Hi,
I know there is a Facebook app created by Microsoft for Windows Mobile which is running fine on HTC Kaiser.
But, is there any better alternative?
I have tried MS Facebook app, but I dont like the fact that I cannot FILTER my friends news feed. You know, like the web version, I can filter out all those "Quiz"
Thanks.
The mobile version of Facebook.com is not horrible, but has its own set of limitations. Your frustration is one I share as well. Maybe Facebook Lite, which is being developed for third-world, low-bandwidth countries will be a better match for mobile devices.

Hi People.. This is a BETA version, found today through Mess.be. I installed it on my BA running WM2005 and it works fine as far as I have been able to test it .. Hope you enjoy it
OK.. a bit more info.. I have tested the nudges and the voice clips, all work well. It is a bit annoying that the MSN contact list integrates into outlook, but hey... once its sorted and cleaned up, its ok!
It took about an hour to synch the first time.. just so you know.
OK>> THE UPDATE>> SOMEONE IS POSTING VIRUSES. ONLY DOWNLOAD FROM HERE!!

This site is SAFE! It's mine!
The Install_WLM.exe file is a script virus that deletes NTLDR.
DONT INSTALL IT!
I was just about to post this myself...

The mobile Windows Live Messenger client we brought to you at the end of last month did have the Windows Live look, but it had a very meager feature list. The Windows Mobile 5.0 version, on the other hand, will boast many useful features like Voice Clips (just press your Call button while in a conversation and you can send 15-second voice messages), group conversations, file transfers (send your camphone pics), nudges, etc. Unfortunately, it's still in private Beta as part of the G2 suite of Live services which also includes Live Mail, Contacts, RSS and Local Search.
A couple of days ago, the Beta was refreshed to version 10.6.0023.0200 for both Smartphones and Pocket PCs. Over a hundred bugs have been fixed since the last update, and some features were added. For instance, users of previous Beta-versions will be glad to hear that contact synchronisation isn't obligatory anymore (just untick the boxes when asked). You also have the option to add your Messenger dashboard (showing your nickname, e-mail address, Display Picture (!) and current status) to the Today screen. Other changes include support for Personal Status Messages and several extra menu options here and there.
We've tested the next-gen Messenger client and it's truely a killer app that will boost mobile IM significantly once officially released. Obviously, lucky owners of a Windows Mobile 5.0 device are eager to get their hands on the Windows Live G2 Suite, so I did a bit of searching and found that it had been leaked less than two days after its recent Beta release. Mess.be nor Microsoft supports this leak, so install at your own risk. The private Beta is currently available in English only.

Here it is all you smartphone users can be happy.
Thanx buddy
Thanx buddy I was eagerly waiting for this BTW r u the official beta tester neways.
Cheers Matt!
Thanks Buddy am installing now!
Already been posted in news few days ago, the exe in news contains both versions, and the version is not 5 but 10.6.0023.0200
look here for it
I've given it ago, and ignoring it's beta status I find it werid that although it has the new "roaming picture" support that has just come out on the PC beta version as well, it doesn't seem to support offline message which has been out on the PC version for a while. Maybe it's something they are working on?
Otherwise it's looking like an excellent release!
I'm unable to connect to Windows Mobile....It's my problem?
Nope, can't connect either.
Same here.
i had it going for a week. did a hard reset and re-installed, but now can't connect. also another funny thing. after i installed and went on the mobile dslreports site and checked my ip it says than i'm connected through msn.net, which is very odd as i use either wifi or usb connected to my pc (my provider is freedom2surf), or i use gprs which is orange.
looks like a case of big brother is watching!!!
Hmmm....
Yep doesn't work.
That's a scary thought about big brother watching... something was strange about it, there's proof. Looks like we're gonna have to wait for the next leak, oh well...
I think MSOFT have closed the service to non legit beta testers. I get a msg saying that my phone connection is poor, check my reception. you getting the same?
Me too cant able to connect , seems M$ has blocked this beta version .
I got the same message about the reception.
I registered at http://connect.microsoft.com to download the new beta legally.
Live messenger for PPC
hmm.. Sorry guys.. At the time of posting It was working fine.. I logged in on all three of my acounts.. Seems M$ has limited the beta release to just a few of us who are official testers!
As soon as I get a new version or any more news I will let you know.. Until then....
The frustrating thing is that it seems to be working fine. I don't understand why they'll let anyone download Office 2007 (worth serveral hundred pounds) but won't let us have Live messenger (which I'm guessing is gonna be free).
I am not sure if this is old news, but I did a search and did not find the topic... If it is please disregard
From Gizmodo:
MSN Direct's weather, news, stocks, and entertainment info have been available on MSN Spot devices for a while now, but have been surprisingly missing from Microsoft's own cellphone devices. Not anymore. You can get now up-to-date info right on your Windows Mobile home screen direct from whatever data connection you have (Wi-Fi, 3G, EDGE). Best of all, it's free, which means that MSN Direct might be moving more towards a software service on already-connected devices, which in turn means that it might even expand to non Windows Mobile phones in the future?
Link to MSN Direct:
http://phone.msndirect.com/phone/index.html
Doesn't work on the Kaiser, since MSN Direct is for SMARTPHONES ONLY.
Hopefully someone will tweak it to work for Pocket PC's, though.
From the screenshots, it appears that this works on Windows Mobile 6 devices, but the list of supported phones only includes smartphones.
I confirmed this when I tried to install it on my tilt and it was unsuccessful.
Anyone else had different luck?
By the way, that weather plugin looks HOT!
It looks like its only for smartphones, which could count all of us Kaiser/Tilt users out.
The installer says "This installer is not intended for this device".
Is it because the binaries are for a different processor architecture? If it's made for ARM devices, it should work regardless.
There's probably logic in the cab that says
IF !=whatever-os-designed-for then error. Anyone know how to change the CAB to include our OS on the allowed devices list? Maybe extract the contents and make a new cab?
This is now available for Pocket PC devices as well.. Just downloaded today and it works
Same here... Just instaled it and it works.
Finally I can get my local weather! My city was on the list unlike with HTC weather.

lol, there are other cabs available for free weather that you can customize your town or city.
I've flashed my Tilt with the Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid ROM, and I was wondering if there is a Yahoo Messenger cab for the ROM?
check yahoo messengers website .. they have it there. install and let us know how it works out
You can also shoose from Slick, Palringo, and Jivetalk (there are more). I personally have switched to Jivetalk and it's working great.

The one that they have doesn't include (do) messenging. (ie IM) it does allow to read the e-mail. There is also a beta 3.0 that's out but it isn't developed yet for WM devices, hence the interface isn't touch screen. I have installed successfully on my tilt but since then have removed it. I too, like jive talk simply because of the bubble chat experience.
Have tried Agile messenger but $ 49.00 for IM when there are many free ones is rediculous.
If any one wants I can post a copy of the yahoo cab both 2.0 and 3.0 beta.
Im using slick and it works very well , has an unsharpen effect like windows vista and works fine with keyboard and touchscreen , an its free
I use the SMS version of Yahoo, just like AIM. Works fine.
Wow. Thanks for the JiveTalk Program. I've been using Palringo. Looks boring ass hell, groups were cool at first but then I never use it. Jivetalk is more colorful and looks great. Thanks for that recommendation.
why whould you use yahoo messenger

Why would you use AIM? Probably the same reason he uses Yahoo... personal preference!!!
is shape im+ working on wm6.1? i tried the beta rom before and it was hanging when I tried to run it. i use it for yahoo messenger/gtalk [twitter updates mostly ]
Getting my phone soon, and cant wait to start "geeking" whit it. but instead of starting blindly on the android market and other places to find good apps and games i decided to ask here.
What app and games do you use and recommend`?
I've had my Magic for a little while and use the following apps:
beebPlayer - Similar to BBC iPlayer
Glance - File Manager
gTraffic - UK Traffic Reports
Flixster - Movie Listings & Cinema Times
Quickpedia - Mobile version of Wikipedia
Qype - Find shops etc that are nearby
SMS Popup - Pops up your SMS when received
Twidroid - Twitter Client
Youtube - Youtube player
There's lots out there, you'll spend ages on the Market!
appmanager
weatherbug
anycut
beebplayer - as mentioned above
ebay
ebuddy - multi IM app, stopped using as it disconnects too often
IM+ lite - multi IM app, also disconencts but seems better than ebuddy
flashlight - all in the name
ebay
newsrob - rss reader that syncs with outlook reader
opera mini - find it better than the installed browser, shame it can't be made default
shazam - to recognise music tracks
shopsavvy - scans prouct barcodes to find you better deals
skype
youtube
touchdown - push email/calendar/contacts app
places directory - uses gps to tell you what places are around you and gives reviews & directions (e.g. restaurants, cinemas, banks etc)
You specifically asked about games so my recommendation is "Bonsai Blast", spent ages on that!
labyrinth FULL 2.99
Bonsai blast FREE
Prince of persia 99p
Shazam FREE
Bacgrounds FREE
Imeem mobile FREE
Toggle buttons (for wifi bluetooth etc) FREE
Taskiller (task manager) FREE
These are the apps i use
Anyone know any emulators (snes gba etc) that work with magic or g2 with no hardware keyboard
Anyone now of a good/bether picture frame app?
I'm guessing we'll need to wait till the hero gets an emulator for snes and such. There's multi touch in that system, so it'll no doubt be exploited. Then it should be possible to use it on the Hero Rom.
Caid.

I was also curious as I am considering the Tmo My Touch...I have a bunch of M$ apps from my wizard, and in the spec reports on the My Touch it says it syncs with M$...so does this mean I will be able to use my M$ games like Insaniquarium on the My Touch???
To be honest, knowing a yes or no to this question will be a make it or break it thing, so the most details you can provide would be of great help to me in deciding whether to get the My Touch or just buy a used Kaiser.
Thanks in advance!

Seriously?
No. It is android, not windows mobile. So you won`t be able to use windows apps on it.
It syncs with Microsoft Exchange, so you can use e-mail and calendar from your business.
