My mobile requirements
So here we go… I decided to move from Windows Mobile to Android. I'm going to leave a set of well known apps for the unknown and that's something I want to plan. I'll report my findings here so let's start with my favorites.
Desktop passthrough on Windows Vista with Windows Mobile Device Center
I've been fighting for a few days trying to connect my HTC pro through my desktop's internet connect on Windows Vista. My mobile had no problems connecting to Windows Mobile Device Center but I couldn't access the internet.
The solution is to add a reg key to Vista:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services] "AllowLSP"=dword:00000000
With this entry and after a restart everything was fine.

iPhone-like slider unlock
While browsing for new skins for phonealarm I bumped into a nice tool called S2U2. It's a nice screen saver with an iPhone unlock slider and many configuration options like caller-id, password lock, changing background pics. It's an eye catcher and a nice digital picture frame.
