Simple idea, and those are usually the best
Good job!
Brilliant idea! Well done!
its cool man !! keep up !!
Great work, thanks!
nice idea, maybe you can identify the visitors' device ? Would be useful for devices with VGA resolution, wouldn´t it?
Great! Thanks man! Anyone using Netfront Browser or skyfire browser?
I like the concept...Good Job!!
Thanks everyone for your feedback. I can't believe I've had such a good response!

I will have a look at doing that. Leave it with me.
Any way that we could use our own icons?
yeah using own icons is what id like to do as well
or a way to add a link and have it recognize the pages icon automatically?
Nice idea. RocketShotz has something similar to this:

NEW FEATURE: User image support
As well as hosting icons on your own site, I would encourage you to contribute icons for the default iconset. In either case, please get the template here:
http://tinyhomepage.com/ContributeIcon.aspx
ALSO ADDED:
Default icons for: ESPN, Wikipedia Mobile, USA Today Mobile, PinStack and Google Search/Mail/Reader Mobile

I'm not sure what you mean here. Could you explain?
well like in firefox or IE at the address bar there is the symbol to the left
and in favorites it is there as well and it just finds it without any user actions you know?
I believe he means having the web app automatically grab web page icons and use them instead. Good idea, but unfortunately web page icons aren't the same dimensions.
I think this web app is a novel idea, but I find some of the icons rather ambiguous. The icons do have alternate text seen by hovering the cursor over them, but that doesn't help much when it cannot easily be seen on a Windows Mobile device, or any other mobile device for that matter. Perhaps you could allow up to ten characters of text underneath each icon.
Thank you! Thats great!

Need some recommendations for a good RSS app. i am trying Egress out but i dont like the today plugin as it wont allow me to customise which channels are displayed on the today screen.
so what do people around here recommend then (i dont mind not having a today plugin if the app itself is really good)?
pRSSreader has worked well for me
If you own marsware weatherpanel, you can download newspanel for free (in beta) it nicely displays rss with pics on your today screen!
here is a screenshot

I used to use pRSSreader. It's very good - and free.
Newsbreak, from Ilium Software, isn't free, but is my current fave.
I have tried many but currenty using A6.Times News... The interface is very nice and easy to use. It is young in the market but many enhancements are coming soon and the support has been stellar from the developers. Here is the link:
http://www.alien6tech.com/TimesScreenshots.aspx
Developers are very open to suggestions and respond in a timely fashion. ONe main feautre it is missing for me is a Today screen plug-in but I am told this is coming soon.

Where is this NewsPanel? I searched their forums and site but it seems like the company is in disaray? Their forums are nothing but SPAM postings.
I use NewsBreak which is quite good.
Not free though

What is "the bit"? I don't see what you are talking about.
well I tried Newsbreak and thought it was completely crap. not anywhere near as good as prssreader. no today plugin either, which is what I want it for. but the fact that I can't seem to get it auto update is frustating. any fellow users got any idea's?

More icons
I'm glad someone converted my icons to Pocket Plus. Please make more!
I noticed my drop shadows are a bit too dark and the shape is slightly thinner than the real iPhone icons. I'll change that soon when I have some time (re-do some of the Photoshop layers).
Here's more that I put together.

I'm sorry for converting your icons without asking for your permission. But I'm glad you've created such great icons for us. Thanks.
Please make more
It's all good. I wished you can convert my other ones too. I got tired trying to do them for Pocket Plus. I hate doing the one large file format they have you conform to. It's so easy doing them individually. Glad you took the time Cayotte. BTW--no permission needed. We like to share in this and other forums! Great work!

really cool..is this thing reals??
Nope, fake
Hense why I'm asking if anyone can develop it because I have very, very little programming experience
Looks good, gotta be threaded!
I agree. Maybe instead of 'From' and 'Message' there could be contact names that you press to get to a threaded view of messages. Either way, I just wanted to put a design idea on the table.
woah what a nice design then I think this think really exist..oh great if there is a programmer who want to create it
I've added an idea for threaded SMS. Can anyone help make this into a program?
Since you are GREAT in Graphics and stuff...why dont you make a Skin for Pocket CM like this
can u send me the files..i mean the background..the buttons and all the stuff..maybe i will try something
Nice idea.... It looks very cool.....
I've sent ather90 the graphics, so now we can just hope lol

i guess its the new 3.5 framework needed ^^
just tried it, looks like a pretty sweet start. hope it turns into a full program.
Yeah sorry i Forgot to tell
it needs .NETCF 3.5
woah Ather will it work for VGA?
It would be lovely if this could be created implementing own MMS/SMS handlers by using
FormFactoryEx.. so this could be embedded directly to tmail...
I know the messageview and the compose form can be created in this way(check the sdk samples), but i'm not sure if you can create the list of messages custom.. i know you can override the basic icons/bitmaps used to describe read/attachment and so on.. but i'm not sure about the generic window..

well drmidnight has inspired me to create a "minimal theme"
this is still in photoshop so its not created but i have all the images to create it pretty quickly.

i used two different fonts on this.
i was going for a "retro" look so thats why the icons and background look like that.
the background is pauldgroot's[found here]
so anyone like it?

Looks great ! Any way to add some sort of scroll, or something close to an applet ribbon for a single line of apps? I think it would still keep the minimal look, but add a bit more function.
how would i go on doing that?
maybe throttle launcher?
Glad to see I inspired you!
I like the classic retro look you gave it.
Finish it up and I would love to try it out.

Wasn't sure to be honest! I thought there was a way, wouldn't have to be a scrolling feature, but maybe with arrows.
But there's no doubt it would be a sweet Throttle theme!

Dude, UltimateLaunch - Then you're able to have options on transitions, ability to add more plugins, shortcuts etc.. so much easier than throttle
Maybe HomeScreen++? You can have a scrolling launcher, or more views.
When I tried rltoday, I gave up because there was a lot of screen flickering when switching to the home page, or when the clock updated etc etc.

This is really nice... but you obviously can't use ultimate launch to scroll it.. only to switch between tabs.

To verify this is not an application, just an idea. I was hoping somebody would care to maybe have a go at creating an application like this that opens up a menu which displays programs, settings etc.
The program would scroll using kinetic scrolling and would basicallay be used as a start menu to open shortcuts to start menu applications.
I attach 2 screenshots of possible ideas.
So what you guys think?

You can find something like this in Mobile Shell 2 (TWO), in MY MENU you can add anything you want. Assign My Menu to a soft key and you should be good.
Sure, a standalone software would be better...
Lol. Someone thought of this before you, too bad it was/isn't completed. TouchXperience. [Link]

i really like this idea,
however, i'm sure there's a few apps very similiar too this flying around,
maybe you could create a skin for one of them?
Nice system font, (teh one on the softkeys) what is it? I wish to use it on me phone.
There is something similar...
FingerPoint would work if you could skin it more...maybe even QuickMenu if it could be made large enough to cover the whole screen. There was another old one that I can't remember.
