Web Browsing News & Reviews & Tips and Tricks (01/Mar/2010)

By Werner Ruotsalainen, March 1, 2010
Topics:
While there are very-very few new releases for Windows Mobile (almost all of the games and a lot of app/utility developers seem to have jumped ship and went straight for the iPhone), Web browsers seem to continuously receive love from app developers. At MWC (where I was also present), there have been even two major, new releases (the new Opera Mobile and BOLT).

Great Playstation emulator FpseCE 0.10, finally, released! + video

By Werner Ruotsalainen, January 3, 2010
Topics:
We emulator freaks have been waiting for version FpseCE 0.10 for at least two and a half years. Back in May-June 2007 when I published my (almost) all-in-one article series on emulating other computing platforms (see THIS) on Windows Mobile, everyone was already waiting for FpseCE 0.10. This is why, back in 2007, I chose not to publish a PS Emulation Bible back in 2007, by the way – I didn’t want to end up having to (completely) rewrite it after the imminent release of the brand new version.

Multiplatform(!) review: Opera Mobile 10 beta released!

By Werner Ruotsalainen, November 24, 2009
Topics:

I’ve thoroughly tested the brand new Opera Mobile 10 beta on all the supported mobile phone platforms (Windows Mobile Professional / Standard and Symbian S60). In general, apart from some problems, I liked what I saw – particularly on Symbian and the touchscreen version of Windows Mobile.

The browser is available for download HERE for both operating systems. For Windows Mobile, a unified download (for both subtypes) is provided.

1. Windows Mobile

Thanks, Microsoft!

 enWin7 This is a bit off topic, so bear with me. I upgraded my Windows Vista laptop to Windows 7 a couple of weeks ago. This is an important machine to me. I do most of my blogging, and reviewing on it. It’s a dual-boot (using WUBI), which loads through the Windows boot manager, and I was worried about screwing up my boot sequence and losing my Ubuntu configuration along with hosing Vista.

New, free(!) cellular-to-Wi-Fi Internet sharing app released

By Werner Ruotsalainen, July 23, 2009

If you know my Multiplatform Bible of using your handset as a modem, you may already know ICSControl, WalkingHotSpot and WMWifiRouter, the (so far) three applications that make a Wi-Fi access point out of your Windows Mobile phone.

iPAQ Linux and alternate OS guide

By Nate Adcock, June 20, 2009
Topics:

Browser Home I have several older iPAQ models just laying around, so why not have some fun with them, right? In this edition of the iPAQ tribute, we are going to talk about some pretty cool ways you can use them to run other operating systems. Several models have ready Linux builds that can be downloaded and installed via storage card or Active Sync connection.

Another revolutionary multiplatform utility by me: add "find in page" support to most mobile web browsers!!!

By Werner Ruotsalainen, June 19, 2009
Topics:

I’ve long been complaining about the lack of any “find in page” functionality in most mobile Web browsers. Now that I’ve played a bit with JavaScript scriptlets, I can proudly present a working solution to this problem.

All you need to do is, independent of the Web browser you use, add the following favorite:

Major guide updates: Opera Mini text copy; modem & Internet sharing and Windows 7

By Werner Ruotsalainen, June 5, 2009
Topics:
I've just finished updating three major articles / bibles with the most recent changes, tips, tricks and app versions:

A review of Windows 7 & tips & never-before-published hacks - added extensive coverage of the current, RC1 version of Windows 7. It runs much better on the HP TC1100 Tablet PC than the first beta and is highly recommended.

Another major breakthrough from me: I've enabled copying from Opera Mini on ALL mobile platforms!!

By Werner Ruotsalainen, May 31, 2009
Topics:


As has been pointed out in all of my articles dedicated to the excellent, lightweight browser Opera Mini, in addition to the lack of italic characters, probably the biggest problem with it has always been the lack of support for copying text from a Web page.

By Werner Ruotsalainen, May 22, 2009
Topics:

I’ve frequently posted reviews (last one HERE; if it doesn’t work, try THIS instead) of the ever-evolving of WinMobile Download Accelerator (wmDA) by Adisasta, an application greatly helping in downloading files off the Web.
