Skype launches v2.5 Beta for Windows Mobile

by Darren Murph posted Dec 11th 2008 @ 12:39PM

If you've been stuck in 2.2.0.45 land wondering when Skype was ever going to be more stable and easier to hear, well, so have lots of others. Available now, the v2.5 Beta promises "improved sound quality" and "better stability" to go along with a "familiar Skype design," though details beyond that are being kept under wraps. Both the smartphone (2.5.0.109) and Pocket PC (2.5.0.108) versions have been updated, so why not tap the read link and get your upgrade on? Unless everything's working just fine for you -- you know what they say about fixing things that aren't broken.

Kam Kam Mobile Alert detects GSM calls, wags tail

by Sean Cooper posted Sep 25th 2007 @ 1:40AM

We've seen this type of toy before, but never in such a plush and cute form factor. The Kam Kam Mobile Alert -- that's the cat version -- and Don Don Mobile Alert detect the GSM radio on your handset from up to five feet away when a call or message comes in. Instead of blinking or spinning, Kitty or Rover will wag its tail for 15 seconds to let you know if your ringer happens to be silent. The desktop critter has a handy spot to plonk your handset in when in use, but sadly doesn't offer a charger option. The holiday season is approaching and this would likely make a cute gift, and at $30 a pop, it shouldn't break the bank.
