TamsPPC - the PocketPC Blog

Apple’s iPod touch debuted a new kind of thumb keyboard - whenever a key was tapped, a bigger picture of it appeared on the screen above. Vito Technologies now went one step further - their program not only displays the key, but also the surrounding area.

In case you wonder about how this looks - the image below shows the program working in default mode. Whenever you press one of the keys, the bubble containing the magnification is popped up:

The product includes a variety of layouts that can be chosen with th key on the left - the images below show English, numeric and German modes:

A menu can be opened to configure various aspects of the program:

Last but not least, ZoomBoard has a variety of different zoom modes:

This review looked at version 2.0 of the program on a hp ipaq rx4240 running Windows Mobile 5. The program automatically installs itself into the RAM when the cab is launched - no information about the file size is given(and the program cannot be installed onto an external memory card).

In the end, ZoomBoard succeeds in taking Apple’s thumb keyboard system one step further - here, the zoom view really helps when it comes to hitting characters. In case the concept outlined above sounds attractive to you, try out the free trial and purchase this 15$ app in the TamsShop if you like it…

P.S. The text in the screenshots is a short story written by Dr. Kohrs of abc texte. A big thank you goes out to her for permitting us to use it as sample!

Microsoft did an excellent job with the implementation of the PocketPC’s input system - openly-accessible API’s have led to a plethora of input options coming from literally hundreds of software houses. Resco’s Keyboard Pro has recently seen an update - let’s see what it can do:

After installing Resco Keyboard Pro, the application immediately launches a small “setup wizard”. This wizard asks you a few questions in order to determine how you will use the application:

Version 5.0’s most-advertised new feature is called iSkin - a “fullscreen” keyboard that emulates the one found on an iPhone/iPod touch. Resco’s implementation is very faithful and works well, although typing can get a bit hard on the rx4240’s tiny screen:

The keyboard does an excellent job at adjusting to landscape mode:

By the way - Resco’s nifty baby calculator also made it iSkin - this is a feature that Apple didn’t implement into their devices as of now(I can hear someone in Cupertino firing up the copying machines):

As for the other layouts, they are rather plain and do not really adjust to landscape mode:

However, their gesture mode(can also be enabled for iSkin) is a real timesaver. Instead of forcing you to enter commas and spaces by tapping an extra key; gestures allow you to determine the next character by keeping the pen down after pressing a key and pulling it along the screen in a specified direction:

This review looked at a prerelease version of Resco Keyboard Pro 5.0 on a hp ipaq rx4240. The program needs 920KB of memory and can be installed onto a memory card without any issues.

Cutting a long story short: people who like to use the standard PocketPC keyboard will definitely love Resco Keyboard Pro as its gestures save loads of time. People looking for a real full-screen keyboard face a little dilemma: real fullscreen keyboard applications have bigger keys; but cover up the screen. Luckily, a free trial of Resco Keyboard Pro is available from Resco’s web page - head over and see if it saves you 20$ worth of time!

The first part of Sebastian Sell’s review looked at the Opera Mobile browser in general. Part 2 focuses on tabbed browsing and resource consumption - read on to find out how much memory you will need for comfortable tabbed browsing!

tabbed browsing
Tabbed browsing is one of the main reasons, why you will prefer Opera Mobile. It’s possible to have several pages opened at the same time, to toggle between them just tap onto the title of the tab you want to open.

Also, I thought the resource consumption with more tabs opened would be interesting. Read the details in “Opera resource consumption”.

Opera settings
The settings of Opera Mobile can be found under Menu –> Tools –> Settings. In the first tap “General” it is possible to change the home page which should load up every time the browser is started. The “Identify as” option can be set to “Desktop computer” or “Handheld device”. To see the difference, try to visit “www.pdassi.de” in “Handheld device” mode first, then in “Desktop computer” mode. In the first case, the version which is optimized for mobile devices will be displayed, in the second you get the default, for desktop computer optimized page.

Opera comes with a build-in pop-up blocker, which can be either enabled or disabled in the settings. To clear the browsing history, cookies or cache, just navigate to the “History”-tab in the settings and hit the desired button. The cache size can be set here too, by default, it’s 8000 KB. The security protocols (SSL2, SSL3, TLS1) can be disabled in the “Security”-tab, they are by default enabled (recommended).

In the misc. settings tab, JavaScript, Plug-Ins, animations and cookies can be disabled. If Opera should be your default browser for opening web pages, just check the “Set Opera as default browser” checkbox if it isn’t already. Grab and scroll can either be enabled here or on any page, through the context menu (long tap onto the web site).

Opera resource consumption
I measured the RAM consumption with DinarSofts MemMaid:

note: this test was done with DSL 2000 KBit/s and the following settings: PIE: One Column, Text Size = Medium, High Resolution *not* enabled; Opera: Desktop Mode, High Resolution enabled, Zoom = 90%

Startup time Opera: 15.87 sec.
Startup time PIE: 04.75 sec.

Security
Opera supports the security protocols SSL 2, SSL 3 and TLS 1. I had no problems with any web site which requires SSL like Google Mail, or Avant Go. Unfortunately, the Opera Password Manager “WAND” is not included in the mobile version of Opera. Maybe they will add this feature in upcoming versions.

pros and cons
+ good CSS support
+ Flash Player compatible
+ “grab and scroll” feature
+ tabbed browsing
+ PIE Favorite Importer
+ full screen mode
- sometimes slow page rendering

Opera Browser for Pocket PC

Many of you might use the Opera Browser on the desktop PC. This review will show some features of the version 8.65 for Windows Mobile Devices.

Test system:
Dell Axim x51v

• 624 MHz Intel XScale PXA 270 processor
• 64 MB RAM
• 256 MB ROM
• Windows Mobile 6 Classic
• VGA Screen

page layouts
The Opera browser for Pocket PC can display web pages in two different modes: desktop mode and fit to screen mode.

In desktop mode, the web browser doesn’t change anything at the web site and the layout should be the same as on a desktop computer. Anyway, there are many pages which can’t be displayed, because the mobile browser’s CSS support isn’t by far as advanced as on a desktop.
The second display mode is called “Fit to screen”, and I would recommend this one for most of the sites. The browser resizes every site to fit to the screen of a Pocket PC, so that you only have to scroll up and down, but not left and right.

In every of these modes, it’s possible to zoom in and out in a range from 25% to 200 % zoom, as well as disable image loading for a lower traffic consumption. There is a full screen mode too, which hides the upper windows bar and the menu bar to have more room to display the webpage. The display can be rotated right out of the browser, just tap “Menu” –> “Display” –> “Landscape” to toggle between landscape and portrait mode. I have no idea if this works only for the WM5/WM6 version or for the WM 2003 version too. If you are owner of a WM2003 device, please try it out and post the result as a comment!

browser compatibility
For this, I visited http://aadmm.de and tried several things. According to this page, Opera handles CSS 1, 2.1 without problems (the basic things), but I wasn’t sure at CSS 3. Opera had trouble with JavaScript on a site, which could be handled without problems in PIE. Anyway, except the flash player, opera can not handle any other plug-ins like QuickTime, RealPlayer or Java (as far as I know). The flash player plug-in can be downloaded at the Adobe Homepage. After installing it, make sure “Enable Plug-Ins” under “Menu” –> “Tools” –> “Settings” –> “Misc.” is checked and restart the browser to enable the Flash Player. Opera Browser can even handle YouTube if you install it and set “Identify as” to “Desktop computer” - but don’t expect too much, it runs very slow and by far not every video is loading:

MyVideo doesn’t work at all. Compared to the Pocket Internet Explorer, Opera can display many sites correctly where the PIE failed, especially if CSS is used. Some pages, like Google Mail (the desktop PC HTML version) look ugly and become unusable because of text overlapping and other things (in both Opera and PIE).
(Opera Mobile)(Internet Explorer Mobile)

Downloads are handled different than in the PIE. When a download is started, the Opera download manager will open up where you can get an overview over the current downloads. You have the possibility to stop, resume or delete them. The download manager can be find under “Menu” –> “Tools” –> “Show Downloads”

An other interesting feature is the Favorite importer, which can be accessed under “Menu” –> “Tools” –> “Manage Bookmarks” –> “Menu” –> “Import IE Favorites”

Please tune in soon for Part 2 of the review - it will look at resource consumption, tabbed browsing and a variety of other fun topics!

The 3rd program of the Spb Business Pack - Spb Diary - is a replacement for the default Pocket Outlook today-plugins.

The installer lets you choose if the program should disable the Pocket Outlook today plugins automatically. It is recommended that you let it disable them - SPB Diary replaces them completely Now lets take a closer look at the program. You will notice that it is divided into 3 parts: the left column has several tabs to toggle between calender view, tasks, contacts, notes (displays word documents, excel sheets, voice notes and hand drawn notes), messaging and special events.

Now what’s so special? At first, you may notice, that if you have an appointment in the next seven days and Spb Traveler installed, there is a small icon at the right side of the date which shows the weather for this day. Tap on it and a window with a detailed weather view will appear.

The appointments are listed in a neatly arranged way:

The contacts tab lists all contacts of Pocket Outlook in different ways: the default list and photo thumbnails (if you have assigned a photo to the contacts. Those which don’t have a photo will be shown as text) :

The mail-tab is very different from the one Pocket Outlook uses, there isn’t only listed how many unread messages you have. Spb Diary shows all messages stored in the ‘Inbox’-folder with sender, subject and the time when it was received. New messages are shown with a bold font.

Interesting for those who can’t remember birthdays: the ’special events’ tab shows upcoming anniversary’s and birthdays:
Overall, SPB Diary is a potentially-useful add-on for your PocketPC’s today screen. Get the free trial to see if it suits your taste - if you like it, get it for 20$ in the TamsShop.

Welcome back to the TamsPPC StyleTap review. Part 1 looked at the installation and setup process of StyleTap - now that StyleTap is running, let’s see how a bunch of popular Palm OS apps like it:

AcidImage
An old version of AcidImage laying around on a memory card worked and displayed images in QVGA mode - however, the program had a bunch of weird display quirks:

Discovery
PalmSource’s ever-popular bluetooth device scanner does not work with StyleTap - apparently, the program does not support bluetooth(yet):

Documents To Go 9
DocumentsToGo 9 worked well in StyleTap. Parts of the application even appeared in native resolutions - but other parts of the suite had incredible display problems leading to parts of the UI being displayed entirely in red:

PocketTunes
PocketTunes worked well in StyleTap - it could even run in the background.

Resco Explorer
Resco Explorer worked flawlessly, although it had its issues with the display resolution:

SrcEdit
Jogn Wilund’s source code editor works with StyleTap - as long as custom fonts stay disabled:

VersaMail 2.7.1
Palm’s ever-popular, always-crashing email client works in StyleTap but does not display the emails in list mode. This could be due to a missing file though…as the rest of the program works fine:

Overall, most Palm OS applications worked pretty well(although in lowres - Palm developers rarely support QVGA natively). Some applications still have minor but annoying quirks - however, the manufacturer is busily chasing these down. Tune in soon to find out more about compatibility with games!

Welcome back to Part IIb of the SPB Traveler review by Sebastian Sell. In case you missed Part a, it can be found right here.

Unit Converter:

The unit converter works like the currency converter. It will convert length, temperature, area, speed, weight, volume and pressure units. The program seems to support all units in everyday use…

Meeting Planner:

Select a city, time and date of the appointment. You can then assign a subject and some notes, and if you tap create, SPB Traveler will create an appointment in Pocket Outlook. A simple, but useful feature.

Clothing Size:

Different countries, different clothing sizes. Not much to say here, it does it’s job very well with a nice interface. Supported sizes are from Europe, US, UK, Japan, US Named, JP Named, France, Mexico, Russia, Australia, inches and centimeters. You can choose betwen ‘Man’, ‘Woman’ and ‘Child’ as well as ‘Hats’, ‘Shirts’, ‘Shoes’, ‘Socks’, ‘Suits and Coats’, ‘Waists’, ‘Dresses/Blouses’, ‘Rings’ and ‘T-Shirts’.

Time Converter:

This gadget is very useful if you travel around the world. You can enter the time in any time zone, and the time converter shows you the time in the other time zones you select.

Tip Calculator:

If you are in a restaurant and you have no idea how many tips you should pay, this tool will help you. Enter the amount of your bill and the tips rate, then, the tip calculator will calculate the total sum. Optionally, you can split the bill among up to ten people.

Conclusion:

With this program full of useful information, you will be (almost) never lost if you travel around the earth. My personal rating: 5 out of 5 points. SPB Traveler is available in the TamsShop.

SPB Traveler is an application which could be helpful if you travel a lot in different countries. The program comes with a currency converter, a flight assistant, a time converter, tips calculator, a light version of SPB Weather and a unit converter. You can also find a game with questions like ‘Which country has this flag? [picture of a flag]‘ or ‘What country has the capital Nassau?’. You have multiple choices and you have to give a right answer before you proceed to the next question. There is also a time limit which can be set to 1, 3 or 5 minutes.

Main application:

The main application is the most important part of SPB Traveler. It is recommended to add your hometown if you start the program for the first time. If you found your city and selected it, SPB Traveler will show the most important information you have to know about this city:

• the current time in the selected city (useful if you travel to another time zone)
• the weather (temperatures, humidity, atmospheric pressure, and the wind direction and speed)
• the area code (for instance for Dortmund/Germany: +49 [<-- German area code] 231 [<-- local area code] )
• the tips rate
• important links, like the homepage of the city
• a currency converter (more information later in this article)
• a unit unit converter (more information later in this article)
• clothing sizes (more information later in this article)
• Sunrise and Sunset
• location (coordinates)

You can adjust the view of the city list according to your wishes: Wide icons, narrow icons, two lines or one line. It’s also possible to show a map where the cities added are marked with a flag.

Currency Converter:

The currency converter knows (nearly) all currencies of the world. The input is done with a calculator which pops up if you tap into a text box. You can convert one currency into 3 others at one stroke, but don’t forget to update the currency rates via the Internet before you convert them! Any connection type to the Internet is supported.

Tune in soon for Part IIb of the review!

Sebastian Sell currently works on reviewing SPB’s recently-released Business pack. Here comes the first part looking at SPB Finance:

With Spb Finance, you can easily manage your incomes and expenses.
When you start Spb Finance for the first time, you need to create a new account. Tap ‘new’, and choose between several account types: ‘Cash’, ‘Bank’, ‘Credit Card’, ‘Asset’ and ‘Liability’.

After tapping next, enter an account name, description, currency, and an opening balance. You will return to the main window and as you see, it’s quite easy to handle with Spb Finance.

In the tab ‘Register’, all transactions are listed with the date when it was created and the Ending Balance. If you create a new transaction, there are some fields to fill out like a category, a date, the currency, payee, and of course the amount. In addition, you can write a memo and set a schedule with a reminder.

Now lets come to the tab “Reports” which I find quite interesting. You can choose between 8 different graphs and if you choose one of them, Spb Finance will draw a graph for example for the accounts and their balance or ‘Spending by Class’ (pie chart). The option ‘Profit and Loss’ will show 3 graphs: profit, loss, and the difference, the option ‘Income and Expense’ shows - and who guessed that? - the income and expense

The options menu lets you choose a data file location, an automatical backup file location, customizable fonts, and you can switch between soft-keys style menu (use this for WM5 and higher!) and default menu.
Spb Finance comes with a today plugin.

Conclusion:
Spb Finance is a powerful finance manager with export/import function and several other features. Because of its password protection, you don’t have to worry that you fellow citizens will get any personal information. I would give the program 4 1/2 of 5 points.

Use the code CHEAPRECORDER to get 20% off Resco Audio recorder at the TamsShop

Handhelds have had audio recording capabilities for quite some time. However, they all were limited to recording audio in formats that either required loads of storage space or were impossible to use on the desktop. Resco’s Audio recorder can record MP3 and OGG files…can it stack up?

The program has very clean interface. The list shows all the files on the machine, the buttons are used for starting the recording process. The bar on the left side of the button serves as a ‘volume indicator’, showing the volume of the incoming audio signal:

The format of the output data can be chosen easily in the menu(5 presets):

If more control is needed, the presets can also be customized(format and audio encoding). The images below show a few of the possible formats:

Resco Audio recorder can record to both internal memory and an external memory card. The program can also turn the PocketPC’s screen off while recording:

Most audio recorders fail when a variety of speakers must be recorded, as their voices are differently loud. Resco audio Recorder contains a “Gain control” mode that guarantees more-less constant volume under such circumstances…altough it can slightly increase noise:

This review looked at version 4.0.0 of Resco Audio recorder on a hp ipaq rx4240. The program was very stable in the reviewing period and showed no weird behavior whatsoever even when run from a memory card.

Overall, if you record voice with your PocketPC, get this program by all means. The direct MP3 export alone is such a time saver that the 20$ are well invested. Resco Audio Recorder’s additional features make this an almost-perfect voice recorder that you definitely don’t want to miss!

If you miss a template, just leave a comment here. SPB Software reads TamsPPC - so leave a comment here and it will probably get added to V2 of SPB Wallet!

When one hears the word wallet, one usually thinks of a program to manage your personal finances(and not of a password manager). Many people will thus overlook SPB’s just-released password/credential manager…which is a pitty. Read on to find out why…

After starting SPB Wallet for the first time, the program asks you to create a new wallet. A wallet is like an encrypted ‘folder’, in which privileged data can be saved.

The program does an excellent job in helping you choose a password; a hint can be stored too:

A ‘wallet’ contains so-called cards, which then contain one or more fields with the data. Cards can be structured in folders, they can be traversed in iconic and tree view:

Each card’s layout is dependent on a so-called template, it specifies the contained fields and the graphical appearance of the card. The images below show SPB’s credit card template:

SPB Wallet ships a load of templates covering most areas of life - I tried to get a list off templates from SPB, and will post it once it arrives(update: the list is here). Should you ever need a template not contained in the program, fear not - creating custom templates is easy:

Wallets lock themselves after a predefined time. SPB’s default time is 30min, which I personally consider too long. However, changing this value in the prefs is easy:

Last but not least, the program also contains a password creator:

This review looked at a prerelease version of SPB Wallet on a hp ipaq rx4240. The product was very stable in the whole reviewing period; it costs 29.95$ and is available in the TamsShop!

Overall, SPB Wallet is a very well-done password manager with a huge loads of functions. Grasping the concept of wallets, cards and templates takes a bit of time; but once this is done, using the program is very easy. Get the trial by all means, and see if it suits you - a review covering all aspects of the program would have 20 pages or so…

Creating screenshots for Palm OS software reviews is easy - the wannabe reviewer can choose from a plethora of well-done screenshot tools that run natively on the handheld of choice. PocketPc screenshot tools usually are either Pc-based or can’t capture photos of open menus(clicking the trigger button closes the menu). When reviewing Resco Photo Viewer, I noticed that Resco ships a cool screenshot freebie along it - can it stack up?

Starting Screen Capture pops up the menu shown below. Tapping Capture captures the screen immediately after closing the form. Clicking on after 10s closes the form and captures the screen after 10 seconds:

Clicking Settings opens the menu below - you can choose BMP, PNG and JPG image formats:

Here’s a photo of an open menu:

To cut a long story short, Screen Capture is the best screenshot tool for PocketPC. The delayed screenshot facility allows you to capture snapshots of open menus and other things that are impossible to capture otherwise. While I’d welcome a trigger button, the variety of supported output formats completely compensates this omission. This program alone is worth the price of Resco Photo Viewer..

The hp ipaq rx4240 is sold/advertised as a mediacentric handheld. However, its included photo viewer never really worked for me(a source of endless frustration)… . Resco’s Photo Viewer for Palm OS scored a rave review at TamsPalm’s - so my expectations for the PocketPC version of the program were high. Can it stack up?

After installing Resco Photo Viewer, the program asks for permission to become default viewer for a variety of file types. The screenshot below shows all supported file types:

Navigating around the memory card is easy - the program allows you to either switch to a folder-only view or displays a folder bar on top of the images:

A feature called albums allows you to group together pictures from various sources for more comfortable viewing. You can, for example, create an Album of the best pictures on a memory card:

Images are shown in four different view modes(list, three iconic modes). The program transparently creates thumbnails in the background - you first get a small version, which is then resized for optimal fit:

Multiple images can be selected by either tapping and dragging or activating multiselection mode explicitly. These images can then be moved and sent as a group:

Tapping on an image opens it for viewing. Images can be zoomed, rotated and panned freely in real-time:

Images can be cropped, resized and color-corrected on the handheld:

Resco Photo Viewer also allows you to convert images to JPG, BMP or PNG types. This can be very handy for compressing screenshots on the go and is a feature I have never ever seen before in a handheld image viewer…kudos to Resco on that one, if only it supported GIF.

Handwritten notes and doodles can be scribbled onto an open image(and saved into a new image). Unfortunately, the color selector didn’t work on my ipaq - I was limited to black:

Resco’s image viewers have always had an outstanding slideshow module that can be used to show images. The transition effects are really well-done - try them out yourself!

Last but not least, Resco Photo Viewer ships with a cool screenshot program that will be covered in a seperate review!

Overall, I am shocked and awed by Resco Photo Viewer - this product is truly insane! I have seen a lot of image viewers, but none has offered so much flexibility when image processing and editing is concerned. Combined with Resco’s traditionally well-done image viewing and slideshow modules, we have yet another must-have product for every PocketPC… Tune in soon for a look at the screenshot tool that ships along as a free bonus!

People who know me well know that I literally try to code everywhere I am - even on the go. Palm OS users have had SrcEdit for years…and CEdit is it’s complement for the PocketPC. I was on the SrcEdit beta team for ages, the product is thus very stable, feature-rich and fast - can CEdit stack up?

CEdit is structured around ‘projects’ rather than individual files. Visual Studio project files on the PocketPC can be opened to reveal their ‘internal structure’:

CEdit also has its own project file format - it allows the adding/removing of files on the go. Visual Studio projects can not be edited this way on the PocketPC though:

Clicking one of the files of such a project allows you to edit it. The editor highlights like Visual Studio on default settings, the highlighting colors can not be changed. The editor determines the used language by looking at the file ending:

The program has a function bookmark list that analyzes the source code file to determine all functions in it. Tapping one of them takes you to its definition:

CEdit also has a Find/Replace functionality accessible from the toolbar:

The editor supports a variety of fonts that get rendered in a cleartypeesque shape even in landscape mode. The default font isn’t as readable as SrcEdit’s, but still works well - I am currently evaluating other fonts and will keep you posted:

CEdit supports the following types of project file:

• Visual C#(.csproj)
• Visual Basic.NET(.vbproj)
• Visual C++(.dsp)
• Visual Basic(.vbp)
• Embedded VB(.ebp)
• Embedded VC++(.vcp)

The following file types are supported with syntax highlighting:

• Visual C++
• Visual C#
• HTML
• XML
• PHP
• ASP.net, ASP 3.0
• Java
• JSP
• Visual Basic .net, 6.0

LogicalSky’s CEdit has a pretty well-done help system onboard. It can be accessed from the Start Menu by clicking help:

Last but not least, CEdit is NOT an IDE. It does not contain a graphical GUI editor or a compiler! However, a customizeable Tools menu allows you to integrate compilers and other utilities from third-party developers!

This review looked at version 3.5 of CEdit on a hp ipaq rx4240. CEdit supports both landscape and portrait displays!

Overall, CEdit delivers its promise - a working programmer’s editor with syntax highlighting for PocketPC’s. Editing/Viewing code contained Visual Studio projects is possible, although I would wish to see a better toolbar, a small bitmap font and Visual Studio project file editing in the next version! The program costs reasonable 20$ at the TamsShop!
