Before I get too far with this, I need to offer some kind of disclaimer and explain my relationship with Iambic. I am an Agendus fangirl. It’s really as simple as that. I am Agendus biased. I wrote several reviews about Agendus for Palm back in the day. Agendus was my number one go to app on my Centro and Treos before that. I used to spend hours hanging out on the Iambic forums giving users advice – whether they wanted it or not. I finally spent so much time there, that Adriano Chiaretta said “hey, why not join the Iambic Forums Team.” I was tickled pink. Then I discovered that active Iambic...

SPB has finally released the long awaited update to its wildly popular Mobile Shell. Version 3 is now available for $29.95, or for an upgrade price of only $14.97. I forget why I had stopped using the older version of Mobile shell, so I won’t be making any comparisons here.

For instance, following a phone...

This has been my goal since the day I first started seriously toying with the notion of switching to a WinPho. I have always admitted to hating Outlook, even though I really can’t explain why. I prefer my email viewed in Mozilla Thunderbird. Thunderbird actually gives me far more control over the layout. I liked using the Palm Desktop for my contacts and calendar: more precisely, I preferred using Agendus. Iambic offers an Outlook version of Agendus, but it’s still just Outlook with a pretty wrapper.   So what changed? As most of you know, my love of Agendus was so great, that about...

This morning we had the pleasure of having Eric Lin from HTC as a guest on the msmobiles podcast. Eric was battered by questions from our panel, and answered most of them. Following is a list of the questions he was asked: Everyone wants a 3.5mm headset jack on their phones, why do HTC keep using the EXT USB connector? Will HTC adopt the universal charger ie microUSB? How much of a game changer has The Touch Diamond been for HTC? Where are the best areas for sales of the company? Video playback performance of HTC devices has always been poor compared with other manufacturers, eg the Touch...
