Re: Your DREAM cab wishlist thread
The main function of my phone is for Web reading. It allows me to read during transit on the Subway from home to office, and back. Having Opera's tabbed browser (able to open 8 tabs before crashing Opera my TP2 -- anyone have ideas for increasing this capability?) is great, since this is the first time I can open up enough items to keep me occupied while I don't have a signal on the Subway.
The truly killer app for me, though, would be something I could use to keep my reading material in sync between phone & PC. Even just an RSS reader, where I could download the latest feeds before leaving my house, mark the items I want to read on my phone while in transit, and then be able to instantly sync that up with my PC upon arrival at the office. But it'd be even better if this were incorporated into a browser, and I could just fling URLs back and forth, grab passages and save them in a draft blog post on the TP2, then finish it at my PC, etc. Since I'm a journalist & blogger, anything to let me continue the reading & writing process relatively unimpeded in transit would be a big plus. Also: VLC on WinMo. VLC is the only media player anyone at my TV production company uses to play files, since it's pretty much guaranteed to play any files, any codecs, any time. And the MP4s we encode for YouTube uploading and for a colleague to view on his iPhone -- I can't get them to play on my TP2. And I can't guarantee they'll play on CorePlayer, so I'm not shelling out $30 just to guess. I just want one video player to rule them all, and VLC has definitely been that. Also: my old Treo had a great contact lookup feature: you could punch in the first letter of their first name, then start spelling their last name, and almost all contacts would come up correctly after just a few key-presses. This is such a simple, useful feature I'm surprised it hasn't been incorporated as a default into every phone, everywhere. And Pidgin on WinMo. Pidgin has made communicating with colleagues/sources/partners/friends/family immensely easier than it used to be. And syncing between PC and TP2 there, too (why not?). |

You know, you can do that in the dialer. Just open the dialer and you can type the first couple of letters of ANYBODY's name that is in the contacts and it will just pop up. For instance I hit 66 for MOM but just basically put MO in and my moms number pops up.

Re: Your DREAM cab wishlist thread
I would love a .cab that enabled the ability to sync with more than 1 Exchange server. No 3rd party apps, just native Exchange sync for 2 servers.
I would also like an app like they have for the iPhone that allowed you to run network speed and latency tests. And finally I would like WM to behave more like the iPhone where it automatically detects preferred Wi-Fi networks (like my home access point) and connected without me having to interact with the Wi-Fi software. |

Working Hamachi client
A better PPTP client, supporting multiple sites, which doesn't require you to do funky stuff (i.e., URL list) |

Re: Your DREAM cab wishlist thread
I would like a cab that would allow VZW Sync to display the message body in the TF3D envelope. The hack of setting up a fake exchange gets the person sending the email and the subject to show but the only full message is the Microsoft test message. Oh and Psycho, can you send me a copy of that Cab when you get it?
