Lotus Notes

I feel before I start that this is a daft question but here goes.
Where I work they have a requirement to take a notes database with them on the road and are wondering if they can run Lotus Notes on a XDA Pro / Qtek 9000. I for one dont think it will work specially as the database they want to access is 1Gb or there abouts.
But thought I'd ask you guys anyway as you all seem so clever ;o)

Hi,
Sybase makes a tool for PPC which is Lotus Notes portable. It has a mail file, and the ability to send, receive and file mail. It is not free, and I am still looking for a free option.
Microsofts Outlook 2003 Lotus Notes adaptor is useless because it doesn't work for me.
Try the sybase Lotus notes program.
Cheers.

The answer: mnotes and mform
Hi,
Check out mNotes and mForm from Commontimes. I use mnotes for a long time, and it is the most stable replicator for Notes mail db-s. You can replicate other databases as well, check out their website. Their customer support is excellent, and they support the latest Notes versions.
I hope you find this useful !

Videochat software?

Ok, windows Live messenger mobile doesn't support it, neither skype... so the frontal cam of the trinity is useless?
Is it possible that the only way to make a video connection is a videocall? Doesn't really exist any software able to establish a videochat messenger like?

You can't say "it is useless except for video call" since this is exactly what it was designed for: 3G video call.
I understand that you prefer to use it for free, or cheaper through wifi connexion etc. and I wish I could do the same too.
Nevertheless, as far as I know, there is so far, only one sof which can allow you to make 'Instant messaging with video' on PPC, it is called Microsoft portrait. Something between Live Messenger and net-meeting...
There are two things which are not going to make you happy though.
1)
Video go through the rear camera, not the front one.
2)
Sounds as for other messengers, go through back speaker, not the ear-piece.
I had it installed a year ago on my wizard, but since I knew nobody using the same soft, I've never been able to test it out so far.
I'm ready to reinstall it on if you or anyone on this forum is willing to make some tests with me.
There is a version for PC, of course, so it is possible to test it on your PC too.
I heard it can work along with MSN, but both sides must have both softwares installed Live Messenger AND Microsoft Portrait.
You may ask: so what is the big deal about this software? the big deal is that this soft is optimised to use a very small amount of band-width, either 9600 kb (regular gsm connexion) wich gives a quite grey image, or broad band, wich gives you then full colors effect.

Actually, technically, it is already possible in a messenger application, from Tencent in China: QQ2007. And it uses the front camera.
The problem is that Tencent want to make a living out of this service, therefore, you have to be connected through the 3G service of a Chinese Telecom Operator, otherwise, it doesn't allow you to sign in...
Unlike previous version of QQ, when you are connected through wifi it doesn't work on the windows mobile version. There is a walk-around for nokia version, but nothing for windows mobile...
It's really a pity cause the technology is there, it's just a matter of that they don't want to provide it for free.

There are a freeware software for videochat: packetbone (an old release)
Another option is iFon from http://www.tabletmedia.com/ifon.html , seems the best solution for now
Best Regards Happy New Year!

New User, help please!!

Hello everyone
I'm a new HTC Touch HD user ( I bought it yesterday), I have been a palm user for almost 8 years!, and finally I took the step and change to windows mobile!!, principally because I need to work a lot with word, excel and emails on the go, and not always I can bring my laptop with me.
I have been reading diferent stuff about WM for around 10 hours, and it's quite diferent than the experience with palm OS, I think with Palm OS was much more easy to choose a software for each job!!
well I would like some help please:
1.- I need a good email software, which support many accounts and foulders to organice my emails just like outlook, I'm thinking in "seven" http://community.seven.com/viewforum.php?f=17
or just outlook mobile, but I would like to heard some oppinions before buy this last one.
2.- a good PDF reader, I need to read a lot of datasheets, and I need a software which can word wrap and be finger friendly. adobe reader LE coudn't do it, eather ubook, or maybe I'm doing something wrong? any idea about it?
3.- for GPS I'm thinking in buying IGO 8.3, it's a good choise?
4.- a good agenda software, and I think I will buy Pocket Informant, any coment?
well this is the most important thing for the moment, apart of this and only like a comment, I'm looking for a good clock with alarms, a good english and chinese dictionary, music player, movie player, picture view software, etc.
any help or comment will be apreciated

iGO8 its ,imho ,the best option. I have tryed TomTom but iGO beats it for far..

For music and video u can choose coreplayer ! Enjoy!

Hi stranger!!!
Hi! i-m trying to bring my experience to this panel... i-m not an expert but have know both worlds, Palm and PPC devices... i-m own today a Samsung I900 Omnia runing under WM 6.1...
in my experience here you are some tips about your questions....
1) Outlook Mobile provided is good enough... it can manage messaging (SMS) and mailing (i have 4 emmails including hotmail, gmail, yahoo and a propietary one) without any problem... is something spartan if you understand but give you a peace of mind to search and found something more sophidsticated... may be u can try Fleximail...
2) My Omnia had a PDF reader File Wiewer that's good enough... i-m not shure is a standard in WM 6... try Pocket Adobe or Mobile Foxit intead....
3) GPS depends where are you use it!!! because of maps IGO is a good one if you use it in Usa or EUROPE... i-m in Argentina, South America, here Garmin XT rules because detailed maps that it works...
4) I have Pocket Informant and it's superb!!! another good one is Iambic Agendus Pro... i-m not shure rank of prices... both are excellent....
+ clock with alarms: SPB TIME or Ptravel Alarm
+english and chinese dictionary: True Term
+music player: sorry i like WMedia...
+movie player: again WM
picture view software: Pocket XNView or Resco
all topics are just an opinion, hopefully that give you some easy guideline and my english isn't zulu 4 u (MY TONGUE IS SPANISH) c u HERE OR @ WEB...
hugs from Argentina
Jorge

thanks tossero
I think I will check the maps of IGO and if they have good ones for Asia I will buy it
thanks jorgec333
mm, thanks for your advices, I didn't know Fleximail, I will check, about the agenda, yes I used to use agendus, its really good, but I didn't know was good for WM too.
BTW touch HDD came with adobe reader LE, which is really bad in my opinion, I will check the ones you recommended me!!

Treo 700WX - Not a REAL downgrade.[HELP please]

Hey, everybody! Cheers from Brazil.
Firstly, I SWEAR I've searched a LOT before posting these upcoming questions. Maybe my searching skills suck. Second, THANKS everybody for the amazing support you've been providing, specially NightRaven. This is my first post. I hope it doesn't hurt...
(background first): I have a Treo 700wx. This week I tried WinMo 6.1 (Sprint and Verizon's). Both worked smooth!! To the questions:
1- I simply don't wanna use IMAP email. It takes longer to download (compared to WinMo 5.0). People say I need to disable the "try to auto setup your account" field. THERE IS NO such field in my Treo. And after it creates the IMAP, I tried putting manually the POP/SMTP settings and apparently that doesn't work, since the field:IMAP is still set and gray (I can't change it). How can I setup manually a POP3 account?
View at EasyCaptures.com
1b- Is this related to WM 6.1? If I downgrade to 6.0 will be this issue addressed? What will I loose if I downgrade (I mean, 6.1 is REALLY better than 6.0)?
2- I know that's weird: but I prefer the old Pocket Internet Explorer, from WM 5.0. I need to get texts fast, I like navigating in "one single column" display, due to speed and ease of use (I'm a teacher, I need fast access to text-based web sites; besides, I'm always on a bus or in the subway, my hands are barely free, navigating on the OLD browser is easier). When I want quality navigation, aspect ratio preserved and access to the beautiful desktop-like screen, I go to Skyfire or Opera, or even the Internet Explorer that came with WinMo 6.1.
Thanks in advance, forgive my poor English and also forgive me for this loooong post.
Cheers!

Yahoo messenger exported to WinMo 6.5?

Hi Guys,
I'm just a noob as you can probably see from my number of posts on this forum.
Just bought my HD2 (Virgin Mobile) a couple of months ago, and am following the forum and website every single day for new things to learn/install etc.
As i am a big Yahoo Messenger user, i have tried different 3rd party software e.g. Palringo, Nimbuzz etc for yahoo chatting but is not really compared to the real thing and by that i mean (..and please don't shoot me) the iphone version.
I bought the HD2 for the simple reason that i hate Apple, don't like them one bit but some apps like Yahoo messenger are cool .
I like the things like shake to buzz someone or the interface of the app or sending files feature etc.
So now i am urging/challenging all the great devs in this community, can someone port the Iphone version of Yahoo Messenger app to WM or design one from scratch but with all the features that it has?
Thanks in advance

Well, i'm pretty sure that application will coming soon with the same user interface as like on iphone.

i hope i can help you
try out the oz messenger, search the forum as oz messenger, hope so that some of the messenger version matches HD2. as far as I remember theres a lot of variation , combination and versions. try until you find the most suitable one for HD2 ..
best of luck

Thanks. Apparently this uses your SMS and not your internet connection. I have around 3000 inclusive text and unlimited, well around 1GB, internet plan so i would've liked to use my internet connection.
I think i just need to wait until a wm version same as the iphone will pop up, but i would still never buy an Iphone

the oz messenger uses date not text service. I use it everyday. It has yahoo, AOL, and hotmail (I think). this program supports auto start on windows start up, Background sounds and Alerts. It supportsBuzz, smilies, and auto sawing of Conversations. I used it with the touch (QVGA), Touch Pro (VGA), & Touch Pro2 (WVGA). seems to work on all resolutions. It should work on Data Connection & Wifi.
let me know how you like it...
Good Luck
