Ok here we go the question is:
Is there a way that I can put the radio archive programs onto my
Pocket PC and listen to them on it? When I try to save one as a file it
saves it as an M3U file which my Pocket PC does not have a player for.
Does MusicMatch have a player for the Pocket PC? Or is there a way that I can convert them to a different type of file such as an MP3 or a WAV file?
Looking forward to hearing from you all!

Exchange 2003 SP2 functionality on WM5

Hi guys,
I've upgraded server at work to Exchange 2003 SP2. The server is fine (Thank goodness for that). However, my patched BA (WM5) is flacky with the settings that goes with the new push and pull email technology.
If SSL is checked when setting up Exchange server configuration on my BA using Active Sync, I get an error message that Server can not be reached. But then when I switch of SSL, all my contacts and emails are synchronized over WiFi successfully.
Another problem is that Server side security configuration (i.e. Enforce password on device set within Mobile Services on Exchange System Manager) is not reflecting on my PDA. Has anyone tried out this technology and what's your experience with so far?

I think you'll find you need Microsoft's Messaging and Security Feature Pack installed on the WM5 device, the only problem is that it's not available yet :roll: We're waiting for just this also!
br/Bosseye

HA!
Now that would explain why all the security feature failed to work. Thanks for the information.
When is the update planned for released?
Cytrax

Also, if it works with No-SSL, then you're getting to the Default Website on your SP2, which means SSL is not set on that. It'll work on WiFi because you'll have Port80 (http) access to the server from your internal network. Will only work over GPRS if you've got Port80 forwarded to the same server, and not off to somewhere else, or blocked. Also beware that if you're hosting multiple sites (via http headers) on the same box as you're SP2 is, then http and SSL sites don't mix readily. Hope this helps. br/Bosseye.

Hey Bosseye,
That's really strange because I know for a fact that SSL Port 443) is configured to forward all to the Server. Port 80 is also set to forward to the same server but not really used.
Furthermore, I'm running the test from home so I'm not exactly on the work LAN. This creates more confusion for me because exchange is configured on IIS to use SSL and not HTTP. What do you think is happening here?
Thanks.

Utter crap. Just seen that Microsoft's Messaging and Security Feature Pack isn't available till 2006, and then only via OEM. Sounds like Blackberry connect all over again

That's BS!
WTF were Microsoft thinking?
I guess it's back to the drawing board again for all developers on Wiki.
That's BS man!

Well - I was on the Microsoft webcast last week about the MSFP on 20 Oct and the presenter clearly said "anytime now". Without it, MS is failing the primary purpose of a wireless PDA - sync with the enterprise email - and that'll sure irritate their partners who want to shift more PDAs that do stuff other than consumer retro-fit sat nav for cars!

Hey Cytrax,
Difficult to say much about your current problem cos I don't have much info on your setup, but if you're sure that Exch is on SSL, you did remember to put the right certificate on the WM5 device after you upgraded it? However, if you've also got port80 forwarded then, it should work without SSL. Any more clues?
br/

Well, I've seen some slides for Exchange SP2 / MSFP for a talk at the Microsoft IT Forum in Barcelona, I quote from the slide:
MSFP will be rolled into Windows Mobile 5.0 AKU2
For devices shipping after AKU2, OEMs can pick up MSFP as part of normal AKU process
For 5.0 devices already in market, OEMs can use Image Update to deploy MSFP
For Windows Mobile 2003 SE devices already in market, OEMs can provide traditional ROM upgrades via ROM re-flash – complete upgrade to 5.0 required
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/business/strategy/wm5exch03.mspx
Devices and upgrades will be available sometime early next calendar year through our major device maker (OEM) and mobile operator partners. Please contact your device maker or mobile operators for more details regarding availability

I actually in a computer magazine last week that people would be able to download MSFT from Microsoft this month.
As things stand, I really don't know what to believe. However, I personally think they (Microsoft) would have no choice but to release it as a download for the public.

Well, despite what I heard then, I'm now hearing that Microsoft's route to market will be via OEMs and Mobile operators :roll: , and that the release date will be Q1/2006 - which means 31st March 2006...
The same old stupid mistakes... just like Blackberry. Every minor advancement of mobile messaging just extracts more money... thereby minimising market adoption. :evil:
I refuse to subscribe to a strategy of lining the packets of the OEMs and the Mobile operators, as I pay enough in licences to Microsoft already...

Seriously, this is total BS.
My company has been waiting to get this technology for sometime now . But only to find out we can only get our hands on through most phone operators is just straight up wack.
I'm sure Wiki would be alive to derail all their money making plans. Fingers crossed!

If nothing has changed before the 14th November, then I'm off to the Microsoft IT Forum in Barcelona for a week, so I'll go ask Jason Langridge in person. He's helped me out a couple of times in the past and is a good lad

Dude, you've got the best job. You get to this forums? I would love to work for your company. Any openings coming up soon?

U CAN Animate Large weather radars and Sat's

Everyone At XDA has given me so much I feel like I need to Give a little back.
I learned this when I had my treo 650, If you hate the tiny radars and satelite pictures you get on your phone, or don't want to load the whole weather page from your local news site, here is my fix for that.
1) on your computer find the local radar or Satelite that you want on your phone. (if you want animated view, animate 1st.)
2)Move cursor over map and right click mouse. Select properties.
3)High lite the Address (URL) right click mouse copy and paste in an E-mail and send it to your phone.
4) once on your phone you can open the e-mail and just select the URL address and your browser will load it. Save it to favorite's and you got it.
You only have to do this one time is seems that updates and changes are automaticaly saved to the same URL address.
5)the following web sites I know work where I am. P=Pic/A=Animate
Wungerground.com (P&A)
Accuweather.com (P&A)
bigblue marble.com (P&A)
Intellicast.com (P)
(intellicast and big blue marble sat's photos are huge(date size) but pretty and detailed)
Noaa Radars USA (Use Standard Version link below NOAA Emblem) (P&A)
National Hurricane Center Sat's (P)only
Localwireless.com USA (P&A)
I used them during the 2005 hurricane season and was well informed
Try your locals and nationals good luck' Jami J
Java loads and Flash will not work on my phones (TREO 650) Or (TILT)
dose anyone know how to make them work?

Nice tip, thanks. I check Weather Underground every day on my PC but hadn't thought to try it yet on my Tilt.

Wifi Printing from Kaiser - can it be done?

Ok ive got this awesome new phone, just love it!
Ive got a hp 1800NW wifi printer, id like to be able to wifi print from anywhere in the house from my lovely new kaiser.
What tools do i need to get this job done?
Has anyone done this?
Many thanks
Surely this should have been one of the first things dealt with natively by win mobile 6?

Not sure if it works with WM6 (only mentions WM5), but this sounds like about the only product that will print via WiFi from a PPC....
Bachmann Software's PrintBoy V7
There's a 15-day trial available, so you don't have to shell out £50 for the full product until you've had a chance to test it!
By the look of things, it prints Word and PDF documents and not much more, so it might be less than useful
HTH,
Mark.
(Yeah, I've seen the TV advert too...looks pretty cool being able to print wirelessly, but it doesn't quite look as though its a reality just yet....)

I'd like to play with wifi printing as well, haven't even tried to search about this yet, hopefully there is an easy method!

WiFi printing has to be done with an app like Printboy (and there are a few around) but I have noticed that in WM6 there is now another option within the mail package.
If you click and hold on any message in the 'Inbox' window, the drop down menu shows 'Print via Bluetooth' and it works well with my HP 450BT printer.
Shame MS did not add this option for any other document though!!
EDIT.. Forgot that I had a registered copy of Printboy for my Universal. Dug it out, dusted it off and installed it on the 'Kaiser'.
Works fine, all you have to do is input the IP address and port 9100 and away it goes. Sometimes it does not format Word document pages too well and it is non-colour but its better than nothing!!

ok is there any free non demo prog available to do this?
thanks

I shelled out for PrintBoy and configured it to print to my networked OfficeJet via WiFi. It prints But there are 2 problems
1 - I can't print ANY SMS or POP3 emails. I can select them but the print button does nothing.
2 - to print word docs from Word Mobile, you must be sure and change the default template from ".docx" to the older ".doc" format of PrintBoy errors out.
I've got an email to tech support for help or refund. Fingers crossed.
I did find a different printing app, PIEprint by Fieldsoftware.com This adds a tap'n'hold print key option while surfing in PIE. This then prints the web page in Color VERY WELL (again over wiFi to my network OfficeJet). Cost $24.95 Great application!
I'm looking for any suggestions for a good email printer over WiFi, if PrintBoy won't work out.

I use JetCet and I am OK with it.

Thanks, I'll check out JetCet.
Here's PrintBoy's reply and my response;

Subject: RE: PrintBoy PPC v7, Email Printing....NOT
Hello Ed,
1. The registration screen does not retain your code. Once you get the successfully registered message , you are registered.
2. Currently PrintBoy does not support .docx files but we do hope to add this support in the future. We do not have an expected time frame for that release.
3. We have had a couple reported bugs in email printing that have been confirmed mostly for email transferred via Activesync. We will be resolving them in the next release. As a workaround, you would need to download mail and choose to "reply" and then save it as a draft then printing.
Best Regards,

Hi Julie,
Thanks for the reply. First, it does look like I can “Forward” my emails and SMS messages, then save as draft, then open PrintBoy and print them. I’d like to add that NONE of my email or SMS is done thru Active Sync. So while this works, it’s not a very simple solution, especially for $50. Do you know approx when the next release is due out? It looks like the program hasn’t been updated in about a year or more?
Ed
