PC Software –How to Run on Win Mobile?

I was wondering, tht when buying a new smartphone if I go with windows based OS on mobile, will I be able to run any software tht can run on windows based desktop computer? If not, such functionality is expected to come with forthcoming Windows 8 mobile?
PS: I wana run my live stock market terminal on mobile phone.

Since ver 7, the os is no longer called windows mobile; its now called windows phone. but to answer your question, no you can't run desktop applications on windows phone (or windows mobile for that matter) and this is unlikely to change.
That said I'm sure you can find another application to achieve whatever it is that you're after on the marketplace...

:-( my all needs are getting completed with an smartphone, but i guess eventually i will have to buy a laptop as well... just to run my stockmarket software.... Damn and they are telling smartphones (Like SGS2 etc.) are quickly replacing laptops...
PS: Wht is the latest ver. of windows phone called and, what is the windows phone marketplace url (Kind of new to smartphones)

Well for a lot of people smartphones or tablets can replace computers, most people aren't stockbrokers!
The latest version of Windows Phone is 7.5 Mango, which is currently at RTM stage - i.e. released to OEMs pending approval for new devices and upgrades to existing devices.
The Windows Phone Marketplace can only be accessed via the phone or via the Zune desktop software. The Zune software comes highly recommended from me, it's a very, very good media management software and I can't live without the wireless sync function anymore!
You can browse the marketplace through Zune without owning a Windows Phone device.
Perhaps you could let the community know what it is exactly that you need to do and someone might be able to suggest something?
EDIT: As you're new to smartphones, from a usability perspective Windows Phone 7 would be an excellent choice for you - it is simply brilliant to use, the interface is understated and elegant and the lack of pointless graphics makes it both simple and quick. Microsoft have clearly put massive effort into making Windows Phone highly usable and have surpassed pretty much all expectations, especially with the 7.5 update, which brings in a huge amount of functionality. A lot of people try and put Windows Phone down having never used it, because it's one of those things that needs you to spend 10 minutes with it to understand - but once you've spent 9 minutes with it, everything else just seems ridiculously complicated.

Silverlight in Windows
Hi
Silverlight apps are currently available in Windows and I think that the concept being put out there at the moment is that Windows 8 will run the same apps as Windows Mobile 8.
Nobody knows if this will become a reality or not.

The best thing for you to do would be to find a mobile version of the software you are trying to run. Then get the device that runs that particular software.
The closest you'll come to running your "exact" software on a mobile device is to get a Windows based tablet or laptop. But to run your stock software on a smartphone, you will need the "mobile" version of that software, if it exists.
Also, check to see if your stock-terminal application is web-based. If it is, you may be able to access what you need with ANY smartphone through the smartphone's web browser. That means your "stock terminal" would work on Windows Phone, iPhone, Android, etc.

[Q] Formatting MicroSD Card Used in WP7 Device with Nokia Phone

Does anyone know what would be the least-featured (read: least expensive!) Nokia phone with the Symbian operating system that is capable of formatting a microSD card that's been used in a WP7 device? In other words, what model Nokia phone with the Symbian operating system should I look for (used) if I want ONLY to use it to format memory cards used in WP7 devices & want to spend as little money as possible?
The Nokia 7650 (S60) was the first, according to what I've read, Nokia phone released with the Symbian operating system; it was released in 2002 and had V6.1 of Symbian. Does anyone know if that early version of Symbian would format a WP7 card, or do I need a later version?
THanks,
Dennis

What do you just want to use it in something else...
Why not just use mini partition wizard on the PC. Is free so can't really go wrong.

I've used it a ton of times on my hd2 works perfect... There's another program too... I believe it the Panasonic sd formatter.. I think it's a program that comes with a digital camera or something.
No need to buy a Nokia though just to format a card.

Unless you've put Windows Phone 7 on your HD2, which I understand can be done, it's NOT the same as formatting a microSD card from a Windows Phone 7 device. Once removed from a Windows Phone 7 handset, the microSD card DOES NOT EVEN SHOW UP IN A PC WHEN YOU TRY AND READ IT THAT WAY. The ONLY way I know of FOR SURE to make it useable again is to format it in a Nokia phone that uses the Symbian operating system.

Yah I know... Only thing that shows is 200mb.
Its the wp7 partition that doesn't show up..
Yah had windows phone 7 on my hd2 since the original dft rom... That's actually why I ended up buying the hd7.
That program will work. I've actually since then used it for several other random stuff too. Like shrinking the drive on my laptop to dual boot 7 & 8.
When you open the program make sure you select te sd card. Then delete both partitions, it will turn into one unformatted partition, then format the whole thing to whatever format you want, then click the click check mark check to apply changes, let it do its thing, all set.

Had the same problem only seeing 200 mb of 2GB. Partition wizard worked perfectly for me.Thanks for the tip @reeg420

The above is not for native windows phones
as far as nokia you can get nokia music phone and it should be super cheap to get what you need to get done
It takes less than 3 minutes I did it for a member on xda and it was no problem
edit I used my n8 and it is symbian belle. It doesn't matter which os though

[Q] Is there a working version of HTC Sync Manager on Mac for the One X ?

Hi there !
Pretty much all my problem lies in the title : is there a version of HTC Sync Manager that works on Mac computers for the One X ?
Everywhere the documentation seems to say yes ("[...] for PC and Mac", "download the .dmg file", etc.), but on the official site i can't find a link to the reffered .dmg file, neither it is on my phone, and when I ask the support where I can find the file mentionned, they answer me : "To use HTC Sync on Mac, please install Dualboot and Windows, then install HTC Sync Manager"
I managed to find a Mac version of the software somewhere on xda-developers for others version of HTC, but my phone still isn't recognized by the application.
So... anyone here managed to get that one working ? I know there exists other free (or not) applications that can do the same, but I kinda liked it on first sight on my PC. I tried SyncMate but even though my contacts were originally freshly updated it wanted to delete about 48 of my contacts and modify 20 others
Thanks in advance for your time !
Tibler

yeah , I've got exact same problem , please someone help us quickly ...

I was going to look for HTC Sync for the MAC but will hold off for now, you could install Parallels Desktop then Windows 7 which allows you to run Windows 7 within the MAC OS no need for a Dual boot then.

I don't think I would be able to access my OSX Address Book that way either.
I used to do it quite simply with my 'old' Sony Ericsson W995 and the iSync application. Finding out it couldn't work that way with my One X still makes me sad

I'm having the exact same problem! I was an iPhone user since 2007 and always used iTunes to sync data. This is my first Android and I totally love it but its sad I can't get it to sync with my Mac. When I connected my One X to my Windows PC and set it to HTC Sync mode on the phone, the HTC Sync program begins to install but when I do it on my Mac, it says the device isn't recognised.

i have the same problem
i have the same problem but there is and app called the missing sync,, which is amazing u can transfer itunes, iphoto, contacts and call logs and much more
give it a try

What's good with HTC Sync is that it's free too. I don't think I want to pay 40$ to try an application

The site says the software is coming soon. So lets hope that it actually is coming soon and will allow the playback of protected content like it states it will!!
http://www.htc.com/www/help/htc-one-x/ -- at the bottom -- Note: Download and install HTC Sync Manager, when available, from our website. Or in the meantime, download and use the latest version of HTC Sync to sync your media and data.

And I always thought HTC Sync and HTC Sync Manager were the same thing...
Thank you for that eye opening revelation. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long !

I am on the same boat too, used iphone for 4 years now decided to change to HTC. But looks like HTC is not quite Apple friendly. I have a macbook so no way i wana bootcamp window and sync from window.
HTC really need to get this Sync Manager ASAP for mac users otherwise they will lose some clients as new iphone coming soon.

Get off it already. Hanging on to your Macs with a death grip, are we?!
At least HTC just released the good stuff for Windows 8... HTC Sync v3.2.10 for Windows – All Models

Available here : http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/
But they deleted all mention of a mac compatibility in the requirements/overview...

Uhm... yes. I left the world of clunky Windows operating systems running on craptastic generic machines, sloppily thrown together by shoddy manufacturers, many years ago and I have no plans of returning. Furthermore, the HTC One X will be my last HTC device until they learn how to properly support their products. Funny thing is, I said this back when I bought the 8925, only to find it had no display drivers, rendering its fancy GPU practically pointless.
These guys need to get a clue. We may not be the majority, when comparing OS platforms, but Mac users number well over 100 million and Apple is the largest manufacturer of personal computers on the planet. Samsung has Kies running on Mac, with a link neatly placed right beside the Windows version. I'll be ditching my One X in favor of a Galaxy S3. Good riddance, HTC.

It is available to download now

I have problem connecting though on JellyBean Maximus 4.1 ROM.
Update: It seems to take quite some time on first time device connection.

Need suggestions about HTC 7 mozart

Hi all.
I want to know how it is.
Does it have android apps like viber,tango,skype etc?Or it has different apps?
I never used windows mobile 7 phone.

I used to be a big fan of Windows Phones, but the OS is too closed for my liking.
Go ask in the HTC 7 forums, you'll definitely get answers there
