LOL. I am in the same boat. I can't stand ATT. But I have found the best of both worlds. I use wmwifirouter to create a wifi hotspot and all 3 of the apps work perfectly on my ipod touch. That is something that no iphone can do.

I found a Pandora app that was written for windows mobile over at everythingq.com forums.

I installed it on my diamond and it works. A few quirks I've noticed so far:
1) Obviously not made for a VGA device, but I'm sure some of you might fare better than I. The text is waaay too small. I HAD to use my stylus.
2) To enter in your email and password, I exited out of the program, went back to the programs screen, activated the keyboard, and then opened the Pandora app.
3) For some reason, it does not show up in my task manager. I hope its just mine - it can be a b**** to exit out of (again - HAD TO USE THE STYLUS).
4) So far - it appears that my phone needs to stay awake in order to maintain a stream.

I'm hoping everyone here can figure out ways or registry hacks to get around these limitations, but the app itself is pretty sweet. Audio quality is pretty good too

Yeah, I know Pandora released an app for WinMo phones on at&t. As far as I knew you couldn't install it on other phones but I think the fine folks at xda are working on that. I'll do some more research before I update the first post with it.

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.

Hello Friends.
I'm saying is that I don't think they can program the app to adapt and change itself to whatever theme or interface is on top of WM. Besides, if you need that app to get out of a certain situation it'll work and I doubt anyone will notice its a fake call simply because of the interface, unless they have a Touch Diamond/Pro too and are looking directly at your device.

Equivalent for Sportacular?

I searched this thread as well as the internet and haven't found anything that looks close to the iPhone application "Sportacular"

Description:
Sportacular provides you with fast, up to the minute access to scores,standings, stats and news for most major sports.

Please post if you've found anything similar to this app.

Thanks

Heh, is that AvantGo channel really a viable WinMo alternative? Does anyone even use AvantGo anymore?

It looks ok. I haven't used it so I can't say. But, thats the only decent solution I could find. If someone finds something better I'll change it.

If you're talking about the ability to shake your phone and have it randomly pick a place, I don't think there's anything out there for that. But if you just want an app that'll hook you up with a place to eat I'm sure I can find something.
