Today I will be doing just as the title suggests — unlocking and upgrading an HTC Apache to run Windows Mobile 6.1. Or at least that’s what I’m aiming to do. Everyone I’ve told this to seems to snicker and wish me luck. Is it impossible? From a brief bit of internet sleuthing, I’d say it’s possible. Is it practical? Maybe not.
The hardware in the HTC Apache is less than snappy. The Apache runs Windows Mobile 5 originally, has a miniSD slot, 128 MB of internal memory, a 416 MHz PXA270 CPU, 64k-colour TFT, 1.3 MP camera, Bluetooth, WiFi, USB, IR, and has a QWERTY keyboard and a touchscreen.
I’m excited to get this show on the road — so let’s see if I can’t find myself a good, stable ROM to start. Stay tuned for Part 2!
In the meantime, tell me — what’s the craziest upgrade/unlock you’ve done?
In looking for some good quality stereo Bluetooth headphones for my HTC Touch Pro, I stumbled onto the Jabra BT8030 headset which turned out to be, in my opinion, the best headphones I’ve ever used. Seriously. These things are absolutely luxurious — they pair with any Bluetooth enabled devices (mobile phone, PC, media player, etc.) like a breeze, come with ZIRENE audio enhancement, and can be used in headset mode, speakerphone mode, handsfree, and can be unfolded to transform into some really cool speakers!

With a scalable interface that can go between the touchable finger user interface, to a stylus use interface, all the way to a completely one handed interface Pocket Informant 8 works the way you want it to.
My full review – including plenty of screenshots, key features, and install info – is after the jump!

Surprise, surprise! CNET’s Bonnia Cha has recommended the Samsung Omnia (on Verizon Wireless) over the new and much anticipated BlackBerry Storm. Cha says she prefers the Omnia because its operating system is a bit quicker to respond:
Though slightly more expensive, Verizon customers looking for a touch-screen smartphone will get a better user experience and faster performance from the Samsung Omnia than the RIM BlackBerry Storm.

Are you in the market for a new Windows Mobile phone? Well the good folks over at Mobile Tech Review have just posted up a very detailed and lengthy video review of the new Sony Xperia X1. They are “very impressed” with this WinMo device:
The hardware is impeccable, the panels are both fascinating and useful, and of course there’s no carrier bloatware! Though other phones offer many of the same features, somehow the Xperia X1 has that special sauce where the whole is greater than just the sum of its features. It’s fun, it’s cool and it offers very good entertainment possibilities while also being a very good business device thanks to Windows Mobile, the hardware keyboard and push email. The Xperia is perfect for power users and those who like something new and different (courtesy of panels), and it’s priced at the high end where mostly power users tread. If you’re just looking for an affordable Windows Mobile touch screen phone with a single user interface, the Xperia isn’t for you.

The object of Plant Tycoon is not so different from the goal of Fish Tycoon — only instead of finding the seven magic fish of Isola, you are to discover the four magic plants including the Magic Fruit of Life. Each magic plant will give you permanent enhancements and abilities that will bring fortune and fame to your plant nursery. You discover these magic plants by cross-breeding plants and solving genetic riddles.
You start with a couple of dollars, a handful of seeds, some soil and water. Grow plants, organize and harvest seeds. Monitor the plants health, age and maturity and be careful of dehydration and infestations. Sell some of your creations to fund your research and to buy better supplies to use in your Nursery. Discover the four magic plants and get rich!
The object of Fish Tycoon game is to discover the seven magic fish of Isola and restore the island to its former glory. It’s simple game – start it up and quickly become a lil fish farmer right away! It’s not time consuming unless you want it to be and the game itself is small so it’s not a big resource hog.
You start with a small selection of fish, some money and a tank. You must breed them, care for them, help them grow, and cure them if they get sick. Along the way you can buy supplies, medicine, research technologies or invest in advertisement to enable you to discover rarer and rarer species until you find the Magic Fish. All of this will be financed by selling exotic hybrids in your shop where cartoon kids come with their parents to tap on cartoon aquarium glass. It’s just like real life!
The game actually runs in real-time, so when your device is turned off or you exit the game, hours later small fish will have grown larger and new surprises await you.

As we all know, the Samsung Saga is soon to hit Verizon Wireless stores. In fact, it’ll be in stores and ready to go home with you on December 1st.
But have you noticed… how blue this handset is? I know, I know – is this really news worthy? Well, no. But I had to draw attention to it again, just in case you had missed this. Now, I’m more of a purist — handsets should come in straight black or hot pink (I’m still a girl, alright?) But I have to say, this looks fairly sweet! Is this why our readers want this phone so badly? Cause I’ll grant you that one. I mean, if the HTC Touch Pro came in hot pink…
Thoughts?
According to a forum thread over at XDA Developers, there are some major gripes about Sprint’s much hyped Touch Pro.
Biggest complaints?
So, readers – are any of you Sprint Touch Pro users having any issues? I’d love to hear about them. Let’s add to the list! (Or, hey, take away from it – I’d much rather hear that it’s worthwhile. I love the Touch Pro!)
Microsoft has begun previewing their newest version of Internet Explorer Mobile (version 6) as a free emulator online. And while it’s no Skyfire, Iris, or Opera… it’s not terrible. It is, at the very least, a huge improvement over Internet Explorer Mobile 5.
I have high hopes for this one, which I was sure I’d never say about Internet Explorer in any incarnation. But here it is, you heard it here first.
IE Mobile 6 features multiple zoom capabilities, better and deeper search integration, enhanced script and AJAX support, support for full fidelity desktop rendering, text wrap, Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 for Adobe Flash content, enhanced cursor navigation, touch and gesture support (pan support), and switch between mobile and desktop modes.

This video from pocketnow shows off some of the cool software on the new HTC Touch HD. And, since the HTC Touch HD doesn’t have a hardware keyboard, be sure to check out the part of the video that takes a look at how usable the on-screen keyboard is — looks great!
This device seems very similar to many of the new Touch devices from HTC and actually runs the same version of TouchFLO 3D as the Samsung XPERIA X1.
