I just purchased the program to turn my phone into a Webcam. I don't have a skype friend yet so I can't test the program. I bought it because it was only 20.00. I was always looking for something like this. Anyone else you this program? I wanted to know what settings you guys had on your program for optimal performance. BTW if any of you have skype message me I would love to test this unless you can recommend a free IM program that includes webcam capabilities.
I use it, mostly with MSN Messenger but it will work just the same with Skype.
My settings are as below.
Cool appreciate it. Does it have that lip sync affect. I don't mind it too much because it's a good program made for a ppc. Thanks alot man.

can i display the RSS feed on the today screen, is there such a plugin???
it would be cool and nice to have,,
any help ?
I'm using the excellent egress since the 1.1.0 version... (actually on the 3.40).

It will give you an optional good configurable plugin on your today screen.
;-)
You could give SPB Insight a try. It has a good catalogue of RSS feeds built in and you can add your own as well.
I don't use the today screen plugin myself but it does have one that scrolls through the articles in each feed!
Cheers
Has anyone had problems with SPB Insight? I have the today screen plug-in installed and I cant find any obvious memory drain but my Kaiser does really seem to slow up when I use Insight.
(Probably got too many apps installed as usual!)

I've never gotten SPB Insight to work for any length of time on my 8525 or my Tilt. Just tried again this week. I wish it would, it's the best looking one of the bunch.
Viigo is a pretty good Rss app, its got a decent selection plus you can add your own feeds also. I got it free from the microsoft windows mobile site, its a free download as their feature offer
https://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/domore/viigo.mspx
you may have to register on the windows mobile site to download it though. ive been registered for a couple of years so im not sure if they require you to sign up or not. ive also got a few other things for free from them so its worth signing up anyway
thanks everyone ,ill try all of them and see which is best for me,,,
Hello,
I'm looking for a software to send free text messages over IP. Chat functionality would be nice but not a must.
I found EQO (www.eqo.com) and I wonder, if anybody has already some experience with it. Functionality, performance, etc.
Thanks a lot!
EQO has a Windows Mobile beta version out now. I've tried it and it worked quite well on my Palm Treo 750, fast and no connection problems on regular GPRS. It's the best free IM client I've found. I recommend trying it for yourself.
Cheers,
Chris
That really sounds like it's worth a try!
Thanks
Okay I did some searching but really can't pick which Instant Messenger to download for Kaiser/Tilt... I had Parlingo for my old HTC S710 which was good... but after reading some post is there anything out there that is top notch?

Palringo is the best balance of power management/features.
Beejive messenger is also very nice, but it sucks the battery down right now. It is still in beta right now.
IM+ is also a decent messenger app.
does anyone know of an instant messegner that works over wi fi?
They should all work as well over Wifi as over GSM connection.
so Palringo for the win???? lol.. so what does everyone use? time to list! hehe

Oz is the only one i know that doesn't actually, all the ones i mentioned will work via wifi
I like octrotalk it works with AIM, Yahoo, Google, MSN etc. Its nice and doesn't eat up much resource or power and its FREE.
http://www.octro.com/
Fring!!! i love it! works with all the IM's (and skype)
http://www.fring.com/
yes another instant messenger topic...anyways, palringo is still the best out. i just wish meebo would hurry up and release a version for windows mobile. its stupid when you think about it that they released a version for the ipod touch and iphone, but wont release it for winmo...which still has a HUGE handset market share. yes, i'm still pissed.
wap.whizzper.com
works thru Java, but pretty nice app. doesnt support landscape very well!
Fring Is Awesome
Try fring from fring.com.
Supports voice +chat for the most of the messengers with multiple id support.
Its light weight works over wifi, 3g and GPRS.
Thanks
Pankaj
Fring is nice, but unfortunately it fails on most WM6.1 ROMS. They're aware of it and say they're "working on a solution"
Palringo???
I have the latest version of Plaringo (with the location "feature"), but it only works over wi-fi. What do I need to do to get it to work over t-zones gprs?

It seems you can have audio/video chat with it.
Can you confirm it?

I've noticed that Palringo won't initiate a connection itself for some reason (at least on my ROM), and won't "pick" it if connected after Palringo was launched. I need to do something like check e-mail first so that the phone connects to GPRS, then I can open Palringo and it's OK. But it still disconnects and reconnects once in a while for no reason, and I hate the "close chat" on the right softkey. I happen to hit it by mistake way too often and closing the window when I still have messages to read. Same goes with OK button/the X button, so it's hard to minimize without closing the window (need to either use the red key to go back to Today screen or switch tasks with a task manager).
Jivetalk hands down for me. The only problem with it is that they haven't updated in months which is kind of annoying especially because the program has so much potential.
beejive is the best i've had so far love it use it erryday =] it looks wonderful fast and it has a good interface very smooth
Best Instant Messenger
i would def have to say jivetalk BY FAR. it shows if someone is on mobile. shows full away messages. lets you setup custom away messages. ichat bubbles and sounds. tells you if the person is idle. lets you customize sounds, vibrates,. etc. ONLY thing is it drains out my battery in 3 hrs!
Jivetalk / bejive ftw... Fring is ugly and slow, palringo doesn't support groups (one group for all msn users and all my icq groups)....
and btw. wow, 3 hours o0 my kaiser runs a whole day with bejive logged in.
Slick is the best for me... www.lonelycatgames.com
hi guys am not sure if this is possible or not, but i was wondering if there is an application or a way to use the front camera of the diamond with some sort of chat program like msn messenger?
thanks

+1 here! sound nice to me. I'm curious as well
Thats a good idea!!! I don't use my front cam anyway (vidcalls are so expensive). A part from MSN Messenger, is there a program to use the front camera anyway, like for recording, or use the phone like a mirror...
Something like this?

No i think they mean that you will use msn from the phone itself.
A mobile msn client that can be used with the front camera.
Ive done my searching and ive found http://www.vzochat.com/ .
A shame it cant be used with msn or skype users so it will be really useful.
Haven't tested it though.
I would like to know why MS does not included Video-Chat on MSN Live Mobile using the existing drivers for video calls, I can not believe that it is a impossible mission
can the diamond be plugged into your pc and used as a webcam?
what software would i use? plug n play doesnt pick it up as a cam!
I would rather like to see front camera with skype...
VZOchat works like a charm.
best regards
Not sure if OctroTalk 2.0 supports that.. I'm still looking for the best IM for the Diamond.

hi, i've tried em all
meebo
hello aim, msn
nimbuzz,
im+
palringo
none of them cut it
they all have disconnect problems
or they don't have picture sharing
or slow my phone down wayyy too much
or take too long to load from the home screen
which one works for you? and is there a better solution out there?
i don't care if i have to pay, i'm willing to spend whatever as long as it works
i know that beejive on the bb and iphone work wonderfully, but beejive isn't available for the G1
i'm really frustrated the phone has been out for a lng time now and software developers don't care to see the market that they are missing out on by not creating a worthwhile chat app for the android platform
someone please help!
any input suggestions anything!!
btw i've even tried the google chat, aim and msn, using jabber hack/plugin
and it was alright until i started having connection problems with that too and wouldn't sign me on aim anymore
not to mention that msn doesn't work
so anyone?...

of coarse its goin to slow your phone down and take long to load...they are freaking multi-chat apps.. its like runnin in the background and signed onto many other IM services.
and they disconnect whenever they are not used or opened in a while most likely
Ebuddy is the best. just terminate background programs that you are not using and you will be good to go, that's what I always do. Also, overclocking to MHz Max MHz lowest is the best config for all chatting platforms, thou it works best on the Ebuddy one..Advance Task Manager should help you with terminating the BG Programs.
Or you can connect through them all via google talk :]
