When I purchased iPhone 3Gs' for my wife and I the Apple rep suggested getting the Apple Care Plan. Normally I don't get extended warranties because they are a waste of money but this time I decided to get the protection. It is a new platform for me and there is no telling what I might try to get the phone to do. As it turns out this was a really good move.

For the first couple of months I was content with using the phone the way Apple intended. After some time I discovered there were a lot of things I wanted to do with the phone but was unable because of Apple's choke hold on the App Store. Thanks to a young man called geohot (George Hotz) I was able to Jailbreak my phone and install software from other app stores like Cydia and Rock to gain more functionality. I have used the phone like this for a couple of months without any problems.... Until this past Friday...

I was at my volunteer gig driving around in a car when my phone just went black. It was plugged into the charger so the battery wasn't dead. It had been running Navigon so the phone should not have gone to sleep. I tried to turn the phone on and I got a message telling me to connect the iPhone to iTunes. Uh Oh. What could have happened to my phone? It was in a windshield mount and plugged in. It was working perfectly up to that point but now it needs to be rejoined with the mother ship? I was a little worried. As it turns out my worries were justified. I am not one to ask for help unles I have exhausted every other possibility first so I spent most of the evening Friday searching Al Gore's Amazing Internets for a solution. I tried downgrading firmware, upgrading firmware, wiping the phone, DFU mode, and any other wild and crazy suggestion I could find but none of them helped. I needed someone else to guide me.

I reluctantly picked up the phone and called Apple Customer Care. I spoke to David and he asked me all sorts of questions. The error I was getting happened every time I tried to restore my phone. It said I could not restore the phone and gave an error 23. The phone itself said the SIM was invalid even though it is an AT&T SIM. I swapped out with the SIM from my wife's iPhone and saw the same message. David suggested I go see a Genius at my local Apple store. Fantastic. My phone is dead and I have to go stand in line to see someone who will talk to me like I am an idiot. Perfect. I made the appointment for 11:50 on Saturday morning at the Tysons Corner Center store.

I arrived early (that's my good Army training) and checked in with the concierge. Almost immediately I saw my name pop up on the display in the back as the number 3 person in line for iPhone support. Wow! No waiting in line. I like this better already. In less than ten minutes my name was called and I was introduced to Ben who, as I was told, would help me resolve my iPhone problem. Ben took my phone and asked me what happened. While I was explaining he began to try to bring my phone back to life. At first the phone did nothing, showing only a black screen, but eventually he was able to get the phone to ask to be connected to iTunes. Unfortunately Ben had the same error I was getting so he immediately said he would get me a new iPhone. Seriously?

Ben pulled a new iPhone out of a box and plugged it in (the battery was drained) to let it charge a bit. Within 15 minutes of my walking in the store I had a new, activated iPhone. During the entire process, from speaking to David on the phone, making the reservation for the Genius Bar, and the replacement by Ben every person I spoke to was courteous, helpful, and seemed genuinely interested in solving my issue. While there have been helpful people along my journey with Windows Mobile nothing can compare to this first time experience with Apple.

I explained to Ben that as an Editor for MGN I had a lot of experience with Windows Mobile devices. I explained that the iPhone was the first Apple product I had owned. His response?

"Welcome to the light side."

Light side indeed.

A few months ago I purchased my first Apple device: an iPhone 3Gs. I have had a device with every version of Windows Mobile since it first came out. I know a lot about Windows Mobile and I know a lot about the hardware. I also know what it is like to brick a device or just have a random hardware failure. It happens. Maybe it is the hard drive on your laptop, or the keypad on your phone, but at some point we are all likely to have a hardware failure at some point. Right?

This is my experience of a failing iPhone and the process to get it all working again. For all of the companies that produce hardware for the WiMo platform this is required reading.

Finally. Finally! A software company gets it! What is it? Read on:

QUOTE
With the release of eWallet 7.0 we're reshaping the idea of how customers buy software. For years there has been an idea that you buy software for your device. This doesn't make sense to us. People aren't buying the software for the device. The software is for the customer. That's why with eWallet 7.0 we've completely reimagined how you buy the product.

Now, for $19.95, you can use eWallet on any device we support. No extra versions. No extra purchases. When you buy eWallet it's for you - not your device. And all existing eWallet users will be able to upgrade for just $10.00 to use eWallet on all supported devices!

On top of that we've poised eWallet for the future with some great new updates. The centerpiece of this is the new eWallet desktop software. Rewritten from the ground up, this new version of eWallet for Windows PC makes eWallet even easier to use and it looks great. More importantly, the new version provides a framework for future innovation that will let us make eWallet an even better product.

Finally, we're expanding the platforms we support. As a demonstration of this, we're making a preview version of eWallet for Mac OS X available to all owners of eWallet. This advance preview lets users try eWallet out and get a taste of what we have in store for them down the road.

Want to get some specifics on the new features? You can see them all by visiting this page: http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/ew/ew_70.php


Ilium Software is doing what mobile software companies should have been doing all along. They are also in a unique position in that they produce the same application across many platforms. So when you get a new mobile device you won't have to worry about the money you spent on software. With the approach Ilium Software is taking, you can take your applications with you. My only questions is, why has it taken so long to get this right?

Thank you Ilium Software. Hopefully your change in licensing will catch on!

Well folks, its been a while since I posted here because of some significant issues I have been having with my Windows Mobile device. I have secretly been looking at the iPhone since the first 3G model came out but just could not allow myself to be lured to the dark side. Well, I finally had enough soft resets and went to the Apple store and moved my wireless account over to AT&T and picked up two of the 32GB 3GS models. I have to say that after about 24 hours I am understanding the attraction and wondering, why can Microsoft not produce a device with this intuitive of an interface? The iPhone just works. Period. In the 24 hours before I got my new phone my WiMo phone required at least 6 soft resets. How many resets has my iPhone required? Zero.

So, Slacker is back and I have a lot of applications I am interested in trying out. I will be cranking out some reviews of iPhone apps, mostly of the non-game variety. I am currently working on one for eWallet by Ilium Software. I previously reviewed the Windows Mobile version (here) but this review will be of the iPhone version as well as the Windows desktop companion. More reviews will be coming after that.

How about our readers? Have any of you made the switch? Tell us about it!

You all know I am a big fan of Spb Softwarehouse applications and have been using them for years. Today they announced an update to their Mobile Shell product and this is a major upgrade. Adam and I have been playing with the new version for a few days and are working on getting a review up for you to read. We will try something a little different this time to turn up the reviews a notch or two. Stay tuned!

Work-Life Balance with Spb Mobile Shell 3.0: New Version of World's Bestselling Mobile Application

St. Petersburg, April 21st, 2009 - Spb Software, a leading maker of mobile software, releases Spb Mobile Shell 3.0, the next-generation user interface for Windows phones. According to Handango Yardstick, Spb Mobile Shell was the world's number one bestselling application of 2008 among all mobile platforms.

Spb Mobile Shell 3.0 accounts for two different smartphone use scenarios: at work and at play. The application offers distinctive 'professional' and 'lifestyle' desktops, integration of picture contacts with Facebook, account-sensitive email indicators, handsome time and weather screens, widgets, responsive kinetic scrolling, signature 3D animation engine, and other appealing assets that change the way a Windows phone is used altogether.

Previous versions of Spb Mobile Shell were shipped by a number of innovative phone makers, such as Acer, O2, Pharos, Sony Ericsson, and Toshiba, have won numerous awards, and have been the choice of millions of customers. "It was challenging to design 3.0, as customer expectations are quite high," - comments Yaroslav Goncharov the Spb Mobile Shell Product Manager and CTO at Spb Software - "On the other hand, this level of success gave us confidence in our basic ideas and design philosophy, and we certainly feel that Spb Mobile Shell 3.0 has all it takes to be the strong foundation for a host of new and immensely popular Windows phones."

Lucky enough to have a Touch HD? If so I am sure you paid a pretty penny for that little device. Of course you want to do what you can to protect it and Proporta has protection ready for you.

QUOTE
The HTC Touch HD is the newest member of the HTC family and this rather clever device allows you to enjoy music videos, films and streaming like you never thought possible on a mobile device. It will come as no surprise that Proporta has designed an Alu-Leather Case (HTC Touch HD Series) - Flip Type which has been made to fit the exact specifications of your HD. Proporta’s Alu-Leather Cases also feature their ultra-special ‘Screen Saver System’, which uses a sheet of rigid, lightweight, aircraft grade aluminium which will protect your Touch HD against crushing and impact shocks.


If you do have a Touch HD make sure you check out the Proporta Touchc HD product page.

There are a lot of more finger friendly devices coming out, and there are a lot of developers stepping up to take advantage. Call it the iPhone effect or point the finger elsewhere, things are getting exciting for the Windows Mobile platform.

Proporta know just how fantastic the original HTC Touch was (and continues to be), so it should come as no surprise that they are already quite fond of its older brother; the Viva. The HTC Touch Viva boasts state of the art HTC TouchFLO technology and, amongst other things, has also managed to make Internet browsing a breeze.

Seeing as Proporta have already taken quite a shine to the HTC family, they really wouldn’t like to see a member of the Touch clan ruined by the wear and tear of the daily grind.

Proporta have therefore designed a lovely Alu-Leather Case (HTC Touch Viva) - Flip Type which has been designed to fit every contour of your device. Proporta’s Alu-Leather Cases also feature their ultra-special ‘Screen Saver System’, which uses a sheet of rigid, lightweight, aircraft grade aluminium which will protect your Viva against crushing and impact shocks.

Proporta would also recommend their Advanced Screen Protector (HTC Touch Viva), as when it comes to touch-screen devices you really can’t afford to take any chances with your screen (i.e. without the screen, you aren’t going anywhere). They've managed to improve the thickness of the high-clarity protector, without impairing screen brightness or quality. Clever Proporta.

P.S. If you decide to purchase either of Proporta's Alu-Leather Case (HTC Touch Viva) - Flip Type they’re adamant you’ll want to keep it in good nick. Check out their Leather Care Guide for some handy tips on how to keep your case looking fine and dandy.

St. Petersburg, November 11th, 2008 — Spb Software, world's leading Windows Mobile software developer releases Spb Keyboard 4.0 — an award-winning on-screen keyboard, which works great with the stylus, but is optimized for typing text with one's bare hands. Created back in 2002, Spb Full Screen Keyboard pioneered in the finger-friendly approach to interfacing with a mobile device, and in its six years of market presence, proved to be a bestseller with the end-users, and a hit with the device manufacturers (recently seen as a customization enhancement in Toshiba's Portégé G810).

Committed to usability and clarity in device navigation, Spb conducted research and gathered feedback from customers, identifying a demand for more flexible mobile text input methods. The new version of Spb's keyboard now offers three modes of on-screen text input, and has received a new name to portray the change — Spb Keyboard 4.0. The new keyboard benefits from an Spb Mobile Shell-like skin engine, and is optimized for working with both stylus and fingers. Among other things, the new Spb Keyboard offers dozens of languages with the default skin, is more compact in memory consumption, supports smart gestures and 'sliding pop-ups', which help to make sure the right key is tapped.

Proporta have teamed up with Mixa to offer all Proporta customers the chance to win something rather special. Mixa is a pretty cool website which customises cassette tapes (remember them?) with bespoke designs and then sends them out ready to be recorded (and re-recorded) with all your favourite tunes.

Mixa have been kind enough to give Proporta three gift codes to supply their customers with free mix-tapes, which you will be able to design for yourselves online. All you need to do to be in with the chance of getting your mitts one is confess your deepest darkest secrets to Proporta...
