Fireworks - a FREE game from Astraware

July 3rd, 2008

Astraware Fireworks is a simple FREE application, showing sequences of fireworks flying and exploding into the air. As 4th July is traditionally a time for fireworks and celebrations in the USA, the features have been created to help our American friends highlight one of their major holidays - Independence Day!

Astraware

Astraware Fireworks is available for devices running Palm OS® 5 and later and Windows Mobile® 2003 and later, and this year a new BlackBerry® version is available which includes the backgrounds and firework effects but doesn’t include music, so sorry BlackBerry-owners - this time round you’ll have to hum your own marches! What better way to celebrate 4th July than with some Fireworks? Download your copy today - it’s available for a limited time only! Oh, and did we mention, it’s FREE?!

You can get Astraware Fireworks here

Nokia welcomes Warner Music Group to "Comes With Music"

July 1st, 2008

Nokia_Music So you are probably asking what is "Comes with Music"?

Nokia Comes With Music enables people to buy a Nokia device with a year of access to tracks from a range of great artists - past, present and future. Once the year is complete, customers can keep all their music without having to worry about it disappearing when their subscription is over. Universal Music Group International, SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT and Warner Music Group are part of the launch and Nokia is in discussion with many other international labels.

Sounds pretty good to me and evidently it sounds good to Warner too because today Warner Music Group will make its diverse catalog of new stars and legendary artists available through Nokia Music Stores around the world as well as through Comes With Music, a revolutionary way for people to discover and enjoy music offered uniquely by Nokia.

I saw this over at Mobility Site where Chris Leckness caught it over at Jason Langridge’s Blog who saw it over at MoDaCo. Whew, you see, that was not hard to give credit to all that found it first.  In any event, if you have a HTC Touch Diamond or are planning on getting one, there is an extended battery that has popped up on Expansys have that might be what you will want to deal with battery consumption issues if the new ROM does not fix them.

So in any event, Expansys has the answer here.

June 28th, 2008

The scroll wheel is a pretty good idea, but it takes too much to make it go around.  One full rotation is required to move the highlighted item by 1 step.

If you have a BlackJack II that is running Windows Mobile 6.1, you’re in luck and you can find the solution here at Mobile Jaw
