Since M$ is taking their sweet @$$ time releasing Deepfish I started looking for a Web Browser that acted like the iPhone. My search resulted with this video . Like what you see? then use this file to make it a reality.
Just a quick note, this program doesn't do an auto connect to your data connection if it's not currently active. You'll have to activate it manually form the Connections Tab under "Settings."
I think it's called Picsel Browser...

Well don't tell my Wing that, because it thinks it's a Samsung!
And it's illegal to share that file since it's considered in "Warez" category.
(Like i care, i've every kind of "warez" installed, hehe)

Is it really? What's the difference between this file (which isn't available as a stand alone product for sale) and all the other things that gets posted on here? I'm not arguing with you, I just want to know for sure what constitutes as warez and what doesn't.
can't wait to try this. They should sell this it looks pretty nice. Sad they are only into licensing to specific companies.
I installed it and Im getting an error message that says Unable to connect to the server. Anybody else have any issues?
Works perfectly on my p4350 with TouchFlo 1.1 on it.
Official Wing testing will be conducted t-minus 45 minutes
Allright. Works perfect on my wing.
Running Touchflo 1.1.

Well, correct me if i'm wrong but as much as i know, distribution of this program is not legal since it's a products specially coded for/by Samsung. Picsel Browser is not being distributed freely, is it? So, sharing this program is illegal which puts this program in to "warez" status. It's not that a software is warez only when you share a crack or serial along with the release.
As the definition says:
Warez is a derivative for the plural form of the word "software" meaning copyrighted material traded in violation of its copyright license. The term generally refers to releases by organized groups, as opposed to peer-to-peer file sharing between friends or large groups of people with similar interest using a Darknet. It normally does not refer to commercial for-profit piracy.

Therefore, sharing this software makes it "warez" since we're violating it's copyright rules.
This is my humble opinion about the matter.
this is a nice program but since development of this program has not been extended to cover windows mobile there are many problems with this browser. My biggest issue with this application when I initially tried it a while back was that it had trouble with forms and authenticating web pages, made it quite difficult to log into some sites. Used as a pdf reader, picture viewer, browsing blogs, and viewing various files it is quite a remarkable program considering how long ago it came out. Would definately sign a petition to get this up and running again...
Definitely a neat program! It works fast and convenient. It's true that a lot of html gets screwed up, forms and frames and scripts won't always run as they're supposed to but.. I don't think microsofts standard mobile solution in wm6 is much better on that front. This thing makes webbrowsing fun on mobile phones, I can't say that for Pocket IE.
I do however get this cube thing all the time while playing with sites and images.. strangest thing ever

Yeah, the problem there is that this web browser doesn't do an auto connect to your data service. You'll have to launch it manually (Start Menu-Settings-Connections Tab-Connections-Manage Connections-then highlight your data connection and select connect). Hope this helps
Memory Hog
Running it on an 8125 (Wizard) WM5. App over all works great but man is it a ram memory hog. I can start with 15 or 17 mb and after a few minutes of searching the web I am getting messages say to free up some memory so it can proceed. I check it in settings and I am down to 1 or 2%. WOW!! No other programs running in the task manager. Great program just wish it didn't suck the resources dry.....

Tyler, you don't have a mem card, these microSD cards is DIRT cheap!! If you can afford the phone and not the card, then maybe someone should donate you one since you're doing such good work for all of us with the ROMS...
I am not so sure what all the hype about TomTom is, TomTom this and TomTom that, ugh. Could many of us be "victims" of TT's strong US advertising effort? I have been using GPS on Windows Mobile for years with my old school HTC pda2K (w/ external BT GPS). Sure I am going to get an 8925 ASAP and WAS concerned about it being locked down to some lame monthly fee BS for GPS. That tactic would certainly have been short lived thanks to the folks here at xda-developers. However on point.... have a look here ( http://www.gpspassion.com ) if you are really interested in the best GPS software. I have been using this site for some time for all the dirt, good info and comparisons on GPS hardware and especially software.
This link ( http://www.gpspassion.com/en/software/NavOverview.htm ) specfically shows their comparison (quite non-commercial, thorough and unbiased, IMO) among the major GPS software providers and TT ranks pretty low. My choice back in the day was PrymeNav and I'll likely get IGuidance as soon as I get my device.
Well, that comparison is 2004, but IGuidance v4 is still the best overall navigator in my estimation, for US/Canada. I like the fact that the whole map is now a single 1.2gig file, no map switching or loading. Works well on Kaiser. GPSpassion is the best GPS site to get straight talk about all things GPS.
There may be some truth in what you say but with major suppliers there are always those who like to knock the big corporations. (Just think of Microsoft)
Tomtom is talked about so much because it generally works well and from the site you link to:
· Superb User Interface
· Fast routing/re-routing
· Good Nav info
· 3D mode is nice on the highway
and those things happen to be crucial. Now where I would agree with you is on the point they make:
· Poor routes in the US likely due to TeleAtlas map data
This does not however apply so much in Europe where the maps are at least as good as others around.

Did you look at the date on that comparison?
It's MASSIVELY out of date. They talk about TomTom Navigator 3 for EU, 2.24 for US.
TomTom is now up to version 6 for all locations, and I can say from experience that all of the strikes listed against TomTom in that page for version 3/2.24 are no longer valid for 6. (Some were valid in 5).
Back a year ago, when I had a PalmOS device, there were fewer choices:
TomTom
Delorme Street Atlas Handheld
Mapopolis
Garmin GPS 10
I've always liked Garmin, but unfortunately they released the PalmOS version for non-Garmin-sourced PDAs a month after I bought a BT GPS receiver and Garmin will only sell their software bundled with a receiver.
Delorme SAHH is the only way to get topo maps on a handheld. Good for hiking/geocaching, SLOW for anything else. Awful UI on handheld too.
Mapopolis - Cheap, fast, decent UI
TomTom - Fast, great UI, awful map data that was pre-cut with V5.
I tried a less-than-legit version of V6 and will be ordering the full legit version. The map data in V6 is MUCH better than V5 and is not pre-cut allowing for interstate routing. The UI is great, it's *FAST*, and the map data is excellent now.
I realize there are other choices for Windows Mobile than what I had with PalmOS, but TomTom works very well for me.

Are you going to post this in every forum websites? You posted the same info over at Hofo also. I think you are just advertising your program. I will still use Tomtom no matter what.
I have been using TomTom since v5 came out - originally I had a copied version, when v6 came out, I decided that I found it useful enough to buy.
I kind of regret that decision.
I see no difference between the (UK) v5 and v6 maps. In fact, I am sure there are errors in v6 that were not there in v5.
A bunch of these are inexcusable. Things that have not changed in 20 years are wrong.
The main reason I bought it was to get access to the Traffic, but that is the worst feature of all. I have to turn it off or be VERY careful about following it's advice as it usually makes things worse not better.
For example, if it thinks the motorway I am on is congested, it will route me off onto an A road that it has no traffic data for. This road is usually worse than the congested motorway. Even if it is clear, it does not seem to account for intersections, assuming you can blaze through them at max speed.
What I think is really required is some system where the map can be patched. Users should be able to suggest patches to the map - maybe some kind of 3rd party app. Also if road "weighting" (or maybe just tweak the "speed limit" on a road to weight it) could be implimented in lieu of traffic data then that would probably help.
Also, I reckon there has to be some legal mileage in forcing satnav companies to permit you buying software only. If I have paid for western europe telenav maps when I bought TomTom, why should I pay for the same thing again if I use a competitor's satnav product that also uses telenav?
The great news is that there are many choices. I own CoPilot, Destinator, Delorme, Mapopolis, PMN, iGuidance, and TomTom. TomTom's a very good app, maybe better in EU. I believe that NavTec's maps are better than TelAtlas in the US, but that's my opinion from about 12 years of use.
I like to play with these things and I don't hold any of them as sacred. For now I prefer iGuidance v4 on my Kaiser. I like the NavTec Database, I like defining hard keys for 3D/2D, North-Up etc. It's got 3 levels of 3D presentation, TONS of good POI data, map dragging/zooming, and a GUI that works really well.
I'd really like to give Garmin a go, if I could use their PPC software on the Kaiser without their stupid software lock to their bundled BT receiver.
What I look for now is the best GUI and a contiguous map, screw maploaders and piece meal map pruchases and management. The devices have the memory and 1-2 gig dedicated to this valuable function is fine with me. Map data quality today is probably a wash between TelAtlas and NavTec.

OK, sorry about the out of date referral. A big f-up there! I thought it looked suspiciously old but missed the tiny font with the date. The program version numbers should have been a give away as well. There are more up to date reviews of TT6 and iGuidance on some other pages and on their forums.
The points were simple and others are clearly agreeing with me here:
-TT is getting a lot of hype. I have not used it personally but I find it interesting how much folks are focused (to near obsession with it)
-There are many alternatives, and many are probably significantly better than TT in many areas
@RemE - Thanks for the unbiased input from someone who has used a ton of programs!

I understand all the hype etc about TT is blown out of proportion, but man thats really messed up bashing on something youve never even tried. I personally dont push onto people hey you gotta get TT nothing else is better, I never said that & I dont think I will. I am aware there are other software out there that may be better or not. My point in other threads has been simply, "Hey we CAn use other software on the 8925 w/o the use of TeleNav jumpstart & if TT was the software to use @ that moment, so be it."

Nothing wrong with honesty, I have never used it, period. I still don't understand the hype. Again I think some of us are victims of their cute little TV marketing ads. Can you please point out one negative or "bashing" statement I made about TT? Didn't think so.
Okay guys, we have made our points and I think if people read through the posts a pretty fair overall picture will emerge. That appears to be:
Tomtom is fine and generally works well, but there is a range of alternatives some of which may be superior (depending on your needs/preferences) to Tomtom so don't overlook these if you are buying GPS software. Part of the hype for tomtom on the Kaiser forums stems of course from the fact that the Kaiser has been bundled (for some folk) with tomtom software. Not surprising then that we're all talking about it.
Mike
My take
I personally think TomTom sucks (at least in my experience), and here's why:
- Their support is TERRIBLE. Slow to respond, usually off the mark.
- Their maps are horribly inaccurate (for me, in the midwest US).
It took multiple calls and emails to get them to help me with the RETAIL BOX (not and OEM bundle) version I bought first with my Advantage and now with the Kaiser. On the advantage, they tried to tell me I couldn't run all from the Microdrive. I later discovered I could by installing to an SD card first, and then manually copying it over.
Their interface is SLOW, and so many addresses aren't found (on supposedly the latest US Map, according to their TomTom home utility).
Just today, Garmin announced their Mobile XT software on a MicroSD card, and this is significant because previous versions of Garmin Mobile XT required the use of Garmin's GPS hardware, even if you had an integrated GPS. Now, you can FINALLY use Garmin's software with your own GPS, and I couldn't be happier.
In my personal opinion, Garmin's PDA software (and especially their all-in-one units) are VASTLY SUPERIOR to TomTom, at least here in the US, based on my own extensive experiences.
-Rob
rtsrob,
That could be true, at least in US Because for me, TomTom is still the best and I live in Europe. And have no problem with the interface/speed/etc.
What BS! I just don't get Garmin, why the microSD? Last thing I want to do is pull memory cards just to navigate. I use a 6gig now and it's staying put in my device, many apps need the card so it makes no sense to use a seperate card. This is why I didn't bother with iGo same issue, sheesh.
Regarding support, iGuidance doesn't do much either, when we flashed WM6 to Hermes, iNAV could not/would not believe my detailed description about WM6pro being a standard PPC OS, they kept saying "sorry we don't support WM6, it's only for smart phones, they are not touch screens". Fortunately the S/W just works and GPSpassion has some very sharp folks that have tweaks that can be applied to iGuidance to make some changes.

You asked why, not for an opinion on whether copy protection is "BS" or not. I bought Mapopolis in part due to their lack of copy protection. Note the existence of keygens for TomTom and not for Garmin and consider whether that's "BS" or not - particularly from the perspective of the software vendor.
Richard
Obviously you're right, that's why TomTom is a bit player, Right? All that rampant piracy. I don't copy software, I like to believe that most people will pay a fair price for a good product, seems to be working for most vendors. I'd love to try Garmin's and iGo's products, but never will till they take a look outside their shells.
Point taken, nuff said.
i called telenav and was able to get a copy of telenav, is there an interest id me linking to it ?
Wdum? Like posting the link? Idk if thats ok on these forums unless it's the trial.
its not the trial, its the full version. but you still have to have an account to use it. they will not give it to cingular users who use the g1, but i acquired a copy. and i am not sure if these forums allow that or not.
h. I'm guessing you pay for the account? I dont really know how the app works in terms of activating lol
It's $10 a month but I don't like pay monthly I don't understand why they just don't put a price to the software and that's it. Why they charge monthly?
http://www.telenav.com/gps-navigator/t-mobile-g1-phone/
Im trying out the demo version, do you wanna post a review and screenshot of it in paid apps or would you like me to?
I haven't installed it, I always forget to cancel autostart subscriptions. Although I guess I could put a reminder in my phone.
Haha ok ill put one up there, so far it works really good, a bit sluggish but i dont have the best signal right now!

TeleNav GPS Navigator problem
hey guys,
i am using telenav gps for 30 days trial. when i tried to type in an address then click ok, the display says "getting gps" 30....31...32...34...blah blah till 100 percents for 8 minutes. then it says "no gps, please move to open area".. i was in my car and been waiting till done before leave. my email is confirmed. i live in san diego.
I don't have any experience with telenav, but does the gps work normaly? Say for goggle maps?
Move to an area that you can pick up a signal, that might help.
Telenav GPS Navigation Update? How will we know?
Ok I got the Telenav GPS Navigation software and I am mostly pleased. However, My question is when and if they update the software how will I know there's a new update for the software since it isn't downloaded through the Android Market? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Well I'm not sure. See I called the customer service not too long ago and I got this guy that didn't seem like he knew much of what he was talking about. And I asked him and he told me you had to call and ask. But I think that's ridiculous. And I agree with you. You should be able to download it on the market. It is free. Its the service u have to pay for not the application. so I hope they eventually put it on there or send us emails or something. Its gonna bug me because come on, it works pretty good but it clearly needs some updates.
I have a response from TomTom's technical support regarding the Touch Diamond 2.
"I have spoken to our 2nd line technical team about any solutions to your query. Unfortunately, they have stated that regardless of what version you are using, HOME will still give the same message as your device is not supported. I apologize for any inconvenience.
With Kind Regards
The TomTom Customer Care Team"
This was in response to my query regarding transferring my services (Traffic etc) over from my old Touch Pro to the Touch Diamond 2.
What this effectively means is that if you run TomTom Navigator on your TD2, you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE ANY TOMTOM SERVICES, as you cannot move these services over to your new phone. TomTom Home will just give you an error.
If you are used to their Traffic service, you will have to just live without it for the time being.
I will ask them what their timescale is for supporting HTC's current flagship phone, but I expect they'll just say they have no plans.
My response to TomTom:
"Windows Mobile is one of the top selling phone operating systems. HTC are the world's biggest manufacturer of Windows Mobile phones. The "Topaz", or Touch Diamond 2, is currently HTC's flagship phone.
Can you please confirm that you will not, and have no intention of, supporting the flagship phone of the biggest manufacturer of one of the top selling phone operating systems in the world?
Can you also confirm that you are no longer interested in collecting my subscription fees for any TomTom services, as they cannot be used on the Topaz?
Finally, can you please recommend an alternative SatNav software vendor who does support the Topaz, as it'll save myself and all the other Topaz users a bit of time moving away from TomTom and onto a better-supported product?
Perhaps CoPilot, Navigon, Igo, or Garmin? They seem like a helpful bunch :O)"
Hey Jim,
With you all the way on this one (as a long time HTC and Tomtom user), and if you dared to use that level of sarcasm with them, it would be nothing less than they deserved! Go you!

Does ANYONE expect results from TomTom support?
Far from it. After being left in the lurch by TomTom's woeful support, I simply vented my spleen in response. Of course I don't expect a response. Ever. To anything. After effectively chucking £20-odd down the toilet for a year's subscription to Traffic which I now can't use, I think a little sarcasm blown across their bows is small recompense.
I'm sure you have far more self-restraint than me though, so you're welcome to see if you can get any kind of response out of them.
TomTom customer service has been nothing but terrible every time I have used it. You have to really fight to get anywhere. Shame as the product is good....

TT sucks... use iGO (800x480) support. Beautiful !
TomTom is a joke .
If you change device you have to relicense etc . Co-pilot you can move over very simply . I suggest a move to a better supplier , like Copilot etc.
At least your investment is safer when you upgrade your device etc. No 3D graphics blah blah blah .

Off course, just put the country in you want and remove all others.

Oh great! thanks for the reply!!
Watch out: There is a file basemap.fbl in the maps-folder. This is required for iGo to work, together with the country-maps you need. But you can safely omit spain.fbl, germany.fbl etc. if you don't travel to these countries.
Have fun!
is it possible to copy iGo to a bigger SD or do you have to use the 2/4 Gig card (and copy you stuff if you just want to use one sd card)
does screen rotate work out of the box?

I want to tinker with chromecast and the white listed process required website where can you host it for free?

It doesn't require a website, it requires a server to stream content from.
Buy a cheap VPS?

From the developer setup / whitelisting page: (developer.google.com/cast/whitelisting)
"Two (2) URLs for the location of your receiver app, typically one for QA and one for production, on your server."
This meens that you simply need a publicly accessable qualified address that google can link your APP-ID/Serial# to.
AKA, a website host or publicly accessable server by URL.
So yes, a free hosted website would work to house your receiver code.

Thank you, do you know any good ones? Because some free one won't let you do java, won't let you up load HTML, but only allow Web interface. I been out of the game for more than 8 years
I don't suppose they let me do a localhost. Also unfortunately my IP address is DHCP so it does rotate from time to time.

He wants to tinker. Minimal investment. VPS is overkill. Even a free hosted public addressable 10MB site would be sufficient for most novice's starting with Chromecast dev.
All you're hosting is the receiver html, and any associated assets in it. It's TINY in most cases.
Not everyone has ~$25 a month to throw away on a VPS.
You're entitled to your opinion, but I still think you're pushing overkill.
GreenDroidX, sorry but I do not actually know of any. Hope someone can give you a good suggestion though.

He mentioned he wasnts to run Java and access to lower levels on a server. For that you would want a VPS and you can get a decent unmanaged vps for like $10 a month. I personally pay $7 a month for a VPS with 512 mbs of ram and 512 burst ram.
Thats just my recomendation. If he wants to get some crappy free host that dies because they are letting people do processor intensive stuff for free then thats fine too.

Ok. So I got involved enough in this topic to do my own research. And what I've found would be a free solution for a VPS via Amazon AWS. "The AWS Free Tier includes 750 hours of Linux and Windows Micro Instances each month for one year"
Not gonna link it, just google Amazon AWS.
You can run a "Free Tier EC2 Instance" that is more then enough to handle server side needs and public addressing requirements to whitelisting.
Thank you to both unholyfire and firesoul, I will try to give Amazon a try. I also found http://www.freehostingeu.com/ seems easier than the Amazon one.

I am using the dropbox public folder, but that only allows you upload static content like the receiver.
I always use Heroku (https://www.heroku.com) for things like this.
