Want to watch NBC online but are outside the USA? No problem!

Did you know that thanks to Skyfire and its Flash capabilities, you can now watch SNL, hulu.com, YouTube.com, Dig Your Own Grave, and Video Fantastica on your Windows Mobile phone?

And I’ll let you in on a little secret too — Outside of the USA and tired of seeing that awful message: “This content is not viewable outside of the USA”? Well it appears that you won’t get that message if you’re on your Windows Mobile phone!

Trust me, this Canadian girl can’t get enough of Hulu.com now!

Review: CorePlayer Mobile v1.2.5

In the beginning, there was an awesome media player for Windows Mobile called ‘BetaPlayer‘. It could handle all kinds of audio and video codecs that the mobile version of Windows Media Player couldn’t. Eventually BetaPlayer turned into TCPMP (The Core Pocket Media Player), a freeware media app. And it was truly awesome. Then, all of a sudden, TCPMP dropped support for files downloaded from iTunes for legal reasons, and TCPMP became a little less useful. From this, the commercial CorePlayer was born. CorePlayer allows developers to collect some revenue and pay licensing fees for proprietary codec support.

I’ve been using CorePlayer for quite some time now and I love it. It does everything I want it to do: movies, video clips, audio files, YouTube, podcasts, JPGs, FLV files… and tonnes more.

Review: Ringo Mobile by Electric Pocket

What is Ringo Mobile?

I was really hoping for greatness with this program and got everything I expected and more. Ringo lets you easily add the awesome raw power of MP3, WMA or WAV format ringtones to every call tone on your device. You can use your favourite music or sound clip as a ringtone - just copy it to your WinMo phone and select it from Ringo’s easy-to-use interface. In addition, Ringo provides an easy way to set and change ringtones and SMS tones for your friends - just pick from a list of the contacts in your address book is listed. Each friend you set up can have a unique MP3, WMA, Wav or Midi ring and SMS tone.

According to DigiTimes, the next big move in the mobile world is towards improving the user interface experience, making it more touch-friendly. And, of course, the two biggest contenders in this race for improvement are HTC and Asustek, with their upcoming Touch HD and Galaxy 7 devices, respectively.
