HTC Touch II
What are you using?
I was on the phone helping out a client with one of their machines when he asked,
What are you using ?
…
I’m using Ubuntu now, and it’s much better now. I’m never going back.
Apart from using two laptops (one Vista the 2nd Ubuntu) what I’m using more and more these days is my HTC Touch II, a Windows Mobile phone.
I really wanted a phone with a good Media Player, because using Public Transport for 3 hours each day really sucks when you can’t find something productive to use with that time.
Strangely enough, I really don’t use the Media Player for much entertainment consumption (also known as, I have more music on the phone then anything else, but I mostly use the Media Player to listen to Podcasts.)
Apart for the standard phone features (taking a call, making a call, using the phone book/contacts) a feature of the phone I check every day, is the little weather app. It’s just a ‘rich’ client that connects on demand to some weather website and gives me a sweet summary of weather forecasts for Sydney.
Weather Forecast for Sydney? It’s cold, and staying cold.
The HTC Touch II is heaps slower than the iPhone, and doesn’t have the gazillion apps touted for that platform. But there seems to be a gazillion apps for Windows Mobile out on the Internet, there’s just not a single repository for finding them so you have to have some serious Search Fu to find them.
I’ve updated my touch to the current Windows Mobile 6.1 platform thanks to the community out there, and am looking at a few apps for their usefulness for my experience.
