Check out this channel 9 video ( http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=95972 ) with a demo of WM5 on a BlueAngel. So it is VERY posible for it to work! the BA demo is about 35min in to the video. i like the way the 2 outer hard keys on the BA are used as menu buttons like on the smartphone.
which file is it?
what do you mean which file? if you go to the channel 9 link here (http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=95972) you will see a save or play button. depening on your connection, click save (download) or play (streaming)
Nice find m8!
I wish we could get hold of WM 5.0 for Blue Angel, it's just soo annoying that we were so close as getting hold of it at tech ed 2005.
Tht guy does get a little too excited tho
it starts at the 35 minute mark where he shows the bA
Windows Mobile 5
As an early adopter of the Blue Angel device i feel that i have been told by HTC and Microsoft to say "how high" when they say "jump". I purchassed this phone in January of this year and i am being told now to go buy another phone in a few months if i want Windows Mobile 5. I have so far had 3 pocket pc phones and would never switch to a blackberry device but at this point i do not believe that i will continue buying devices like i have in the past. Now this clip from Microsoft shows that it is possible to load Windows Mobile 5 onto the HTC Blue Angel device. I do not see why HTC will just not leak this update. They will most likely loose many customers including me and many of the people i have recomended to purchase pocket pc phones. I have no question that HTC scans these sights so i am asking them why they can not just release the file.
Thank You,
Considering that Buzz managed to get it working on the Xda II (Himalaya) I can't see that there should be a problem with HTC/MS sorting it out for the BA.
Interestingly, it looks like HP are going to provide a WM5 update for certain IPaqs, perhaps HTC and the service providers should take note.
My friend recently bought an iPaq with WM2003se and it came with a voucher that entitles him t upgrade free to WM2005.
C'mon HTC, pull yer finger out!! We deserve this more than anyone! Perhaps if we petition and email it to HTC, explaining exactly how turd our current software is and how dsperately we need this.
Yes, it's quite turd. :roll:
We need to send a Chinese Food Delivery person to that nerd holding the BA with the NEW mobile 5 rom so he can stick his sd card and run out.
That would kick tush!!!!
Does anybody know him??
I would love a copy of WM5 for the BA. its a pity. hopefully HTC do release an upgrade, eventually.
the guy in the video said that its an internal version only and said it wont be released to the public, its funny though, they say that wm5.0 is better for the faster fones, but as he showed this BA with it working on it, it worked fast too...the only way we are going to have it, is if some idiot that decided we are not having it, has 3 ghosts come to him in the middle of the night , or if someone like james bond can brake into the MS fortress, or if the same guy that leaked the himalaya version of this rom has a heart and leakes this for us.
Peace.
joey.
Good Afternoon,
My contract was up for renewal couple of days ago and I had my sights on getting and HD2 but my provider discontinued it and wont let me have it any more. They only WinMo phone they had was the HD Mini which I don't like so I have been forced over to Google Android.
Now while I have seen Google Andoid and do like the UI and what I have seen of it I am a VB.NET Programmer and make custom apps for my mobile that I rely on So I am a bit stuck when I get my new phone.
Has anyone has any sucess with gettin WinMo 6.1 onto the Desire, I know spec wise it can easily handle it (alot better then my current HD1) as ultimately thats what I think I want to do...
Regards,
Max
I doubt you will ever see windows on the desire.
It's like buying a state of the art tv and changing the settings to black and white and watching a movie from a video cassette player through a scart lead with a pair of headphones on.
lol not quite the same is it!
I was just wondering because in the last couple of years I have seen Google Android installed on many WinMo phones sucessfully so thought it must be possible the other way round.
Its not because I am a huge MS fan (ok I probably am) but mainly for being able to put my apps on the device. I run my own company and have my own customised tools like job timing and invoice generation all from my mobile (communicating with my backend sql server) and returning an invoice (which I then print out with my in car printer )
Try looking at this thread.
It gets asked almost weekly, and is getting exceedingly irritating for many because if you'd searched for "Windows Mobile", you'd have found it, and others like it, yourself!
My suggestion to you is that if you want a WinMo phone, sell or trade your Desire for an HD2.
Regards,
Dave
Sorry for asking such a frequent question. I normally do make use of search...
I suppose its going to be impossible to get a .net program working on android as well because if that was possible i would be happy lol

I believe there has been some work done on getting Mono (the *nix port of .Net) running on Android - Google seems to kind of agree (I searched)
John
You'd need to get someone to completely rewrite the boot system, and even then you wouldn't get all the hardware working, nevermind the fact that there's a completely different cache/memory structure.
Well, Novell will supposedly support Mono on Android at some point this year, which may at least get you partially there (see here)
Regards,
Dave
Can buy my old HD2 if you want, Max? 4 months old, completely stock and unlocked/unbranded. Got it as an upgrade but now got a Desire so it's sat in the box doing sweet FA...
MonoDroid is entering public beta it seems.

Was looking about £300 ono - phone is like new and I'd buy a new oem pouch for it too as the original one is a bit stretched
None of the accessories have been opened as I've had HTC phones before so not needed to use them. Only thing that wouldn't be with it is the CoPilot trial as I formatted the SD card so the mapping isn't there...whether you can download the maps from somewhere I don't know
Yeh I was looking at Mono before I read all of these posts. I don't quite fully understand how it works etc I am purley a Windows Engineer so never really touched Linux and the likes.
So with Mono can you still develop .net apps in Visual Studio and then run them using this 'Mono' and if it is that simple are there limitations. I need to do some more reading up on this and learn some more. Still got about 8 Days until T-Mobile deliver my Desire then got 7 days to send it back if I don't like it (which I am sure I will as I do like Android it was just the fact that my custom built software that was the issue)
I would take you up on that offer if I had the money
£300 is quite far out of my price range so sadly I won't be able to buy it off you. If I can have patients I can buy and HD2 fully working at some point during the next 14 months but prob nearer the end of that time and I can't wait that long lol.
Sending you PM. Im interested.

Not to worry!! Just thought I'd offer it to you
Yeh thanks for the offer if I had the money I would deff take it up or even shop around for one but got to rely on my contract and T-mobile for my phones :-(
At least they let me negotiate contracts with them. They normally give in to what I want. Probably the fact I have been a loyal customer with them for 7 years and brought quite a few customers to them

I don't know any professional programmers that would only know one language and not be able to migrate within a few days/weeks. Let WinMo 6 die, finally.
I am not a 'Professional' programmer still 'upcoming' programmer. VB.NET and ASP.NET are the two languages (although asp use vb.net) I know and still learning. I only recently (~3 years) started to fiddle with programming and all self taught my main job is Network Admin at the company I am employeed at which I am just developing them a mobile app but also registered as a sole trader and I have a couple of really useful apps that I programmed to help me run my business (like when I am out on jobs)
At the moment I have nowhere near enough time to learn another language.
My brother has shown interest in wp7, but one thing that would keep him from getting one anytime soon would be this website. This is where he streams most of his electronic music from and his iPhone can stream it fine, but none of the browsers for wp7 can as far as I've been able to figure out.
Anybody use this site? There any way to get this working on wp7? Android & iPhone have di.fm apps, but they aren't going to be doing wp7 for a bit yet it looks like (BB one currently in public beta).
ask the makers of the app if they have any plans for windows phone.
Their site states they will be looking into it after the BB app is completed. I was wondering if there is any way to stream that site on wp7 as of now.
If not, he'll just have to wait and get a phone later, which I suggested anyway.
From their site:
Nokia, WebOS, Win7, etc.
"Will re-evaluate after Blackberry is completed."
Could take a year or more from that quote.
"Tunein Radio" my friend on the marketplace and search exactly [DI] and all the playlists come up, Get yo brother on it when he gets one or show him.
But yeah, No official app yet so i still have to use laptop for the 256k feeds atm , but hell... works perfectly out and about and sounds great off the phone
*but saying that just did a test again to see how much different they really sound, and the phone does seem to give it an ample boost in the right areas. meh, still works, but cross fingers for the real app*

Super excited and looking forward to having a new device, my backflip is old and tired and wants to be retired to glorified remote status. Gonna order an ACCELL MHL adapter, was just wondering what i should do when i first get the phone(unlock, root, that kinda stuff should be done first i know), i know not to be syncing my music and reflashing all the time but is there something really obvious i'm forgetting. Anywayz thanx for any help and pray for Andy's safe arrival from Amazon(poor little guy's gotta spend those horrible long hours in warehouses and on shipping trucks, all alone no idea where home is)
As much as I dislike Crapple and there products I believe that I have to get a Mac for work :/
I was wondering if any of you guys had a Mac and how is it?

best decision you can make trust me I have had to MacBooks and a mac mini. My Macbook has been nothing but great for college no slow starts, its there when you require it, will not freeze or let you down when you most need it. Theres less malware viruses ect for it so you feel a little more secure. Apple support is a plus this guys will fix any problem you have within warranty and aslong as you did not brake anything on purpose. Besides you can install virtual machine and run windows 8, xp, vista ect its like you have two computers in one.

Or you could build a hackintosh for home. Sandybridge has made building and using one with lion a piece of cake. Under 300 bucks for a nice mac mini performance machine. It's funny how people won't admit to owning any apple products in these threads for fear of being pounced on. At least this section seems better than most.
What kind of job do you have that they would use mac? Macs suck at business stuff

I have a MacBook unibody the one before the retina display have never had any problems. I recommend going to the apple store and trying them out on display.. Besides most people don't like Mac and yet they have never owned one.. So just try it out because what matters is what you want not what me or some one else likes... If you have a question just let me know Id be glad to answer

I work in IT and use them all the time. Actually fixing one right now. And from an IT stand point Macs are no good for buis. And you can run multiple OS's on any PC. That is not a Mac thing they just advertise it because they know you will need windows for something
Once you go MAC you don't go back to "PC"
been in IT since 1982.. been on MAC at my home office for 4 years now. I have 6 laptops of my own and 4 MACS also. 2 mbp, 1 macro, and 1 new while unibody for daughter at college.. I have serviced all pc's from Southern Cali to Washington DC. I have yet to fully need to break down a mac any place ... only hard drives if that. When I repair PC'S laptops at Colleges its always a windows' machine. The reason I switched over was the virus issues with PCs and the constant WTF i need to update today before I start working on my PC. Sure they both have trojans and mail ware. But PC's have viruses and MAC's do not. Meaning PC's can be made inoperable by malicious software a lot more often were as MAC will be used as pons in a greater hacking plan with implanted trojans.... but still operate. Many times without the user ever knowing. Last reason .. economics... take a look at the income scale of MAC user's .. usually a lot higher than your typical PC user. By no means am I saying PC users don't make more money than MAC users.. just are usually in my field experience in a more lucrative high paying career position than a trade "job". Granted you defiantly have infinite more options of software and best of breed hardware options building PC's. If you want to do what you want how you want .. build your own PC box. If you want to power up and get to work on the reason you power'd up every time you power up with out having to restart our machine after using it for extended periods of time opening and closing apps.. going in and out of hibernation/sleep mode for days on end..... MAC is the way to go. .................... on last note.. the pc are great .. mac's are great... the internet is bases off UNIX not DOS. MAC is based off UNIX. If dos went away.. PC would rule hands down. truly its not the hardware man.. its the software that's the issue. I for all OS's merging closely into one within the next 20 years... each upgrade of windows it becomes more MAC. its just how it goes. even Ubuntu with its unity desktop is following suite as well. out of all the computers in my home only one 2 year old Sony has Windows 7 Ultimate on it to flash my GPS and Pimped out Epizzal 4G's Touch.. LOL.. everything else Runs on OS-X and UBUNTU... .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon6.gif
Did you guys know that in a few years windoze will be releasing Microsux X ... I had to contribute!
Switched in 2010 and haven't looked back since. 2010 MBP upgraded to 8Gb of RAM and a 256Gb Crucial SSD, its been plenty fast, and loaded Win7 on it, but recently pulled that off and put XP on instead.
I was so impressed with it when my PC bit the dust I replaced it with a 27" iMac.
Lol just do Hackintosh. I have one and it beats the crap out of my friend's mac. Go for SB-E and then buy an IB-E cpu.

same here... neVAAAAA going back to PC........ have the same 15 MBP did the same upgrade...also insalled Lion.. it just plain flies............
tried to bog it down by 1. dowloading 25 gigs torrent 2. burn 8.5 dvd 3. streaming music 4. streaming hd video 5 running AI to edit newspaper add 6. surfen web news sites 7. 3 machines RDP 8. backing up data to NAS 9. apple checking for updates.. ALL AT SAME TIME. AND THE MACHINE JUST KEEP SAYING "BRING IT!! BRING IT!" no lag what so ever!.
Sorry PC's.. since I'm not a big PC gamer.... My switch has been a long time coming.. I wish they would start the IM A MAC / PC commercials again too funny.. but all of them true. LMAO.:highfive:
No it's not true because you're comparing computers with intel processors that are far superior to all its predecessors. I can do the exact things you stated with my Core i7-920 machine with no hiccups as well because the jump from Core 2 duo/quad to first gen i7s was 20% increase in performance on average. 2nd generation and 3rd generation are 10-20% better than the first gen nehelams (depending on task).
It does not matter if it's a PC or a Mac. You'll be hard pressed to make any modern CPU from Intel or AMD choke in any way unless you're doing the most demanding of tasks where intel completely dominates.
An updated windows 7 machine from a QUALITY manufacturer (not the cheap hp/dell stuff in retail stores) will last as long as any MBP. There is a reason the commercials stopped. It just didn't work anymore against the improvements in Win 7.
Also i live in the state capital of CA and have family with seniority positions within the gov't and let me tell you. Even though literally everyone has an Ipad...
Out of the thousands of computers, I did not ever encounter mac's in huge quantities. Only windows or custom OS's.
Side note #1 - MBP's use SSD's which allow for insanely fast response times.
#2 - They do get viruses / malware and are usually the fastest to be hacked in any hacking competition due to extensive security vulnerabilities that they take forever to patch which is also one of the main reasons the PCvMac commercials stopped when MS got its act together.

Mac desktops are PCs... You know a personal computer. Just like Dells, HPs, Sony and the like. OSX is pretty but I'm not paying an arm and leg for a name brand. It's like Air Jordan sneakers. Every year its the same hing different colour higher price. Sometimes add some need giltz and glam.

Just bought both an MBA 13" 2012 edition and the Asus Zenbook UX31A. It's my first time using a Mac and I've been a pro-PC person all my life, but I can honestly say that the Air is better than the UX31A, which is the top Ultrabook out right now. The specs are pretty identical, but this is a lot more intuitive and they are basically the same price.
But since this thread is about Android phones, I'll say that I usually just run Parallels to Windows 7 for my Android stuff because I CBA figuring out how Heimdall works instead of Odin haha. Otherwise, I think it's basically the same. Macs are pretty good with automatically finding drivers.
