After reviewing the Powermat from a logical standpoint I went back and read some responses that users had on various websites. The biggest response was that the cool factor of having the Powermat outweighed the practicality of it. I decided to see if my initial reaction was wrong and it is cool enough to own. Boy has my mind been made up.97ACPVDA6ED3

A few weeks back I mentioned the fact that I am getting more into listening to podcasts. My favorite show is the Lavar Arrington Show on CBS Radio. Thanks to Rod’s suggestion I started listening to Windows Weekly too. Windows Phone, despite the existing install base, does not have many great podcasting apps. Traditionally, most people would use a Zune or iPod, but Rod pointed out all the benefits of a podcasting app that can leverage your mobile phones data plan (See 10 Reason’s Podtrapper is Blackberry Gold). I have gone through several apps and today I am using YomoMedia for Windows Mobile. Finally an application developer built an app for Windows Phone that has a fantastic interface.

So a while back I wrote an article about how bad Windows Media Player Mobile stunk. I set out to find a replacement media app and found Mobile Media Center. The other day I began thinking, if there are a lot of people like me, than most of them will just stick with Windows Media Mobile until it gets better. So this prompted me to find a way to make it more tolerable.

For all the Windows Mobile folks there is the Windows Market Place for Mobile to get Apps for your phone. Before Windows Market Place for Mobile existed there was Handango, and currently they are extending their Year end blowout sale. So if you were hesitant about getting something from them maybe this will put you over the top. Happy New Year.

What happened guys? You used to be beautiful. This is a painful article for me to type but one that needs to be done. I was recently complaining that part of the reason that people have this bad view of Windows Mobile is the fact that developers are abandoning it. For example when the Slingbox first came out I jumped all over it. I was the first in my circle to get one. Add in the fact that SlingMedia came up with a client for Windows Mobile and you are talking about a killer gadget. The interface for the time was fine nothing different than any other Windows Mobile app. But then, enter in the Sling Player Mobile app for the iPhone.
