Skyfire abandoned WinMo

Skyfire has abandoned WinMo, the community is angry but Skyfire management is not doing anything about it.

http://support.skyfire.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5992

What is Skyfire you might ask? Skyfire is powerful web browser for smartphone that support flash, mainly for WinMo and symbian. However recent Skyfire moved to apple apps store. Since then WinMo and Symbian users have problem accessing Skyfire. Web browsing using Skyfire was nice because the browser works with the company server to optimize the web content you surfing, but now not anymore for WinMo and Symbian.

Sorry, appls apps store is just way too good to earn money already. :P

Freeware PPC: Paul's Pick 1.1

Okay, Paul is death, but its' left behind some legacy, if you still remember World Cup 2010.

Now you can have Paul in your palm, err... I mean your Windows Mobile phone(s). First release was on Sept this year, but at that time only support WVGA and VGA screen. I didn't try it out because my HTC Touch Elfin is QVGA only. After a few people and me requested for QVGA screen, TangoChen, the author finally made the QVGA and some other resolution version last month. So the screen supported are:
WVGA/VGA/QVGA/WQVGA. HVGA have not being verify yet.

The new version also support G-sensor, if you have one on your phone.

Once you launch it, you can set your choices and then ask Paul to do the picking for you.

To download, go to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774568
You might need to register to be able to download the cab, but it is free. And you should check out xda forum more often if you are WM user. :)

TangoChen, don't mind I use your picture from xda forum okay?

RockMelt: that not quite there yet

I have blogged about RockMelt few days ago. And on that very same day I have already got it installed. So here is some snapshot, and some rant on this beta.

After clicking the link in the invitation email, went to RockMelt website again, but now the button on the left of the page changed to Download.

Yes, they have to hope us will love it, it is BETA, did I told you?

The setup file less than 1M, so I figure it need to download again and yes, after double click it, it start to download other setup files from internet. Make sure you are on a fast connection, else you will hate it. :P

You have to login to RockMelt using facebook account, I am sure Zuck is behind this.

And for first time login, it will ask for your permission to allow RockMelt to use all your information (every piece of them!) from Facebook.

After login, here is the very first page of RockMelt. Hey, where is the buttons (they called it apps) on the left and right of the windows? I went to search online for RockMelt review, all of them have the apps on the left and right of the windows, but all of them are using Mac, not windows. Bugs for Windows version? Search the help, search online RockMelt help, didn't help, no one complain about that? My Windows 7 problem?
The interface looks like Google Chrome btw.

Also a task manager to show how much memory each of the RockMelt processes used. Remind me again on Google Chrome.

RockMelt, you want to Rock, but Melt on the way. :P
RockMelt, not quite there yet.
