Smart and friendly Pocket PC phone
However, there is one significant advantage for Windows Mobile phones – these inconveniences can be improved with good software. Spb Mobile Shell will warp all the power of Pocket PC with easy and familiar interface. Let's take a closer look.
Spb Mobile Shell consists of three parts: a powerful Today Screen plug-in, a cell phone-like menu and a new standby screen.
Today Screen Plug-in
Today Screen Plug-in is a light version of Spb Pocket Plus, Spb Weather, Spb Time and some sort of photo-calling application.
One of the biggest advantages of Spb Mobile Shell Today plug-in is that it saves space on your Pocket PC's Today screen. When you install Mobile Shell it creates four Tabs: Home, Time, Weather and Dial.
The Home Tab is a smart quick launch panel. Its icon shows you battery charge status and the content is automatically formed from frequently used applications.
The Time Tab shows you time in three time zones of your choice and the next alarm time.
The Weather Tab shows a forecast for a selected city.
In the Dial Tab you can place photo icons of your contacts for speed dial.
Also, you can add any Today plug-in as a Tab. For example Spb Pocket Plus for customizable quick-launch of Pocket PC applications.
If you use and Spb Weather, the corresponding Tabs also have extended functionality like multiple alarms and weather forecasts for different cities.
Auto-hide function is another prominent feature of Spb Mobile Shell Today plug-in. It keeps Tab contents hidden when not in use, thus leaving Today Screen free to enjoy nice background pictures.
Phone-like menu
The second major part of Spb Mobile Shell is its Menu. It can be assigned to any hardware button or to the soft key of your PDA.
Spb Menu will look familiar to you if you have ever used cellular phone. It is really well considered. The menu has eight icons with submenus which perfectly fit in a landscape mode. For example, "Messaging" icon opens the submenu, where you can choose from items like: "Create new SMS", "Create New E-Mail", "Read SMS", "Read E-Mail". Very user-friendly, now you don't have to navigate through folders and menus of Messaging application.
Every icon contains such submenus with additional useful functionality that you can easily access. In Multimedia you can browse media library, start a slideshow or launch different modes of camera.
No need to tap on a screen with a stylus, all can be reached with a device navigation button or numeric keyboard.
"Now" Standby screen
Spb Mobile Shell also features a nice standby screen, called "Now". This screen can be activated manually, by the time-out or every time you switch your device on.
This screen shows all current information in a very tight form. Clock (digital or analog), weather for today, battery charge status and signal strength, missed calls, SMS, e-mails and upcoming appointments – all this information on one device screen and easy enough to read on the go - the thing mostly missed by users after switching to Windows Mobile Phone. Simple, nice and useful!
Conclusion
Spb Mobile Shell is a great application. Power means nothing without control, and if Windows Mobile potential is power, then Spb Mobile Shell is control.
It has practically everything that is needed for comfortable work with PDA like with an ordinary cell phone:
• Several Today Tabs, by the way, big enough to press with a finger
• Convenient dialer
• Photo-contacts on one of the Tabs
• Support of third party plug-ins
• Excellent menu: every application or setting can be easily reached without a stylus
• Under Tabs' stripe there can be other elements of Today Screen. The opening Tab will simply overlap these elements.
Besides, Spb Mobile Shell operates quite quickly, Tabs are switched instantly, and there is no difference in operating speed after the installation on Pocket PC.
As a minimum, this utility will allow to spare a considerable amount of space on Today by compressing six rows to one neat row on the screen. And as a maximum, it will enable to navigate a PDA with one hand only without a stylus.
With such application your device gets cell-phone usability and keeps all advantages of Pocket PC system, something that you should really give a try.

Why do I need a external antenna for my PocketPC?
| For stronger signal strengths, lesser static interruptions, and better GPS reception and accuracy, use an external antenna. PocketPC gadgets from HP iPAQ, Dell, and Palm, especially those with cellular phone and GPS capabilities, can work better with various signal enhancers. An external antenna is one of the numerous PDA handheld accessories along with PDA cases, screen protectors, styluses, car mounts, cables, and others that ensure total Pocket PC protection and improved functions. External Antennas For PocketPCs - Promoting Seamless Connectivity For PDAs with cellular phone and GPS (global position system), an external antenna can work wonders. An external antenna can be attached to the Pocket PC device and can be conveniently placed on the roof of your car, at the top of your desk, etc. An external antenna for your Pocket PC can utilize more signals making communication faster and more convenient. Even though some Pocket PC units, PDA phones, and cellular phones have their built-in antenna, an external one is still useful. A built-in antenna has certain limitations in sending and receiving signals because of its restricted size so the user has to find the right place to conduct his call or use the GPS of his Pocket PC. An external antenna can easily get better signals because it can place itself in a better radio frequency (RF) environment. Various points should also be taken care of before connecting an antenna to your Pocket PC. Other PDA accessories, like cables or connectors, are needed to connect the antenna to your Pocket PC. Longer handheld cables lessen the signals, so shorter cables should be chosen where possible. The location of the external antenna should also be considered. For example, when you're on the road, the perfect spot to put the Pocket PC antenna is on the roof of the vehicle to widen handheld signal coverage. |

A Review of iPod Technology and Pocket PC
The entry of iPod technology has awakened all the manufacturers and has inspired them to compete with it by launching their own set of mobile products. Microsoft's hardware product 'Zune' claims to compete furiously with the iPod technology. With the ever increasing competition heating up in the market, manufacturers are gearing up to launch new products with different features. For customers, these changes have come as boon. They can now choose among different products and pick the best out of the lot. Thanks to the cut throat competition, prices too have come down drastically.

For instance, several applications like pocket television, IM, voice recognition and others can be downloaded by Pocket PCs, unlike in the case of iPods. To go with this, Pocket PCs allows you to surf the internet where ever you are located. They can also be carried any where as they are sleek and lightweight.
With iPod technology, a different set of features are made available to you. They allow you to store as many as 15000 songs and store many more pictures in them. The device comes in four different models and has an USB port incorporated in it. This device can also be connected to a television.
With the launch of products like 'Zune', Pocket PCs are being developed with extra features that are comparable with the ones iPods have. They are now capable to download different software applications. This has enabled the Pocket PC owners to enjoy the music and store as many photos as many as they can.

PDA Stuff: YouTube on Pocket PC Devices
I found this website called YouTube Pocket. I don't think it's affiliated or sponsored in any way by YouTube, but I wish YouTube offered something like it. It allows you to watch ANY YouTube video on a supported Windows Mobile PDA or Smartphone. It involves installing TCPMP media player and the TCPMP FLV plugin. I'm using a Dell Axim X50v with WM6.

Pocket PC: An Informative Overview
Pocket PC Defined
A PPC or Pocket PC is a kind of hardware specification that is made like a handheld-sized personal computer. It is a computer’s scaled down version that can be used in offices and in homes. With its size, people can mistake it as a small diary or an ordinary mobile phone.
Although, PPCs have almost all the commands and applications your local personal computer can have. PPCs have the capability to run software applications that is most likely to be sophisticated. Usually, a Pocket PC weighs for just about 110-170 grams or around 4-6 ounces which can be a perfect fit for your pocket.
Aside from the permanent Microsoft operating system, Pocket PCs can have the ability to run other alternatives like Linux, NetBSD, Android and other forms. Currently, more than a thousand applications are adhered by the Pocket PC, most of which are known as freeware. Pocket PCs compliant to Microsoft can also be used together with numerous add-ons like barcode and RFID readers, cameras, and GPS receivers.
Brief History
Pocket PC is the evolution of computers which are considered as calculator sized. Calculators that are keystroke-programmable and can do scientific applications and simple businesses that became available during the 1970s. It was during the 1990s when the origination of an earlier version of PPC was formed. This device was small and handheld that had organizer facilities and is known as Palm Pilot. When 2000 came in, Microsoft introduced a more sophisticated pocket-sized version of the Windows operating system.
What’s in a Pocket PC?
Sophistication of commands made possible at the palm of your hands – this is what PPC is all about. It functions as an extension of your desktop PC where you can use Microsoft software applications even if you’re far away from your home PC. It’s accessibility ranges from all updates of data that may include appointments and emails. Pocket PCs are very much available. You can purchase it in different designs and features with various memory sizes. Upgrades like increasing the memory size are possible with the purchase of add-on memory cards.
With regards to the lives of batteries, it can last for 4 – 8 hours or even more. When the battery is down, charging can be easily done. Sizes of screens also differ depending on the preference of the person purchasing the PPC. The normal variety of PPC screen sizes ranges from nine to ten centimeters if measured diagonally. Majority of PPCs are touch screens.
The ability to connect via the Internet is also possible through Bluetooth or WiFi that gives you the opportunity to browse in web pages to compose, send or read emails no matter where you are.
With the Pocket PC at hand, you can go anywhere you want and still be able to communicate, do work or simply do whatever it is you have to do. Conducting business matters can be made possible even if you’re still on your way to work or is stuck in heavy traffic.

Safety and Security Tips on using Your Pocket PC
Convenience equates to risk. Admit it. A Pocket PC is one very convenient way of connecting to the world without just a click of a button. It offers more possibilities attached with convenience. Although, these added conveniences puts an owner at risk. In addition to security problems and threats that you have to face regarding your desktop computer, you can have the same problem with your wireless device through networking.
The smaller the size of your device, the easier it is for your Pocket PC to become more vulnerable to the naked eye – stealing it or file corruption. You have to protect your device in three security levels namely: network, data and physical.
Network security refers to the assurance that the device will not fall into the wrong hands and other people won’t be able to use it to tap into your network. To avoid such internal problems, you have to take some steps in protecting your entire network by considering some of the factors below.
• Disabling WiFi and Bluetooth connection when not in use. This is helpful in saving your device from unwanted outside connections, increasing the life of the battery and stabilizes further security.
• Use notification and monitoring programs to track and detect hidden activities done in your Pocket PC.
• Administrators must establish a governed policy for the handheld device that will connect to the network.
• Always update your LAN driver in order to use the WPA or WiFi Protected Access instead of using WEP.
• Use private networking virtually to be able to connect to your company network.
Data security refers to the assurance of the device to be safe in case it falls to the wrong, prying hands. Even if the OS is accessed, you’ll have the feeling that your business and personal data will not be accessed. Managing this can be easy by doing the following:
• Store your sensitive data on your memory card then remove it when not in use. Make sure that the memory card itself doesn’t get lost.
• Don’t allow any access to applications that might be used to read important data. Use a software like PDA Defense.
• Always see to it that sensitive data are encrypted wherever it is stored.
Physical security refers to the protection of the device from theft or loss and prevents OS accessibility in cases of the device falling into other people’s hands. This is also considered as your first line of defense.
• Store and carry the device securely. Never let your handheld device just hang around your pocket or kept inside a shoulder bag. It’s better to keep it very close to the body as possible or if not, put it in a briefcase that’s also secured with a pin number or attach a PDA case to your belt.
• Prevent OS accessibility. You can at least put on a password or security pin code before opening the device. Use a very strong supported password.

Reasons Why You Will Purchase a Pocket PC
Some people who are too ignorant of modern devices will make fun of PDAs. Why? Most probably because they keep on thinking that devices like these are just filled with games and senseless materials. Well, in fact, no.
We’ll start this one-sided conversation by telling you what’s a PDA.
PDA is an acronym for Personal Digital Assistant that’s basically just the size of your hand. It can be brought around town and use it everywhere you could possibly go. PDAs are considered as very powerful devices, oftentimes equalling the capabilities of desktop computers. With an impressive timetable of PDAs, there is now a mass purchase of these devices which can be solely used or for the intention of many.
No matter what kind of operating system that’s used, their features are quite the same. One of the many features that a PDA offers are:
1. Address Book – this holds all your contact’s addresses, phone numbers and even their home or office addresses. It keeps you in track of all the important people in your life.
2. Keyboard on Screen – makes your clicking and typing life easier by letting you encode things right on the screen or if you don’t want such brutality made to your newly bought PPC, a stylus is readily available and is more appropriate to write with.
3. Backlight – mobile phones have it, why not PDAs? This increases your chances to see in darker places. Backlights can also be customized based on your choice of color.
4. To-do-list – are your reminders and to-dos stuck somewhere in your head that you can’t seem to remember where you have put it and ended up forgetting an important task like a rendezvous at the laundry shop? This can help you remember them.
5. Email – this is one of the most favorite parts of a PPC owner. It enables them to stay connected with the internet world without struggling to get into their office and send or read a very important electronic message.
6. Datebook – for professionals who are always on the verge of every lunch and dinner meetings, the datebook feature is one of the most important aspects of a PPC. It covers your important dates like meetings with the big boss or other companies, appointments with your team, a date with your girlfriend. This has the same format as those bulky daily planners.
7. Note Pad – just because you don’t have a pen and paper doesn’t mean that meeting’s over. With the note pad, you can jot down important details of your life, even ones that seems unimportant.
8. Character Organizer – instead of typing, you can use the stylus and write it down on the screen yourself.
9. Calculator – a device is never complete without a calculating program. Even engineers and medical practitioners are thankful for the calculator.
Aside from the basic features that were just mentioned, which also makes more reason why people buy such a fad, there are also factors of entertainment that is involved. You can play music and even watch your favorite videos. If your bored with the same old thing, you can relax yourself through your Pocket PC by playing a game or look at your pictures every once in a while.

Pocket PC and iPod Technology
According to Microsoft, their new hardware called ‘Zune’ can compete with the iPod technology. With the extreme competition in the market, manufacturers are trying to think of effective ways in order to capture the attention of their target market. This is an advantage on the part of the customers because they can get the best products that can meet their everyday communication needs. Another thing is that with the competition, prices are much more affordable making it easier for the public to obtain such mobile devices.
There is no need for Pocket PCs to envy iPod technology because the mobile device offers a lot of features which the iPod doesn’t. For one, you can download several applications like voice recognition, IM, pocket television, and a lot more. The device also allows the user to surf the internet wherever and whenever. Since the device is sleek and lightweight, you can carry it anywhere you go, especially to your place of work. With its multimedia capabilities, it is definitely beyond the iPod technology.
The iPod technology is also good because the device allows the user to store a lot of music (about 15,000 songs) as well as 25,000 pictures or photos. This device is available in four models. It also has a USB2 port and a FireWire cable (optional). Aside from that, it also boasts an alarm clock and it can also be connected to the television.
With the announcement of Microsoft that it will launch the ‘Zune’, the Pocket PCs can now have additional features like that of iPod. Since the Pocket PC can download software applications, owners who wish to have iPod-like features can now enjoy listening to music or store as many photos as they want through the Zune.
Pocket PCs surpass the basic features of the iPod technology but if Microsoft and Apple want to remain as competitive as ever, it will always benefit the users. If you simply want to store music or photos, you can settle with the iPod because it is cheaper than the Pocket PCs. This mobile device is excellent if you already have a mobile phone with advanced features.
For the ever-busy professionals who need to handle a lot of business affairs, iPod can’t possibly meet their needs especially in terms of various software applications. Regardless of the high price of the Pocket PCs, it is definitely a good investment because you can use it at work to check on your business operations. By choosing industry-related applications, all your needs can be met by the mobile device.
