Weather Forecast on your Pocket Personal Computer
The real value of Spb Weather on PDA is its convenience. Instead of trying to get the weather forecast on the radio or TV, or surfing to a weather forecast site, you need to install Spb Weather onto your Windows Mobile PDA, and it’ll wirelessly deliver an up-to-the-moment worldwide weather report from a variety of weather sources and a full 7-day weather forecast. It’ll download up to 10 days ahead and that’s something other weather forecasters miss.
Spb Weather presents the weather forecast for a city as a clear horizontal graph with icons displaying sunny, cloudy, rainy or stormy conditions. Underneath there is a text box offering more detailed weather information. One day weather forecast can contain information on max and min temperatures, humidity, pressure, and wind speed and direction allocated by 4 periods of the day. The plug-in is skinnable and can look anything you want. Besides, it can be extensively customized to suite your personal tastes.
With Spb Weather, you’ll have control over various parameters, including frequency of updates, view modes, traffic statistics and even weather forecast data source. The weather information can be represented in one of four modes, including 7 days view, 5 days view, 4 days view and Multiline view. If a 4 day mode is selected, you can see four weather information entries for a selected city on the graph. The Multiline mode allows you to view five day forecasts for several different cities simultaneously. City entries are represented with separate graphs in this mode, rather than with tabs as in all other modes.
Weather information can be updated as frequently as you like. It can get updated every time your device is docked. Or, the weather forecast can be updated every time you add a new city to monitor in Spb Weather. You can specify an update behavior: this can be either a manual update (weather data will be downloaded only upon your request) or automatic update (in this case data will be downloaded after every specified time interval).
Setting Spb Weather to work is a breeze. You need to input which cities you want to monitor, and this can be done by typing in the city name, or its ZIP code. Custom names for cities can be specified too (Pete instead of Saint Petersburg). You are also prompted to select a weather source for the city. Once the city (or cities) is set, the program prompts you to specify preferable view, skin, units and decide whether you want to update the weather information manually or automatically, track hourly or daily weather data. That’s all! Ease of use and excellent usability earned Spb Weather place in top 10 most sold Windows Mobile programs
The program supports Spb Pocket Plus, so you can free up some resources and gain more space on the Today screen of your PDA as Spb Weather will run as a separate tab.
Spb Weather will help you get weather forecasts for virtually any city around the world and look up the local forecast too. At just $14.95, this nice plug-in for PDA represents excellent value to your eyes and looks to be a necessary purchase for any traveler. You can see it in action right now if you download its fully functional evaluation copy from www.handster.com. Enjoy accurate weather forecasts!

Carry Your MS Access Database With You In The Pocket!
Kai's Access Manager .Net lets you open and edit a Pocket Access Database as a file or from the Objectstore. Unlike other tools, it works fine with large databases and can open a table with up to 20,000 records as quickly as a couple of seconds. The table can be viewed either in Tableview or in Formview from where you can edit, delete and create new records. Professional users will like the opportunity to create own queries. For faster opening, a table/database can be indexed.
The program works on common sense. Once installed, you can jump into creating a database, entering information right out of the box without messing around complex features. Just load a copy of a MS Access Database from the desktop PC to your Pocket PC and get it automatically converted to a Pocket Access Database (.CDB). That's pretty much you need to do. The database on the Pocket PC will now be automatically synchronized with the one on the desktop, so that any changes to the Pocket PC database can be easily uploaded to the desktop database.

The database on the Pocket PC will now be automatically synchronized with the one on the desktop, so that any changes to the Pocket PC database can be easily uploaded to the desktop database.
It's important to note that copying a MS Access Database to the mobile device doesn't work with Active Sync 4.5 and Vista’s Mobile Device Center. Instead Access Converter .Net should be used.
Let's say, for example, you control a website and all records database using Access. You would like to have a way of being out in the field with a database available but not requiring the need to carry a laptop with you. Kai's Access Manager .Net will help you. It can handle Access tables, let you read and edit records before sending data back to the desktop PC for updating the website.
Currently Kai's Access Manager .Net has been upgraded to version 7.9 which adds support for landscape mode and square screen.
Kai's Access Manager .Net 7.9 will run on Windows Mobile for Pocket PC 2003, 2003 SE, Windows Mobile 5, 6 and costs $24.00 (US).
Download Kai's Access Manager .Net and carry your MS Access database with you in the pocket!

Now You Can Watch Pocket PC Mobile TV Wherever You Are
Not in the mood to watch television outside your home? Then download specialized software and make your iPAQ function like an iPAQ TV remote control inside the house. With the right remote control software, make your iPAQ a universal remote control that can operate your television, VCR, and other home or office audio and video equipment. This feature is already available for various models of the iPAQ.
Pocket PC Remote Control Functionality
The MPEG video player and Windows Media Player applications installed on your handheld can play various audio-video flicks on your iPAQ, Palm or Sony CLIÈ. Convert your PDA into a mobile televisions set by downloading or transferring form your PC your favorite full length films, television programs, film trailers, music videos, and more.
Remote control software from UEI Nevo, VITO Remote, TV Remote Controller and others are specially made for Pocket PC handhelds. They are compatible with certain PDA models from Acer, Dell Axim, HP Jornada, Fujitsu Siemens, HP iPAQ, Toshiba, and others.
There is also remote control software, like the OMNI Remote, specifically made for Palm-based handhelds like the Palm Pilot, Handspring, and Visor so don't think it's only the iPAQ that can be used as a remote control in your home.
Pocket PC remote control can be utilized between PDA handhelds and television sets with infrared engines. It can work from a distance of 2 meters to 10 meters between the PDA and the television set, depending on the iPAQ model's remote control software and infrared signal strength. When operating the television or other audio or video equipment, the PDA user should point the infrared signal of his PDA to the television.
