It seems to be heavily affiliated with google links to their products, the ones in the top strip of google.com/ig. Uses pie, no customizable settings, only works in landscape. Um, would wait for updates from thetechturf before investing any surf time.
Trying it now...It seems it works only in landscape mode. Thank you for submitting this link .
hi, I am testing but graphics is low! I think that is by developing better

I agree 100% its no different the using a bunch of bookmarks.
Looks promising, will keep an eye on this for future developments. Thanks for the heads up.
Bookmark would be safer

A good set of bookmarks will do it or try the following string in your browser "mobile.google.com"
Yeah, last version is 0.492b, march
New features, updates, and bug fixes:
* New Google Icons
* Removed all unofficial Google products.
* Google Checkout, Google Product Search, Google Finance, Google Blogger, and Google Driving Directions added
* Fixed SIP (keyboard) not displaying issues (available in the settings panel)
* Fixed SIP covering textbox issue
* Fixed program closing issues
* Fixed portrait mode issues
Hey,
I downloaded this app and installed it onto my HTC Kaiser.
the app only runs in Landscape mode and I can't find any setting to make it run in portrait mode.
After I removed it, pages in Opera Mobile and PIE do not render properly for the screen in portrait mode. they continue to render as if the device is in landscape mode all the time.
How do I change this back to normal operation?
I tried this one... As i saw it, it was only a shell for PIE. Not bad, but not as good as other apps For example opera mini for speed, or netfront for full browsing.
For mailing, i guess pocket outlook is also better, cause it only connects if you send or receive. With this app it can disconnect or log out while writing a mail...
So, not bad, but not something extraordinary...
Prefer yahoo2go!
compared to google2go.
SocialSync 0.1
Imports (one-way synchonization) your Facebook contacts to your Pocket Outlook.
Supports the following sync mappings:
* Facebook super-sized profile pic --> Outlook Picture
* Facebook Full Name --> Outlook's FileAs, FirstName, MiddleName, LastName
* Facebook Profile URL --> Outlook GovernmentID
* Facebook Relationship Status --> Outlook Spouse
* Facebook Birthday --> Outlook Birthday
* Adds "facebook" to Outlook Categories
* Facebook Status --> Outlook JobTitle
* Facebook Personal Website --> Outlook Website URL (only first one since Outlook only supports 1 URL)
* Facebook Email (image representation) --> Outlook Email
Supported on:
WM2003, WM5, WM6, WM6.5, WM6.5.3
QVGA (240x320) Portrait (want more formats? donate!)
.NET Compact Framework 3.5
To-do:
* Scheduled imports
* Allow skipping importing Facebook Status (saves a http hit)
* Phone numbers! lol. nightmare formatting, some are 004412344.. some are +4412344.. some are 012344.. some are 4412344
DISCLAIMER: This is an unofficial app (lowercase 'a' for app because it's NOT a 'Facebook Application'). It is unofficial because I have not signed a ToS with Facebook. This application is for EDUCATIONAL-USES only. It is recommended you do not use this. Using this MAY breech your User agreement with Facebook, which means your personal account may be suspended, deleted, blocked, or banned. You have been warned.
the welcome screen contains a menu. the menu can launch the email input screen, which is where you manually type the email contained in an image. it can also force a manual sync, once the wizard was completed at least once before.
enter your facebook email and password here. click next to save login details to device.
socialsync will now fetch your friends list, so this takes about 8 http requests per 100 friends.
now you can link facebook friends (on the left) with pocket outlook contacts (on the right).
this is where you can import facebook friends that does not have a corresponding outlook contact already.
your sync profile has been saved and is ready to do an initial sync.
this is the actual sync process. it takes 4 http requests per contact to get their information.

Source code: use Reflector on the .exe - it's not obfuscated or anything
so the diff between this and the sense ability is you can import all facebook contacts that have phone numbers not just ones that are in your phone already?

oops, didn't know that Sense can do this, which version?
but yeah, mine does more then.. it can bring down new facebook friends and create new contacts on phone, but also their email address, date of birth, address, contact pic --> outlook pic, IM addresses, etc
I would love this, but the reason we haven't had this so far is that it violates Facebooks TOS and gets people banned for doing this. Will this not be a problem?

I would love this too and it would be a shame if it did violate the TOS - I can't see how it can? - my Facebook friends update their individual privacy policies to allow me to view the information they wish. As far as I can see that's all the app is fetching?
Please do continue this project if you can, even if Sense does already have this functionality - I don't have sense (the ui!)! Doesn't SPB Mobile Shell do this too?
The way I see it, is this is just a custom User-Agent. If Facebook want to go round "banning" people for using a non-normal browser, then it's not a site I'd like to use.
I imagine people will be syncing once a day or once a week.. I've been syncing like every 5 minutes for a week with no problem using my own account. I'll let you all know if I ever get "banned".
I'll add a disclaimer to first post, but brandall got it on the head; this is all information shared and authorised for by your friends.. this app just saves you having to click each profile by hand and eye to manually update your phone. It's also a bit like any HTTP cache/proxy or FasterFox.
Plus, in theory, how could they ever tell? I haven't done a byte-by-byte comparison, but I do things like Referrer tracking, cookies, random delays.. for all they know it's a scriptlet running in firefox.. and even if they deployed javascript obfuscation, this sync could just run an IE session in a hidden window and use DOM to access the data..
I like this app a lot and look forward to its release.
I also look forward to it. Been looking for something like this for a long time. Any chance it will be wvga as well?
Facebook doesn't allow any application that can access personal details other than Names and Birthdays. Phone numbers, addresses, etc are all off limits. If you account is running any app that access that stuff you can be banned. It's happened many times in the past. Just look up "Facebook sync to Outlook" or a derivitave of that.
If this app has a way around that, then sweet.
Great!
Finally a Facebook Sync! Thank you so much
hello
this is to encourage you more and more to do this genius idea... a really very useful and practical ideal
thanks in advance

First version posted to first post!
It's not .cab yet, no idea how to make .cabs..
just unzip to \program files\SocialSync\ or somewhere and run
Thanks! It feels a bit rough on the edges, but does work well!
Is it possible to choose what data to sync? For some friends, I prefer not to have their profile pictures sync'ed.

not yet, can't think how to present per-user selective importing on a 3-inch user interface
what is the most annoying rough-edge? i would like to polish that.
donations welcomed (for my personal efforts on this forum; not specifically this app)
very nice!! although i spent 1 hour linking my facebook account to outlook it is still a nice idea...
few suggestions:
1- option for exporting link information in case i need to redo all that after a room upgrade
2- also like previous comments, the name boxes are small so if i have 3 guys named Mohammad i do not know which one is which...
3- easier search in outlook contacts by allowing to type names instead of searching in a big contacts list
thank you for your effort, you are really achieving something here, although it is only for educactional purposes only
wow, why did it take an hour? i did put randomised delays inbetween requests, but they are quite low (0.1-1.5 secs).
1. to backup partnership database, just back up your outlook/pimstore.. the partnership exists because the GovernmentID field is filled in with a facebook profile url. this is the key to breaking sync relationships with a contact.
the file on device friends.dat is just a cache of friends, it can be lost with no problem.
2. i struggled to find a decent gui toolkit to use for this app. microsoft made an iphone GUI clone but it's too complex to digest (no design-time support, no docs, no support).. but in March we should all see Compact Silverlight Beta, maybe that can help. basically I use a ListBox which doesnt support left/right scrolling. maybe i'll try a ListView if that exists in CF..
3. i could maybe do that. what part of my auto-guess feature doesn't help you properly? on my phone it's a snap to find someone - it jumps to the closest named contact whenever i select a new fb friend on the left..
i stumbled across this when i decided to go NAND with "Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2 [Deodexed] [RLS12] [7/26/10] Combined All Languages".

lemme know if you find this useful.
Holy hell, it's amazing, the array of new features brought to us beats out any other update for any other mobile OS, it's even smoother than before which I thought was impossible, the social integration and office are astounding at the very least. I was in love with the initial release, impressed by nodo, and now I'm head over heels for the RTM of Mango. As far as mobile OSes go it is now the clear winner, all we have to do is catch up in the gaming department and get a half-decent marketing team and we're set.
I feel pretty much the same. After flashing WP7 to my HD2 I immediately fell in love and traded the device for an HD7. But I wouldn't go so far to say WP7 is the winner now. There are still several things Android and iOS do better. But considering the fact that WP7 is about 1 year old I'd say with all its potential it's just a matter of time. But like you already said, without some good marketing, even the smoothest and best featured OS won't make it to the top.
Thought it may be the single biggest update of any mobile os, it only brings wp7 remotely close to what android can do, and about on par with iphone. Maybe that's why?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
It is lacking basic functionality settings needed to make it productive in a work environment versus entertainment and socialization. I don't want to use Crackberry and am able to hack the registry and sideload unsigned apps on NoDo enough to make it do what I need, but Mango has limited that even so I am sticking with NoDo until something comes along that is usable as far as work (this device is my link for work as well as life). MS really needs to look at this more as the iPhone, BB, and even Android offer more customization and functions for work.
I agree, WP7 needs to be much more customizable. If WP7 retains its smoothness and is as customizable as Android I'd be in love. There's a simple way for Microsoft to protect WP7 via some option to enable full hackability for the naive user but at the same time allow those who wish to tweak to have full access to the OS.

Par with the iPhone??? Even that has turn by turn Nav and wifi tethering! I think Microsoft still have a lot to do. The updates so far have been better than all of the competators and the OS is slick but we still lack some very basic features, i mean come on MS surely we could have custom colours and alert tones, tethering etc.
After the awaited Mango update I still have some few questions...
* Why I cannot access music and videos from Skydrive
* Why Skydrive is so difficult to use compared to Dropbox?
* Why I have a 100MB upload limitation with Skydrive?
* Why I cannot upload folders to Skydrive?
* Why I cannot delete several pictures in the same time in Skydrive?
* Why I do not have USB mass storage in WP7 with some reserved space?
* Why I do not have DivX|Avi codec?
* Why MS services are over US-centric?
* Why I cannot have Swype?
* Why I cannot edit my forwarded emails?
* Why the WP7 default keyboard has no directionnal arrows?
* Why I cannot send short videos by MMS?
* Why I cannot send pdf documents?
* Why I do not have a file explorer?
* Why I cannot upload a document to my Dropbox account?
* Why I cannot save camera settings?
* Why Bing Map does not display the names of the main streets around me?
* Why Bing Map takes more than 1 minute to display the map image?
* Why the IE browser does not support Flash?
* Why Voice recognition works only for a very limited number of services?
* Why I cannot save 2 mobile phone numbers for each contact?
* Why the WP7 default keyboard does not support multi-language (at least 2 languages in the same time)?
* Why I do not have separate volume controls?
* Why the hell when I'm in front of my PC I cannot easily use my USB cable to transfer my files (Word documents, OneNote audio files, pdf, documents, others) to my PC. Why the hell am I forced to use the cloud when I am in front of my PC???
* Why am tied to Zune and to my PC to manage my Music library?
* Why I cannot drag and drop my music and videos if I want to. Why shall I need a proprietary software, Zune, to convert and sync my videos?
* Why is WP7 supposed to be an iPhone clone, totally locked down, with no freedom, but without all the apps and all the features the iPhone has?
* Why am I stuck with the WP7 keyboard, the WP7 browser, without any alternative? What a jail WP7 is.

Be careful you may be in trouble soon on this forum
I absolutely agree, it would be great to have all those answers.
But apparently not soon. Maybe Windows 8.
I think WindowsPhone 8 may be the right thing. But now MS has still alot of work to do.
I will upgrade to Mango but it looks like it still won't be the best OS...
Bringing the US-centered functionality to the rest of the markets, that's a big task.

Hi Peew971,
I bought WP7 because I used to be a WinMo hardcore fan.
I love the Metro UI and also wanted to give a chance to WP7 and expected that all the essential features I listed above would be implemented quickly.
But it seems Microsoft is not listening.
Mango was supposed to be a BIG update. Actually, one year after launch it is still not possible to send a video by MMS. Still not possible to edit a forwarded email.
I find this unbelievable.
The camera setting is a perfect exemple. 80% of the users complain that the settings cannot be saved.
But instead of accepting this and improve things, MS keep on repeting that this it is by design. Silly attitude.
Also, when I bought WP7, I did not expect that Bing Map would be such a failure.
Turn by Turn implementation is an insult to customers.
I did not expect that I would not have Swype.
I did not expect that I would not have official Google Maps app.
Mainly, I did not expect that most MS services would be reserved to US and UK people only.

this impoves the platform , how ?
the only way a platform can improve is by listening to end users' desires. suggesting they buy a different phone is counterproductive, isn't it ?
to sum his whole post into one question, "why can't android have a smooth, functional UI and a worthwhile ecosystem?"
Thatd be because google can't steal an ecosystem and heaven forbid they actually code their own OS.

another case of "I didn't look into what I was buying before I bought it and I didn't have the common sense to understand how being a corporation works."
The typical end user and even myself, a dev and self-proclaimed geek do not give a damn about 90 percent of what you listed if not more.

that's funny, because the general public seems to strongly disagree... Well, if you wanna buy a couple billion winmo 6.5 handsets to make it look like Microsoft did anything right there and perhaps sway the in that direction do so. I reccomend the HD2, its as close as winmo got to a useful phone.

You can access them fromn Skydrive, just not directly to WP7.
Skydrive isn't difficult.
I don't know really since I didn't invent Skydrive.
Make a folder in Skydrive then upload the files inside the folder from your PC.
I don't know really since I didn't invent Skydrive.
Because WP7 is secure.
Because Zune doesn't natively support them.
Because its where the most consumers are.
I don't think you can tinker with WP7 keyboard.
You already forwarded the email, it means you have sent it, go back to the sent folder and edit it there.
Why would you need directional arrows when you can tap and hold.
No one really sends videos via MMS, but hopefully support comes soon.
You can send PDF files via email.
Because WP7 is secure.
I don't know.
You can, just tap on save settings.
Zoom in.
It's loading the captured image by satellites.
Flash is gonna end soon.
I don't know.
You can actually.
It does actually.
It's hardware related, not software.
Because there are programs in the PC that does the same on WP7, and just hit Save to Skydrive button.
Because Zune uses a specific driver to communicate to WP7 devices.
Because Zune is superior.
WP7 is in between iPhone and Android, its half open, half closed.
Because WP7 keyboard is the best there is, IE9 isn't but it performs well than iOS and Android.

After the awaited Mango update I still have some few questions...
* Why I cannot access music and videos from Skydrive
* Why Skydrive is so difficult to use compared to Dropbox?
* Why I have a 100MB upload limitation with Skydrive?
* Why I cannot upload folders to Skydrive?
* Why I cannot delete several pictures in the same time in Skydrive?
* Why I do not have USB mass storage in WP7 with some reserved space?
* Why I do not have DivX|Avi codec?
* Why MS services are over US-centric?
* Why I cannot have Swype?
* Why I cannot edit my forwarded emails?
* Why the WP7 default keyboard has no directionnal arrows?
* Why I cannot send short videos by MMS?
* Why I cannot send pdf documents?
* Why I do not have a file explorer?
* Why I cannot upload a document to my Dropbox account?
* Why I cannot save camera settings?
* Why Bing Map does not display the names of the main streets around me?
* Why Bing Map takes more than 1 minute to display the map image?
* Why the IE browser does not support Flash?
* Why Voice recognition works only for a very limited number of services?
* Why I cannot save 2 mobile phone numbers for each contact?
* Why the WP7 default keyboard does not support multi-language (at least 2 languages in the same time)?
* Why I do not have separate volume controls?
* Why the hell when I'm in front of my PC I cannot easily use my USB cable to transfer my files (Word documents, OneNote audio files, pdf, documents, others) to my PC. Why the hell am I forced to use the cloud when I am in front of my PC???
* Why am tied to Zune and to my PC to manage my Music library?
* Why I cannot drag and drop my music and videos if I want to. Why shall I need a proprietary software, Zune, to convert and sync my videos?
* Why is WP7 supposed to be an iPhone clone, totally locked down, with no freedom, but without all the apps and all the features the iPhone has?
* Why am I stuck with the WP7 keyboard, the WP7 browser, without any alternative? What a jail WP7 is.

I think these are true, I mainly wonder this must-have-zune thing too. I guess MS thought: Oh well, it works for Apple so we will do it also to sell more of our great mp3 players. They are wrong here, Apple fans are crazy fanatics. When the first iPhone came out, I actually gave a pen as a Christmas present to a friend, so next time I ask him to send me a phone number he has something to write it down with. Even though iPhone was missing these basic functions what a phone should have, people were happy with them.
Cant edit a forwarded email is insane of course.
I still like the OS, its approach and the possibilities. Hands down over android (which i consider to be a spying software by google anyway). I would think a reasonable thing with Android would be to give the phone away for free. You see, they want to know everything about you, ok give a phone for that. Now they take the info AND want money too. Its insane.
I hope the marriage with NOKIA will bring changes to the OS, and bring these basic things to us fast. Nokia has always made phones that actually have all the functions that we are missing from the OS.

I really hope too.
In order to clarify my position, I do like WP7.
I actually just cannot understand the restrictions and limitations
And cannot understand that one year after launch there are still not solved.
And also the fact that MS is apparently unable to listen to its customers and valid complaints.
