MDA
Update: new browser & new mobile tech on the way…
So… this morning I decided to download the Google Chrome browser now that I have seen all of the different browser performance test bench studies that actually show that the Google Chrome browser is actually pretty smooth and fast. I will post a review of my experience in more detail in the future.
My new mobile tech on the way…is the new T-Mobile G1! I am so excited about this device. As you probably know from earlier post that I currently have the T-Mobile MDA. I do like the MDA and all of the functionality but it is time for an update. I thought about getting an iPhone but I don’t like be pre-told what I can and can’t do with my own device. So, the T-Mobile G1 device will work out perfectly for my needs and with Open Source you definitely don’t have to worry to much about limitations. iPhone killer? Yes, that is just my opinion but we will see overtime.
What do you think about the Google Chrome browser? Are you getting the T-Mobile G1?
T-Mobile MDA…
Let’s start with the most versatile of them all; my T-Mobile MDA. This is a great Windows Mobile 5 based device. I am running a couple of different third party applications to add to the productivity of the phone. The core add on is the Spb Mobile Shell. This allows me to have Windows Vista like icons as well as a three time zone clock, weather, & an icon based speed dial, all on the Home Screen. Since I consider myself a more advanced technology user then the average, I enjoy adjusting & having control over as many parts of my hardware as I can. With that said I have an app on my MDA that allows me to set the CPU (Central Processing Unit) at different clock speeds. This is called “over clocking” & with this advanced task comes the increase in heat dissipation by the CPU. There is also a part of the app that tells me the internal temp of the MDA. This advanced app is called Battery Status; there are many other applications that this developer has available for the MDA but this is the only one that I have downloaded thus far. I would make a list of the available third party apps for the MDA but to be honest there are just too many out there. Here are just a couple of the more popular: Windows Live Suite, Skype, SoftX FTP Client, Adobe Flash Player & Windows Mobile Fusion.
A great resource for finding more advanced products available as well as great user to user knowledge database is the xda Developers Forum.
Here are some links to help you find more information about the MDA from others on the web.
