People have different choices according to their comfort levels and their likings. This is also evident when it comes to system software. Many users like to use Windows OS (most used) and there are also people using MAC OSX(Apple MAC) as their preferable Operating System.And not just that many of us use devices such as hand helds ,Pocket PC,Mobile which might act as a cross platform devices.So if you are a MAC user and with a windows mobile device or any other mobile with different OS there might be some compatibility issues connecting/syncing the device with your Desktop PC.

Sync Mate allows us to sync our contacts and other important data of windows mobile and other devices such as nokia mobile phones with MAC OSX .So now using this application one can install the Windows mobile applications from their Desktop(Cab Installer).

Most recommended application for MAC users.

I remember when i was a kid,i used to play those whacky Snes games on those cartridges on my TV Video Game.Now everyone with a windows mobile can relive the moment of playing those Snes games on their pocket pc’s. SnesGo is a Snes Emulator for windows mobile.Though its still in its alpha stages,but all the testers out there can test this emulator on their Winmo’s.

Checkout their official site for compatability issues:- SnesGo.

We see a lot of cases of mobiles being robbed off by thieves in our day to day life and personally my mother lost 2 of her previous mobiles ,first one was Nokia and the second one was a Sony Erricsson Cybershot.

So keeping your mobile safe is utmost important which might contain not just for the price but the precious information  present in the mobile and the contacts. This application named Silent Spy acts brilliantly with windows mobile devices. If someone tries to change the SIM card from the phone then inserts a new one instead then that SIM card has to undergo the authentication process and if that SIM card fails that process then an SMS is sent to a number which is already has been saved as an alert number so one can always trace the number which is currently active on that windows mobile phone and this operation is triggered every time a new SIM card is inserted in the phone and the user of the stolen  phone is unaware of this procedure and owner can track it.

For more instructions about the registration and other queries visit their official site.

Today my friend tanmay told me about this one,i was completely unaware of this My Phone Beta service which was started by microsoft quite a while ago.So without further a due i quickly downloaded the installer file from their official site.

After installing the Cab File on the HTC Gene it was almost done for me.Just opened the application and logged in with my Windows Live ID and thats it.

Now  after logging in to the My Phone Area  We get various options for Syncing Documents ,contacts,Photos,videos,Music,Calendar ,SMS’s(text messages) on the account.One account can be used to save upto 200MB of data which in my opinion is more than sufficient.

And all this for free( at least at this moment ) makes it all win situation for the windows mobile users.

So now no need to hassle when the phone gets lost or something goes wrong with the phone/card memory all the important data is saved into the secured authenticated account of MyPhone Beta.

P.S:- Though this is currently a free service make sure  that you are having unlimited data plan activated on your mobile device.
