Noah's Ark
Noah's Ark is yet another PopCap game that gets ported into Pocket PC and Palm format. It is a puzzle game in which, just like Noah did, you need to match two animals to transfer to the ark while the flood water is rising. The rule is that simple, yet the game is addictive. You just use stylus to tap and match the animals. You can play the game in two mode: action and strategy. Action is more time-constraint: you need to finish moving the animals into the ark before the flood gets too high. Strategy is more thought-involving. As you pass the early levels, you will face *rocks* along the way that will be your obstacles. As with other PopCap games, as you pass levels, depending on your achievement you get different ranks. You get high resolution color graphics in this game. The graphics essentially mirror those of its desktop counterpart. They are easy on the eyes. Pocket PC 2002, Windows Mobile 2003(SE), Palm OS 4 and Palm OS 5 are supported. The music and sound effect are a bit too loud for my taste, so I usually just turn them off (the game provides option to do so), and switch to listening to soft Barry Manilow songs in the background :wink:
As usual, disclaimer: I am not in any way affiliated with the game maker company. Note that this is a mix review between the Pocket PC version and the desktop version since I do not own the game (I just use the trial).
Just caught this over at Brighthand's website, interesting theory. "AT&T will soon offer to its subscribers an accessory that can significantly improve their cell phone's reception.
According to investment banking firm ThinkPanmure, the wireless network operator has contracted with UK-based firm ip.access Ltd to provide femtocells for sale to AT&T customers.
The carrier reportedly plans to sell up to 7 million units over the next five years, pricing them as low as $100 to its customers." 
Sometimes we take our technology for granted and just accept it as is. It wasn't until someone offered to buy my iPhone that I began to really realize how much I treasure this device. Sure it's missing a few key items (task list) but the iPhone wasn't 
[From Eric Mann] Here is a tech quickie for you. "Mobile Skype was previously only available on Smartphones like Windows Mobile, but they've just ported a Java version for all kinds of non-smart phones. " Skype for your mobile is a mini, beta version of Skype that you can download on to your mobile. You don’t need to switch operators or get a specialised phone. The software is free – although there might be a small data charge from your operator if you download it straight to your mobile. 
I give mention to this program because it's one of my favourite financial programs or at least I should say because it is my favourite financial program and I receive a lot of emails from my readers asking what is my favourite programs. "RMRBank is a comprehensive finance package for the Palm OS series of platforms. As well as the usual functions of Transaction storing and statement reconciling, Archiving, Standing Orders/Direct Debits and Categories, it also has full multi-currency support, optional password protection, auto-counters and default transactions." 
I enjoyed reading Body (2.0) Actions over at Mobile Ministry Magazine and if you have not checked out the site it's an excellent website combining faith and technology. 
A special additional speak-up button device is connected wirelessly to nuvi 880 main unit, which you can attach it to the steering wheel so you may turn on/off the nuvi 880 Listen mode (also in the picture above). A speech icon can be seen in the main menu screen, if not in use or you say something that it doesn’t understand; the icon turns into red. And while not in use, it disappears & only touch-screen feature is enabled.
The above cellular services offered are not new features at all, just like the previously buzzed Dash Express, which also has it. You might remember Dash Express from our Palm Addict’s iPhone Editor; 
Maybe we are a little late with the Earth Day thang but Aziz at Treo Today says read ebooks on your mobile device and save paper. "You don’t need a dedicated ebook reader (like the Amazon Kindle Wireless Reading Device) to read ebooks. Your smartphone (whether it’s Windows Mobile, Palm OS, Symbian or even the iPhone) can do the job equally well. By reading ebooks, you also help to save trees (although you probably can’t claim that you save energy costs as well). " 
Good news for those of you use Yahoo services this may well be beneficial. "Yahoo users will soon have one place where they can manage all the services they use on the popular website.
The company has begun a mammoth re-engineering project that will unify the disparate services Yahoo runs.
It hopes the project will transform the site into a vast social network where Yahoo users can quickly find and communicate with each other.
The project should also aims to make it easier for web developers to use Yahoo data and services for their own ends." 
I seem to be getting more and more people singing the praises of the Treo 750. The 750 has been out for a couple of years now and more of you seem to be picking up on it. I used it in Fall of 2006 and it was my first stab at using Windows Mobile and throw in a Spectec Wifi card I was quite happy with the experience. It was only a tempory testing as I went back to using my Treo 650 but I do have to say that using the 750 was a good experience but just lookimng through some of the recent emails from readers that I am entering into the ibook throwaway I have to say that there is certainly an increase in those of you using the 750 and I am sure that you are looking forward to the rumored 800w which according to blogs and news sources such as 
I caught this at Mobihand this morning, not heard of it personally, but I am sure some of you will find it useful. "Mobicue is a social microblogging service. It allows users to update any photos, videos, or text and more in real time from their camera phones, and immediately shows them to friends on Mobicue. "
