Paying for freeware?

Should I be upset that mUn's WM6 aRTM was up for 5$ on ebay, and he wasn't the one selling it?

(no, I didn't realize it was freeware then...I've only come to learn this wonderful world of customization in the past 24 hours- after that hosebag nailed me)

Sorry you got pinched.
Well now more of us can keep an eye out.

ya know what- I'm not sorry a bit: I would probably wouldn't have come to this forum had I not been burned. And, I'm in the process of really going elbow-deep in my 8125 and LOVING it! So, I just feel it's crap that someone else is taking the $$$ for someone else's creation.

I just went to Ebay and typed in "Windows Mobile 6" into their Search Engine. Just look at what came up!!! And, they originated from THIS forum, I'm sure. . .
http://search.ebay.com/Windows-Mobile-6_W0QQfromZR40
I've got a good mind to report ALL of them to Ebay . . . and surprised that Microsoft hasn't . . . yet.

ought to just report to eBay.

Conversely buyable is this
For those of us that love our PDAs and PDA phones I created the themes that I am selling on eBay to anyone who loves the gear and beautiful women - and NO they are not nudes and porn. But, for anyone that likes what they see and wants some I will give 6 for the price of 3.

I have used WM6 ROMs and I'm grateful for the cooks providing them, but let's call a spade a spade here - it's NOT "freeware". Microsoft make WM available to ODMs for a licence fee.

I must admit I did not know ODMs were not being charged for WM5->WM6 upgrade paths, however a free upgrade is not freeware.

I did. Two of the listings were pulled within 1/2 hour and I've notice that a third one has now been pulled. The only items left are the Wizard phones with WM6 pre-installed. Those probably won't last much longer.

Selling themes you created is fine since you're the author but selliing something somebody else has put together and released for free is wrong to say the least....

Provided that you own the rights to the pictures of course

Well i have reported both of them, due to the fact that if someone on here has put alot of work into it, NO-ONE should be selling it on, that will just bring more problems from microsoft to this site! As we are one of the biggest sites, if not the best for the wizard.
If it is given for free, no-one can be seen to be getting money from copy right of microsoft!

"Clear storage" to re-use expensive trial software

I have some 60 day trial medical software that costs a pretty penny. By using the "clear storage" function, the WM6 registry etc should be returned to factory fresh state, right?
I'll use a virtual machine to install the software to my Wing. That should work right?
NS

yes, in theory, it should work.
However, it's like killing babies. Don't do it.
Support the developers, they really need it.
And i'm being nice.

The software in question is at www.epocrates.com
If you want to make yourself feel a little better about helping me to not support this developer (which I DO appreciate, even though I was 99% sure it would work anyway)
1. this program costs $199 per year
2. Over half a million health care professionals use their products (they aren't a struggling, almost-certain-to-fail startup)
3. as a 3rd year medical student, I'm just under $200,000 in debt and before I graduate you can tack another $60k or more onto that
4. I may someday be caring for the medical needs of you or someone in your Monkeysphere
Thanks again, xda rulez!

wow thats quite an expensive subscription...but I guess its worth it for an important up to date database such as this.

We will remind you of this when you have had a few years of practice under your belt and we don't pay YOUR bill. I mean after all, after a few years and many hundreds of patients, you won't be a struggling start up operation either.

Torrent Droid: Scan Barcodes, Get Torrents
Written by enigmax on March 11, 2009
You are standing in a store looking for a new DVD to buy. Rather than buying it, you photograph the barcode with your phone and press a couple of buttons. By the time you make it home, the movie is waiting for you in your torrent client. You can with Torrent Droid.

Not sure what to think about this, but it's an interesting concept, definitely.

that is sweet. I cant wait for it.

wow...the ShopSavvy concept adapted to aiding in breaking copyright laws
wouldn't develop/sell/distribute something like this, to be honest. See piratebay for how you can be held responsible for aiding someone in downloading stuff they shouldn't download...

Looks interesting to say the least. I like one of the comments saying its like a new way to shop lift. On a side note has anyone tried that Droid2Droid app on the market saying it works with limewire and other P2P sites? $10 is way to much money for an app like that.

Swedish laws differ from US laws. It's legal in the US to make programs like this.

It's definitely not illegal to create programs like this in Sweden either. It might be illegal to run a tracker in Sweden though, at least one you make money off of.

It looks like a very interesting way to take 10 times longer to do a simple torrent search. Way to innovate! LOL

iphone v diamond

I just posted on another forum (not a phone forum) about my diamond. I actually did it in a thread about the new iphone, not to hijack so much as to tease. Anyway, someone decided to reply "complete ****" about my new diamond, compared to the iphone. Obivously the guy is a moron, but out of interest, is the iphone superior and if so, by how much? Is it regarded as a pocket pc in the same way the diamond is, or a smartphone? Does the iphone have a stylus, and can you put as many apps on it as windows mobile phone?
Is it as versatile as the diamond?

WTF? You have 64 posts here and you make that kind of question????

You don't seem to read english well. Especially because of the reaction to the reply that seemed too informative for your faulty brain. Or you just happen to be a gay-twink who thinks licking a cult thingie is neater than having a powertool. Sell your diamond, you will never understand how to use it. And quit being a fetishist perv

Michael Jackson's Unused Concert Tickets in Manila December '96

I have 2 UNUSED (mint condition) Micahael Jackson Tickets in Manila when he was there last December 1996. I was wondering how much should I auction them in ebay?
Any suggestions?

DON'T! Just be patient before listing. Valuables don't become super-important the day of a person's memorial. Just chill out and wait around. Unless you're a poor person. Otherwise, don't regret holding off for a while. And don't be the first to list them... instead do some online research. I'm SURE there's a guide or an advisor to this type of thing somewhere at your disposal. Good luck, you horrible, ruthless profit-minded-techie....

What happens to all MJ's roll over minutes on his AT$T Raphael, do you think if I called, AT$T would give them to me ?

Never hurts to try. Godspeed.

I might just do this. I bought the tickets for me and my ex-girl friend now my friend. She was returning them to me back in 2000, but I told her to keep it safe and someday it will be worth something. I asked her about it yesterday and she said...Yeah I still have it...so we might try and see how much we can get from it or it's value now. We weren't able to use it back then because her Mom won't let us go to the concert that day. Don't know why.
