Anyone had any experience with SPB online ? It looks pretty damn good and i might just shell out a few squid on it..
Some of it's functions look amazing
Anyone got it and can someone let me know how it looks on the wvga display ?
Does it rotate ?
works perfect, looks good, rotates all directions.
But "News" is just a rss reader which TP2 already owns, same to "weather".
for me, only TV, radio and onlinegame is interesting, i dont need ringtones, themes, shop.
If you're interested in TV only then try SPB TV
Why don't you just install the Trial and test it by yourself?

I haven't found any info on this matter...
I have tons of WM 2003SE tsk themes, but... they don't work with WM 5.0 in my Universal...
Do you know where can I find compatible themes? I tried wisbar advance desktop, but it is still in beta... I'm looking for simple tsk themes that work in WM 5.0
Any help would be appreciated.
Someone posted this a while back, I beleive you need the Pocket PC SE VGA to work with the Universal. I have not tried it yet, so do post back if they do work.

It doesn't work. The lower two softkeys don't change their colour, and the wallpaper appears like grey, even if it has... every colour of the rainbow.
I'm really surprised that M$ hasn't announced a theme maker for WM 5.0... And more surprised that there are only 1-2 themes available for WM 5.0 devices...
Really unfortunate...
Try this one:

try mine. i've been playing for a while. some of them are really cool. tell me what do you guys think??? rename the extention to .tsk
More to come....
svyatko you rock! Excellent themes at last!!! Send more plz!
How did you make them my friend? With what kind of software?
Thanx also for the other links to the other friend who post them
Hi svyatko,
Are you using a launcher? How did you get to show so many icons on your screen?
What is the colorful round icon near the battery icon?
Very nice themes. How did you create them?
Great themes svyatko!
I dont seem to have the additional icons!
Do I need to install flash or anything?
guys thanks for your comments. Now, all icons I have , are RESCO TODAY PLUG-IN. it's pretty cool. and it doesn't slow the system like SPB POCKET PLUS one. The icon in the corner next to the battery is POCKET INFORMANT icon.
and regarding the software I am using, its something like McDEV Theme creator. I can't remember the axact name, coz i'm @ work, sneakely writing from my Exec ;-))
yess! The program is ThemeMaker McDeb and it works...
At last I made my own themes based on the ones provided here! Thanx again my friend, it works great.
i'm glad you made it. the only problem I find difficult to solve is the dimentions of the picture. no matter how I tried, the picture gets cut in landscape or in portrait modes. it's obviously not a big deal in an abstract pictures, but in something more precise, that is a great pain in the ass...
Do you have a link for the resco today plugin?

I do. It a great program without many useful feature. Why don't U try the trial and find it out yrself?
just wanted some quick thoughts before i install it
gonna try it now, thanks for the reply!
Short summary:
It's great software, it does great stuff, it's useful for closing apps etc, watch out for the Today plugin showing free space on SD cards (there are issues), it can be resource hungry, but it's a useful package generally.

The guys on the forum recommended it to me.. yes! get it!! I started with version 2.5 and am now running 3 happily!
It's one of the inest programs for the PPC and worth every penny.
thank you everyone for your comments! i tried out the trial and find it great.. im buying it right now along with the full keyboard

Check out this link for TMobile's Official WinMobile6 release. On the today screen there is an awesome looking media player plugin and I was wondering what plugin is that and where do I get it?
seems to be not for us, not for WM5/6 PRO.
Looks nice. If smartphone can use it, PDA phone can use it.. I think. Wait til someone rip it off.. doesnt seems like anything I've known. AFAIK, there are two media player plugin for Today screen.. both has some problems.. like one of them are not sync with the media player.. and another one... ... can't remember. One of them is from SPB or SHxx .. one is free ware, but they don't look like what youve shown.
I'm pretty sure that I saw a plug in like the one showed while searching for a dialpad for the TyTN...but I'm realy sorry I don't remember where...
It was a today plug in that controls the WM player...it display the title of the song and some control buttons too.
If I find the place will report back to you...

I do not think it works for wm6

SPB has a similar plug in. its called, "Spb Pocket Plus Plugin - ToPlay -WMP 10 Controller"
hmm.. well the ToPlay -WMP 10 Controller hasnt ever worked on my hermes..
it just crashes on boot, and the whole SPB app. stops working.. havent done anything about it thou.. it doesnt really bother me.. since i can just minimize the media player and bring it up again..
does anyone else have this problem?
Looks like it's for the Dash.

PocketMusic includes a similar Today plugin. Not sure though if you get the plugin with the free version. I bought the commercial version.
does anyone know of a good weather app to use with iFonz? free or not, doesnt matter. i just want to kno which is the best or iphone look-a-like or so. if it doesnt look like iphone like software.... if its better, then it doesnt matter. thx in advance. anyone info?
Weather Watcher is free and is excellent for being free, or use SPB Weather or SPB Traveler. Weather Watcher basically is a window that will retrieve data from PIE, but gives you extra tabs to show, day, week, radar, alerts. SPB Traveler gives weather but also has a list of tools that most find handy. SPB Weather is weather, haven't really ever seen/used used it.
THX SO MUCH for the speedy reply, great info, and short round up review of these programs. u have been a big help since im so undecisive and didnt know just yet how where to start. its been deeply appreciated. thx!!
No problem , enjoy!

Did you relly opened "get.skyfire.com" in PocketIE?
Opened with IE 6, gettin the "Locating.."
I installed the latest version on my Diamond but to be honest I am not too impressed by the resolution.
Is there a setting that enables vga mode? All the fonts and images look stretched as if it were QVGA, anyone else got this problem?
I think I might give this a try. Just wondering if anyone had any opinions when comparing it to Opera???
Here's the cab for you. If it will violate against the rights of the owner please feel free to delete that post (to mods) or tell me and I'll remove the cab.

Opera is FAR better as an everyday browser in my opinion.
I can see Skyfire being useful though, especially if browsing websites that have a lot of streaming media and flash. It's also quite good if you use sites like digg/reddit.
Facebook sucked and the homepage didn't render as it would on a PC so that was dissapointing, but I visit facebook using the iphone.facebook.com URL via Opera and that's quite good.
The application is supported by VGA devices like the Diamond, however, it certainly isn't optimised for VGA, as you will notice when you install and run it. The buttons look stretched, fonts don't look right and when zoomed out it looks quite pixelly
It's a good concept, however I feel that Skyfire has a way to go before it can compete with more stable browsers like Opera which is far more practical.
