I was wondering if there was a drum machine app. out for windows mobile that is very similar to the one in the link below? If not is there any in the works or someone willing to make one? If i new how i would, but am not good at program developing.
http://iphoneindia.gyanin.com/2008/03/26/iphone-drum-pad-iband-video-iii/[/URL]
i didnt know we wanted third party apps for the iphone. last time i remebered, my screen said Windows Mobile?
yeah like i said for windows mobile, but an app. similar to that, the same concept.
I absolutly hate the iphone, but that app is pretty cool. So if you want to slam me for liking a application go right ahead. I to would love to have a app like that on my windows mobile.
I'm not sure what exactly you're looking for as far as beat makers go, but take a look at these.
Pocket Jam
Called a "Techno Studio". Drum Machine/Synth/blah blah blah.
Drum Kit Ace
This is more of a 'game.' Has a freestyle mode where you can play a standard full kit.
I had one more program that was a seemingly decent beat maker, but it appears I've uninstalled it by accident. If I remember the name I'll post it.
I haven't see one as cool as the one in Mattyg986's post, but that doesn't mean there isn't one out there. This is only what I've come across.
Is there anything thats alittle more simple?
I just want a casual fun beat maker
oh and free
is that asking too much?
I downloaded Syntrax for my Tilt, but when I run I get a black screen that freezes my device. Anyone got this program to work?

does anyone know of any application that monitors text messages.. what im trying to do is find a program that will foward any message that is sent or recieved on my girlfriends phone.. she has a tilt as do i.. so im wondering if anyone has this particular type of software. i suspect something going on which is neither here nor there but id like to have a 1-2 week log of her texts to confront her with... so im basically trying to get a copy of every text that goes out or comes in. thanks guys

visual studio 6 has great ce tools maybe you could write one for us! but really lol i dont think theres anything out there to do this. if i find something ill tell you.
If you don't trust your gf enough that you need to do this, then you should probably just break up. If you do somehow get a program for this (and it's highly doubtful) and confront her with it I think she'll have just as much to be angry about as you. Pretty big invasion of privacy whether or not she's guilty of what you suspect.
I have to agree with others that if you have to resort to spying rather than trust and talking to each other then you have bigger problems to deal with.
But if you must here are three that I know of. I used to see another program but I can't find it now.

Its NOT software you want its a hardware device called "Chastity-Belt" not quite sure if its Windows Mobile 6 compatible but it may do the trick.
Good Luck
uhhh...wtf ^
look into an experimental program being developed(in its beta stages) called sprite archie, google it, its not hard to find, i used it for similar purposes and it worked great. It will forward call logs, and sms, to an email account!
oh here ya go: http://www.spritesoftware.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=201 , this will be exactly what your looking for, and its pretty stealth, providing you delete the shortcuts in the program folder!
Let me tell you from experience. If you go down this path.. it will never stop. You will NEVER be satisfied. If you log her texts and see that she's not doing anything.. you'll just take it even further and further.
Just break up with her. If she asks why, tell her the truth. You just don't feel you can trust her. This is what I did in my past relationship of nearly 6 years and I am glad it's over.

are you bored of your iPhone yet? are the features getting old? do you miss windows mobile? Do you have anything to look forward to?
should have kept your Kaiser...
Oh good... another useful thread.
Reporting to close. . .
I'd rather have a kaiser of an iphone. Although, I'm pretty sure people are able to make some kind of software for the iPhone now. hacking it or something.
I had the iPhone and I came to the kaiser. Its called jailbreaking, once you do that an app called installer shows up and you install apps from there.

1.1.3 is full of apps now. I actually use the iPhone a little bit more than the Kaiser today. Just because I wanted to see what's all the fuss was about with 1.1.3. But hey iPhone and Kaiser are both great devices, that can not be compared.
You can compare a Kaiser vs. Touch, or iPhone vs. Prada. Both are very different devices. Those who say same old functions, what do you mean same ole functions, both devices are packed with apps.

i had 1.. also my uncle had 1..
we played... we had fun!!!...
but....
then it came sooo repetitive...
the same things always...
then i sold it...
and my uncle too =) ...
haha..
is just funny.. i had both devices..
well i have my kaiser because it has more apps, productivity and some Business Man Style.. iphone was for me more like a psp than a pda =)
*too the first 2 repliers**
i made this thread not to gain any new apps or prosper from, but just for talk. to hear opinions and compare the 2. yea there are other threads like it, but i dont find this thread pointless, perhaps it's just the wording I used.
so it appears most people went with the iphone and then they realized everything was the same. yea there are apps for Mac OS but not enough to make you wanna keep the phone. the emulators for the iphone arent that great either, all screen and not really stable.
ok.. for that is the off-topic so..
maybe a "Social Room" will solve things like this

Right now the Diamond is the best phone on the market and that includes the iPhone. But I think it will be my last Windows Mobile phone, it all depends on whether Apple can fix the shortcomings of iPhone next time around. The main reasons I will jump is because
1) The iPhones slick UI and large screen
2) iPhone is getting better developer support than Windows Mobile - eg where are the windows mobile facebook, myspace and shaznam apps? they dont exist. Imagine the situation in 12 months!
3) Storage - 4GB is too small. 16 an above.. much nicer.
Things Apple need to improve for me to jump ship
- Bluetooth file exchange
-A2DP
-MMS
-Video calling
-Open up the phone - let me use it as a USB storage device, let me dump media on it without itunes
- VGA screen?
- Let me sync tasks over exchange
- Support external storage cards?
Thats really it for me, and they are getting close. I do love Windows Mobile but its the lack of developer support now that irks me. It never used to be this way, but now sadly use Windows Mobile users are being ignored.
First off, Apple loves to keep you in their little world, so you'll never be able to use an iPhone outside of iTunes to transfer files. Second, most of the Apps cost money, the WinMo availability of freeware is above and beyond IMO. Third, why not just wait around for a Touch Pro (up to 32GB) if you want memory card support? I agree with you in some ways, the iPhone has a very appealing UI and big screen, but I can't say I'll be converting any time soon. I'll leave the iPhone 3G to my girlfriend and be happy with a Touch Pro, whenever that may be. Best of luck with whichever device you choose, hope your cellular experience is a good one.
Well in terms of UI - yeah the Diamond works well. The main thing that concerns me is developer support, and im noticing this as my other half has a 3G iphone now. Nothing new is being developed for windows mobile, yet the app store continues to thrive.
Have you used facebook on iphone, its amazing - I can view all my contacts pictures in full screen high quality. Now the Diamond has a higher resolution screen.. so wheres its facebook app.. oh right there isnt one. Same with myspace, same with skybymobile, same with shaznam, same with ebay - there just isnt the support for windows mobile anymore, so this is going way beyond the matter of UI and frills
As for storage - come on! would it have killed HTC to put a micro SD slot in the Diamond? The Touch Pro is ugly and obese, not an option for me
I need communications.
What the f** should I want facebook and all those other crap site need for ???
If you need phone for entertainment get yourself that I phone. But I need it for my business and I'd be ashamed to hold up an I phone in front of customers.
It's that little toy thing, an I phone. The diamond isn't and does the job with sms, calling, exchange, activesyncing, emailing, easy to use, and some photo's videos just as good not better.
I get tired of these topics.
There's a program for eBay but it's $3.99 a month I think, as for MySpace, MySpace Mobile? I don't know, but once SkyFire releases it won't matter... It'll all be as good as we've ever seen it.

Wrong - this thread is very necessary. Its about improving the diamond through developement.
We all agree that the diamond has a fantastic spec right? Well how many apps out there are taking advantage of its technology? The facebook thing was an example. I mean there is not decent facebook app for a VGA screen - no shazam app for windows mobile professional at all. Im not comparing apples with oranges but the Diamond's features are not being fully exploited. Why are developers jumping ship? Windows mobile used to be kick ass for developer support.
We will have more high end WM devices soon, touch pro, omnia, xperia... so whats the excuse?

friendmobilizer and snap2face do not work on vga devices. So we are back to square one. friendmobilizer is the worst - doesnt even support full screen images and looks ugly.

I think there should be a section called DIAMOND FEEDBACK... where everyone can slag off or praise the diamond as much as they like, not cluttering up the main forum. It would be the place to go to literally get feedback on what people think of their Diamonds. This wouldnt be too hard to implement, would it?

No one is slagging off the Diamond. I love mine, its a fantasic device - my concern is that windows mobile is losing developer support rapidly, and as a concequence the diamond has no real support for VGA apps that take advantage of its hardware.
I find it highly ironic that you accuse me of cluttering up the main forum when that same forum is full of redundant threads such as "lets try to copy that novelty beer app for the iphone"
Well, the diamond is out for what is it? 2 months now?
It's the wirst WIDELY used phone with VGA screen so MAYBE we have to wait a little for other apps to come??
Here we go again

The Admins of XDA should create a forum under the Diamond section called iWhine - that way we can put all the rubbish in it and leave the actual Diamond forums...well... DIAMOND-ORIENTED!

Hi all.
People notice my phone and keep saying -
"What's that?"
"Who makes it?"
"What does it do?"
"Is it an iPhone"
So I am asking for suggestions, what is the best way and software to show off what these things are, and what they can do?
Thanks,
B
I show off TouchFlo
I show off Touch Flo, Skyfire, TomTom, remote desktop, vnc, the keyboard, the tilt screen, the copy and paste, ect.
turn the screen brightness all the way up. turn the sound all the way up. and scroll through manilla looking for something to do.
LOL !
I get the same damn iPhone question since I have the VZW Touch. First I say it's HTC, then it's WTF is HTC? Then they see my Vista WAD theme, and want to play with everything. The S2P, Opera, Multiplayer Poker, and some are amazed I can open '07 Excel and Word files. Not to mention, after ThrottleLock pops up, they have no idea what to do !
Some people are amazed at it, and we find it somewhat simple. There was a customer I was talking to once, and she was giving me a small order. I write down the order in notes, calculate the prices, then make a phone call. All the while she had no idea it was a phone to begin with.
But nobody knows my secret......GPS tracking with RT, shhhhh!!!!
Gremote, remote desktop to show off the hi res, gyrator.
If you have RemoteTracker, that is an awesome tool to show off.
Teeter is always a winner. If they're a gamer, COD2 in HW accel mode is pretty awesome.
Let's be honest, it's a geek's plaything and some folk just won't get it.
I got my hands on an iPhone for the first time today. It was very nice, and I played with it for a bit. We got it at my work as a test phone. The app support guy asked me if I wanted to take it home for the weekend to play with, as he knows I'm a smartphone nut.
You know what? I couldn't be bothered. For me, iPhone is not the future. I thought, great, a toy for the weekend. Then I thought about what I might play with and just lost interest. I love the way it's pushed the industry forward, don't get me wrong.
I think they're not so great for geeks like me who like to hack around.
Elite rom is nearly out (tonight? hopefully), and the linux guys are making amazing strides with Android. The exciting thing for me having the touch pro as a hobby gadget, is that the potential has nowhere near been reached.

Well, here where I live, as soon as you meet people, i dunno, for lunch, you place your phones on top of the table. HTC is new here, but people are still fab about the iPhone and now the Blackberries, but I used "Manila" on my Elfin, and the phone is so small, light and Manila just ROCKS! Bar-None, as I said in a post, not only trendy women, but people who depend on their phones would flip through TouchFlo and see the Home screen, contacts, SMS, Email, weather, and Browser so FAST, SIMPLE and BEAUTFUL.....suddenly.....their phone feels.......like a stale piece of bread? LOL!!!!!!

*lol* I keep telling people "this is a HTC device I´m using, its not an iPhone, but in some terms better".
Apps to show-off in my oppinion: Browsing with Opera, TomTom, S2U2, S2P, S2V and of course Manilla2D. Nevertheless, since my brother´s got a Diamond I know that the possibilities to show off with my polaris are quite...limited xD
So my suggestion: Just buy Diamond/HD and pack it with G-Sensor apps, games, show Manilla theming and skinning stuff (which the iPhone is not able to do )

I've put a shortcut to a mp3 i made at zedge.net using the voice tool called hello phone
in my start menu. Then using microsoft voice command the coversation goes like this
Me - Start hello phone
Phone - Hello darren, how are you?
Me - I'm fine, now shut up.
Phone - ok, I'm sorry for disturbing you
Gonna try to make a really long sophisticated one soon
I press a couple numbers and press Send. They're amazed by the voices on the other side of the phone.
Is it just me, or is this new windows 7 ugly as hell? With all the fuss being made about it, how they kept pushing back the release date, I expected MS to change the game. Basically all theyre giving us is a glorified integrated Mortscripts on a basic looking interface. Just because they spin a couple menus around when you press them doesnt make it high tech.
I presume you mean windows phone 7 based on the content.
I'm pretty certain, call me crazy, that windows phone 7 contains more then just a set of ui changes uses the tiles. I'm counting on a lot of features, and stable integration against my other Microsoft products?
I'm sure if you post this thread in the Windows Phone Section you may get a better reply for that.
And to answer your question - It is different, I am undecided if I am one for the tiles or not, but I can see it as something I would get used to and be able to quickly utilise. I mean, why else would people have made an app made to look like it for android, or why else would there be a winmo app out for the home screen. I'm sure some people like it, alot! I personally am looking forward to see what Microsoft have done for Windows Phone 7.
And if you mean windows 7, pc, I think that it kicks ass.....
Dont get me wrong,I'll always be a windows man,but Ive been coming here since 2004,yet nothing had our geeky mouths watering like the prospect of a completely revamped OS.Even if WM7 makes its official entrance,I think I'll stick around for an HTC mod like TouchFlo or something.
Also,I posted it on this forum so I wouldnt come across as one of those kiljoys that ruin perfectly good threads.
LOL, yeah, i do not what you mean, After I posted I did wonder if there would be a fair bit of flaming/arguing! I only suggested it for more a detailed response to the theming and stuff microsoft are throwing on, but then again, I do not doubt that you have already been watching that section.
I'm not sure how much HTC are allowed to skin the tiles/remove the tiles. At one point it was only meant to be a certain number of tiles allowed to be changed by the operator (I think, I concede I may be wrong though).
But then from reading pocket lint, it looks as though HTC have come up with this which to me looks pretty sweet to be honest. Nice simple and basic.
I am seriously thinking of getting one of the new HTC devices when it comes to contract renewal and seeing how I go with it for the first few days and see what my carrier will be willing to do for me.
I like WP7, but not the home screen. That title thing is ugly and whats with the wasted space on the top and right side? Just doesn't make sense.

Now thats what Im talking about.HTC has rescued windows a lot of times from being obliterated by prettyfied devices like iPhone(HTC Cube,HTC Home,Manila,etc). Apple has proven many times that people care more about looks than functionality.
It does look a bit boring but 1+ would be that it is able to daulboot opensource os's Anyone know if bada is open source

its no wonder android is taking up so much real estate in the OS market. what's up with this TouchXperience? Looks like it's setting up to monetise. Would have been nice to have... It looks like we'll be paying for everything soon, even themes. How nostalgic.

Hey apple realeased a phone with an ugly boring disorganised interface and people lapped it up. Cant blame microsoft for wanting to dip their bucket into this well of stupidity.
