Re: [UPDATED 12/9/08]This iPhone App = This WinMo App
 

It's for a very limited market I suppose, but I would love to have this: http://www.istockmanager.com/

Also, I played "Blue Skies" ( http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPhon...iew.asp?c=9201 ) on my friends iPhone. Good mindless fun, but this probably isn't supposed to be a game thread. ?

Re: [UPDATED 12/9/08]This iPhone App = This WinMo App
 

This is a thread designed to find Windows Mobile apps that are similar or provide the same function as an app found on the iPhone, game or no.


I'd really like to see more activity from other members here helping out with this. I know there are many users where with lots of knowledge of WinMo apps out there.

Re: [UPDATED 12/9/08]This iPhone App = This WinMo App
 

Sherv, I think I found what you're looking for, and if I haven't, well, I'm pretty darn sure its the closest you're gonna get.
Check this out! Just enter http://rei.zumobi.com into PIE and download the cab. I got it working on my 800w so hopefully it'll work for you.

Re: [UPDATED 11/29/08]This iPhone App = This WinMo App
 

For now, I'd say the best solution is using Microsoft LiveSearch. I know it doesn't have all the features or bling of Urbanspoon but it gets the job done, and fairly well if I do say so myself. I prefer it being integrated into a maps application where I can get directions to it using GPS or save it as a contact.

Re: [UPDATED 12/10/08]This iPhone App = This WinMo App
 

OK...pardon my ignorance, but from all the reading I can find, is Pandora just a radio/MP3 playing app? I am trying to see what the attraction is, or if it is something I would be interested in, but I am drawing a blank!!

Score one for wikipedia!!!! I really should look there more often (Get hooked on Google a bit too much I guess)!!! Thanks for the heads up....I'll think about it!!

Re: [UPDATED 12/10/08]This iPhone App = This WinMo App
 

I'd definitely check it out on the desktop first just to get the full experience. Once ur hooked nothing else will suffice.

+1 for the gentleman on the right

Re: [UPDATED 12/9/08]This iPhone App = This WinMo App
 

I've tried this app on my Touch and it crashes continuously... never was able to get it to work... First it had an error looking for a log file so I created one and then it would load... But once I tried to add resorts it would crash again...

Anyone else have this problem??

Re: [UPDATED 12/10/08]This iPhone App = This WinMo App
 

yep.. zumobi doesn't work on my touch either.. anyone have suggestions for a fix?

Re: [UPDATED 12/10/08]This iPhone App = This WinMo App
 

I got ti to work moderately well on my 800w. It didn't look gorgeous by any means but it worked. Just a bit slow.

Re: [UPDATED 12/10/08]This iPhone App = This WinMo App
 

does it list north carolina resorts? going there in a month and would like to track snow conditions to see which i want to go to.... that's all i'm interested in, so if it doesn't i really want to avoid installing.. any insight from people who have it would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Re: [UPDATED 12/10/08]This iPhone App = This WinMo App
 

I'm not sure. I only installed it for testing purposes. After several hard resets I never reinstalled. I just don't need that app, plus its a little buggy.

Pretty cool iphone app...I want this for the Touch Pro.

Check it out, "sounds" pretty cool to me...it would actually be pretty cool if they could port this over to the pro

Program like the Iphone?
 

Looking for a program like the one the iphone has to select a restraunt at random for you based on how much you wanna spend and what area you are in and what type of food?

Re: Program like the Iphone?
 

sounds dope... dont know if there is one for WM though... i'm listening to see if anyone else may know...

Re: Program like the Iphone?
 

the name on the iphone is Urbanspoon

i phone hating is always a good thing right? lol

Re: Program like the Iphone?
 

there's a thread just for the purpose of asking for the windows mobile equivalent of an iphone app.

Re: [UPDATED 12/10/08]This iPhone App = This WinMo App
 

we need a real equivalent to urbanspoon

Re: Program like the Iphone?
 

yeah i have now posted there thanks for pointing me to the right places doesnt seem anyone has an answer yet because windows live is not the equivalent

Re: Program like the Iphone?
 

agreed

Re: [UPDATED 12/10/08]This iPhone App = This WinMo App
 

I agree. Unfortunately I've not been able to find anything better than LiveSearch.

Just a note, when I look for programs for Windows Mobile I'm just looking for the same content/functionality, not the user interface of the app.

Re: [UPDATED 12/10/08]This iPhone App = This WinMo App
 

I've searched for something like this for WM and nothing like it. It's called AeroWeather for iphone. It's a simple app for finding airport weather. (metars, taf's, etc.) It's free for the iphone, anything close for WM is like $60 or more.

Re: [UPDATED 12/10/08]This iPhone App = This WinMo App
 

I haven't tried any of these because I have absolutely no idea what exactly you're looking for or how to even use the data it gives you. But they seem to be similar. Let me know if I'm close or totally off.

thanks for merging these threads coz! it's a great one!

Re: [UPDATED 12/10/08]This iPhone App = This WinMo App
 

Thanks for looking, I've seen all of these before and I'll probably end up with one. It looks like the wxsys requires a subscription and I'll probably take a closer look at cupitt. There are others that are out there, that include airport diagrams and much more but are way too expensive. I like the aeroweather app because it's simple and free. Cupitt will work, but you have to check multiple boxes to weed out the data you want vs. what you don't want. I just flew with a guy who had this and it was nice because it was simple. Enter the airport id and hit ok. Drives me crazy that the iphone has several free apps that do exactly what I want, but I've been searching like crazy for aviation related wm apps and the ones i like cost $150 or more.

Speaking of which...I found another app that cool. Skywatch planetarium. You can get a gps fix on your location, get a fix on one point, then use the accelerometer to point at whatever object you want. Only $9.99.. Is there anything like it on wm? I've done a brief search, but not much.

Re: [UPDATED 1/21/09]This iPhone App = This WinMo App
 

sorry about that dlink72. the problem with windows mobile app is that there's never been a system like apple has especially with all the hype around it. and once the precedence was kinda set at $.99 or free everyone just followed suite. unfortunately for us (winmo users) thats never been the case. developers have just treated windows mobile like windows for pc, and priced their apps the say way.

Re: [UPDATED 1/21/09]This iPhone App = This WinMo App
 

That's what I figured. Don't get me wrong, I like certain things about the iphone, but it's one device. wm phones just keep getting better. Sooner or later microsoft will catch on and make an operating system to win back everyone drinking the apple flavored coolaid.

Re: [UPDATED 1/21/09]This iPhone App = This WinMo App
 

Here is my List:

CISCOVPN on Iphone is Free. Paid for the phone itself.
Someone help me get this on my HTC Touch Pro. The ones I found don't work with WM6.1 and cost $$$$$

A few that I like:

XBMC Remote
Pandora (doesn't work on my phone). Works on my Axim but it is garbled up.
Slacker

These are web enable apps and sure you can duplicate some of the functionality but the ease of use on the Iphone rocks:
Flixster
TWC (The Weather Channel)
ABC News
i.TV
UrbanSpoon
AOL Radio

For example, Flixster will find my cinemas close to me by GPS, I can watch trailers and buy tickets in one application. no need to click on this or click out of this.
In WinMo, you have to use several apps just to get this.

The Weather Channel app is cool because the interface allows a quick link to your local TV weather report and I can watch it with one click within the app.
Same for ABC News. It links to my local ABC affiliate based on GPS and I can watch local ABC news. Again, all in their app's local space/domain.


The point is the "breadth-of-useability" is there with the iphone. The sheer level of convenience is incredible.
I've been using WinMo since 1996 when it was called Pegasus. Velo 1 owner, Sharp Mobilion owner. IBM z50, Axim x51v, Ipaq, HP Jornada owner.
In the short 2 years the iphone has been out, the eco-system support for it is unparallel.

There are some cool accelerometer games and their price is good to, Motochaser was like $2.

Re: Pretty cool iphone app...I want this for the Touch Pro.
 

What an amazing program. I am in complete agreement with you ducy, and hopefully it can be created for us winmo users. Nice find!

Re: Pretty cool iphone app...I want this for the Touch Pro.
 

Damn, I give up I can't fight it anymore. I'm getting an Iphone. That's so not fair!!!

Re: Pretty cool iphone app...I want this for the Touch Pro.
 

The TP screen is not capable of running that app.

Re: Pretty cool iphone app...I want this for the Touch Pro.
 

yea i hate to say it but will never see this on our wm phones because our screens dont support multi touch sorry guys

Re: This iPhone App = This WinMo App
 

This is an honest question: can't PdaNet do this for the iPhone (jailbroken) now?

I find myself on the fence too, especially if DataViz releases an iPhone version for DocsToGo.

How about this one
 

I know I know, everybody is sick of hearing "iphone app this and iphone app that." I try to refrain as much as possible from comparing phones but I do have a question about the possibility of creating this application.

There are a couple phone tracking applications so I know this should be possible.

On the iphone there is an app called PI. What it does : If your phone is ever stolen and someone is messing around with your applications and clicks on this application it automaticall generates an email and sends it to your email address you have selected in the settings. It shows exact latitude and longitude of your phone when the email was generated and shows it on a google map pinpointed. Basically, it would act like a secondary buffer for phone tracking and personally I would love this application.

Anybody else agree or am I just out of my mind?
