Lately I’ve been experimenting with my s200, until I finally got it. Well, rather, the cracks working on the linwizard project have achieved it, given the similarities of the HTC Wizard with the Prophet we can perfectly run the assembled kernel from one to the other.
We have been able to run the command line for a long time, but the first graphical environments such as GPE, Opie, OpenMoko and even Android are already beginning to move.
Although we all virtualize, I always hear the same complaints about the administration interface of Virtual Server R2, since the administrative interface is via the web we lose some of the speed we have with the clicks in desktop applications (either real or it gives us the sensation).
Well, we have a little-known alternative, even with this tool we can install some Additions.
After the surrender of Palm and the failure to reach the public of OpenMoko, Google attacks with its Android Operating System being a reality, today the HTC Dream goes on sale, with this OS. embedded, being able to develop with languages such as Java, Mono,…..
UPDATE: (HTC seems to be rumored to announce the launch of the Diamond in South Africa in Q4 2008) HTC Dream
And although theoretically it is new hardware, for some time now we have been able to see videos on YouTube of how it works on other devices.
I am the greatest defender of competition, both for my enemy and for me, basically because this implies that neither of us will stay asleep and we will advance technology, with the end user always being the greatest beneficiary. To this day Windows Mobile is the undisputed leader in mobile devices, but little by little rivals are being born that are not exactly something we should rule out (IPhone, Android, …..). Well, a reality is OpenMoko (it seems to me that there are not many Spanish speakers in the project ;) ).
Next November 15, the launch of the new Windows CE 6.0 R2 will take place, the next base for our mobile devices, replacing the current Windows CE 5.2.
It has several interesting new features:
In case you don’t know them yet, you can’t miss the effects that can be achieved on Windows Mobile:
Here I leave you the source code and in case you simply want to rock it on your PDA the .cab
To make our task easier, we will use the library to manage Outlook on our Windows Mobile.
using Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook;
Then we will have to define the work session:
OutlookSession outsess = new OutlookSession();
And then to make sure which one we want to send from, we can put all the ones that our PDA has in a ListBox:
foreach (EmailAccount ee in coll) { lstAccounts.Items.Add (ee.Name); }
We only have to declare the email, filling it out
Due to the needs of a new project, I have been involved in the need to establish a telnet connection, so since we start investigating we do it from a Pocket PC, although the code I present is independent of the device, even Mono.
After reviewing several dotnettelnet type libraries, I opted for Minimalistic Telnet, basically because it was more adapted to my needs and it is much clearer what we intend to do at the learning level.
Since HTC does not decide to release the update and the monkey is not forgiving, we have had to put in a little effort, and since we are not going to demonstrate that it is possible and how to do it.
Requirements:
HTC s200 (we can buy it, steal it, contract with a mobile operator, ….)
A computer with Windows XP or 2003. I DO NOT recommend doing it with Vista. It is necessary that the PC has USB, and that it works well, although the good thing is to do it with one that blocks the USB when you connect something to it, as was my option (you might screw up… yes, but what about the pleasure of risk??)
