Native Opera Mini version released and is just great!
While (as of today, a month after it being demoed at MWC for the press) there still isn’t any sign of the native iPhone version of one of the best Web browsers, Opera Mini, in the AppStore, the Opera folks don’t seem to have stopped with porting their browser into other platforms. In addition to the iPhone, there’s also a brand new Windows Mobile version released just two days after my publishing my previous news report on Windows Mobile browsers.

Major Web site upgrade
Hi, folks. I'm just putting the finishing touches on a major software upgrade to the Web site, from Drupal 5 to 6.

This week, I’ll point you to more information about this, as well as additional detail about Windows Phone 7 and videos of this software in action.

This week I’ll point you to some info regarding the chassis design as well as more discussion of this forthcoming Wndows Phone software. And I’ll note info on the newly announced HTC HD Mini.

Spb Mobile Shell version 5 coming!
Can't say enough about Mobile Shell from SPB. If you run vanilla flavored WinMo, it can be a pain to navigate and find apps. SPB Mobile Shell fixes that with one unified menu system and home screen that lets you manage apps, check time and weather, browse contacts and do much more. All without leaving the slick, user-interactive interface.
