T-Mobile Shadow 2009 coming soon

Windows Mobile

What we all thought was going to be the T-Mobile Shadow II turns out to be the oddly named Shadow 2009.

Though the first Shadow was somewhat of a ground-breaking device with a flashy and unique UI, the Shadow 2009 seems to be somewhat lacking. First of all - no 3G support! It does come in pretty colours…

Windows Mobile as a baby monitor?

Yep. It exists. I don’t know how much I would trust my phone as a baby monitor (and I’m not alone), but the software does exist.

Baby Monitor for Windows Mobile, written by Russian resident Pavel Ananyev, works by using your phone to detect noises made by a distressed baby. The software features advanced noise suppression software which tells it to ignore environmental sounds which could trigger false alarms. It also automatically silences the ringer, so that your slumbering child wont be woken up by your crazy, loud ringtone.

I love what WMPowerUser had to say about this software:

On hearing a sound the phone will dial a pre-selected number, and you can listen in and confirm your baby is indeed awake. The author commends his solution, as it prevents issues with interference related to radio noise which plagues devices which run on the unlicensed spectrum that most baby monitors use, and of course features an unlimited radius of action, meaning you could be anywhere in the world (!) and still hear when your baby wakes up.

The software is going for $19.99. Any interested parties? Please, tell me all about it.

FriendMobilizer gets an update

Along with a new design, FriendMobilizer now has photo upload support, internationalization, memory card installation, notifications about upcoming birthdays, and much more.

The most visible change is the main screen. Since most of us only have a handful of close friends whose activity we follow, we’ve introduced a new concept into this release called “best friends.” We allow you to pick up to 25 best friends whose pictures will be displayed on the main screen, offering you one-click access to their profile information. Their statuses are automatically retrieved every 30 minutes, and their pictures are stored on your phone longer. Note that the rest of your friends’ information is still accessible from the application.

At the same time, they’ve managed to keep FriendMobilizer light-weight, resource-friendly, and very fast. In this release, they’ve also added a garbage collection feature and improved photo caching to not only ensure speed, but further minimize storage usage as well.

Video: Facebook on your Windows Mobile device

Facebook on Windows Mobile

Pocketnow has posted a video showing three different ways to use Facebook on your Windows Mobile device: m.facebook.com via Pocket IE, iphone.facebook.com via Opera Mobile 9.5, and finally Xperia X1’s Facebook Panel.

Personally, I just run the full Facebook page via Skyfire. How do you use Facebook on your WinMo phone?
