Missing Sync Beta For the Palm Pre!

One of the greatest variations from the norm with the Pre and WebOS, is the idea that you are not traditionally tying your phone to a particular computer for Data Sync. The Pre breaks out of the Box in that way, not committing to any OS for sync. It relies on what ever Cloud services you want to tie it to, to maintain your personal data.  This great article from Ars Technica will explain it way better than I ever could.

One thing that becomes evident though, especially after the woes over Toodle-Do’s Toodle-Down, that Doug posted, are you completely happy to commit your Data to the Cloud?

Quick Look: Twikini, A Twitter Client for WinMo!

Twitter is slowly taking over the universe as we know it, in the last couple of months it usage has skyrocketed, and with that escalation, the need for better ways to incorporate it in your mobile life have been developed. Not long ago, after using a couple of Twitter apps, I came across another that eclipsed anything I had seen before, Pocket Twit. 

Of course I came across Twikini via a tweet, but don’t get me started, who comes up with these names anyway. Twitter is so hot at the moment that there have been multiple worm attacks over the last couple of days. I fortunately have avoided infection, but many haven’t, the best way to avoid it is with a good client, be that PC/Mac side or even more effective on your mobile/iPhone!

Twikini has popped up at just the right time to be taken advantage of, but of course you want to know how it performs…

Quick Look: Resco Contact Manager Beta

Got a heads up from Doug today about a new application from Resco, a Contact Manager still in Beta, that Doug said looks great. He’s usually right so I thought I’d have a quick look, and to tell you the truth I’m not disappointed. It comes as a desktop install, that is straight activesync/WMDC compatible, installed to storage card without a glitch, and all of a sudden you’ve got a new today plug-in that gives you a lot more access to your system, than just your contacts, oh, but they’re included as well.

So this is a contact manager right, but as you can see, just the today plug-in, offers access to a large amount of information, and even system functionality. immediately, you have to go, an app that allows you access to your favourite contacts, call history, text history, and messaging, as well as all of your radio functions from the Today Screen is already looking real good.

Opera Mini 4.2 beta released!

I’ve been using opera Mini for a while on a crapola Samsung E250, the best solution for email on the go, the native WAP browser that came with the phone is really  inadequate for everyday internet use. For those of you that have Java enabled handsets of any kind, it’s worth a look. 

Opera Mini 4.2 beta installs next to any existing stable Opera Mini version on your device and will not overwrite any of your data.

Alternatively, you may download Opera Mini to your computer for a manual installation.

• Standard Opera Mini 4.2 beta JAR (124 KB)
• Standard Opera Mini 4.2 beta JAD (4 KB)
• BlackBerry Opera Mini 4.2 beta ZIP archive (104 KB)
• Palm (requires JVM installed) Opera Mini 4.2 beta PRC (316 KB)

Obviously it works with BlackBerry and Palm equipped phones as well. If you haven’t tried it what’s stopping you, it’s free, you’ve got to love a bargain like that

Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta, Now available!

Earlier in the year I had a look at the Opera 9.5 Beta, though it was not official, and I was excited, now I’m sounding like some late night telemarketer, but this is exciting. I’ve been waiting for the release of  the real Beta of opera 9.5 for mobile and it’s downloading as I type this.

I am so looking forward to browsing with this tomorrow, but I wonder if Opera can establish a world record for downloads with this most anticipated Beta.

You can Download the Beta Here
