses and moans when HTC releases something WinMo instead of Android, but what all the dumbasses don't know is that Android can be run from almost any WinMo device out there at full speed and with full compatability withing a few months of the devices release. So essentially you get a device that can run two complete OS'es. My point being that if you buy an Android device, that is all you are gonna run. With WinMo, you get 2 for one.

Oct 29th 2009 11:56AM You do realize that this, "whole industry" you are talking about LIVES on WinMo and BB OS right? Android will NEVER penetrate the business sector like WinMo or BB have. NEVER. Nor will the iPhone for that matter. You claim that the industry is leaving WinMo behind is invalid. Yeah everything else may look nicer, but businesses will never adopt Android, the enterprise support is just not there.
