New: Today Wireless Plugin

He's a great new and free Today screen plugin. Takes little screen space and lite on the memory too.

Tekcomm plugin (Author's Website) is a simple application for controlling the radio devices on your Pocket PC: Phone, Bluetooth, Wireless LAN.

Under the settings icon (first on the left) for "Enter Phone Connection to Dial" you'll want to put Sprint PCS Vision: this will allow for the 2nd to last icon (w/butterfly) to act as a Data Connection toggle, which is very nice (and was my request to the developer as well as 5-way navigation!

)

Forget your "Comm Manager" this is much simplier and more reliable

Thanks Malatesta. Haven't installed yet but will these icons stack on top of the phone alarm icons?

1) Yeah, they work great with PhoneAlarm. With some skins for PA, they are redundant but I still like the look and ease of access

2) The last two icons: icon with butterfly is to connect/disconnect your data/GPRS connection which is basically your EvDO (see config instructions in my 1st post)

The very last icon: This is for a specific access point address for wifi. Say you're in a building with multiple APs, but you only want to connect to one. That button is like a "favorite" access point (SSID)--you click it and it'll connect to that one WiFi AP even if you're picking up mulitple APs.

i thought the last one was for using your phone as a modem.. if you go under settings and connections, you'll see that same icon and it says use phone as modem or something along those lines underneath

No. It's what I said it was for: Favorite AP SSID not phone as modem.

Great addin!! Only thing I would like to see added in would be the inclusion of a button to disable/enable direct push. That would be the best. I find myself still using the comm manager to shutdown the DP when I don't want to be bothered with email (during meetings or other times when it can be a nuisance.
