Thats very interesting. I'll do some searching and see what I can find.

This isn't a thread for finding pretty looking software. Its meant to find software for Windows Mobile phones that functions similarly to an app on the iPhone.

i know that there is one called Fake Call for winmo, but it hardly compares, its buggy and it doesn't even integrate into the phone interface.. i mentioned the tf3d bit because i think for it to be comparable to the iphone version of this app, it needs to at least be capable of integrating itself graphically as well... like the iphone.

i had just figured this app was known well enough that linking would be futile... but regardless, sorry, i should have provided more information.

but anyways... any ideas?

I didn't realize it was an app on the iPhone.

I've used this app on my device and haven't noticed any problems with it. It hasn't been buggy at all for me and I think it integrates just fine into the os. And whats wrong with the style of Fake Call, I think it follows the WinMo theme prefect.

The reason it doesn't integrate well with tf3d is because tf3d isn't the standard visual theme for Windows Mobile. Its a 3rd party skin on top of Windows Mobile created by HTC, so how could an app default into the tf3d style? What if someone was running a skin using SPB Shell? Do you expect Fake Call to integrate into the same style as that too? The iPhone was designed to be beautiful and only has one theme, so the fake call app can be designed with that in mind.

Sorry, I don't follow all the apps on the iPhone. Providing links is just easier for everyone so they know exactly what you're talking about.

link to aroundme iphone app http://www.tweakersoft.com/mobile/aroundme.html

I checked out AroundMe briefly and I think Windows Live Search pretty much does the same thing. Check out wls.live.com in IE6 on your phone browser.

Man, the beauty and ease of use of some of these apps kinda makes me want to get an iPhone, well, err, maybe an iPod Touch. I can't give up my awesome Sprint plan to switch to at&t.

There might be a good reader app like Stanza but there's not really a WinMo device that will make the experience as enjoyable (if you can call reading on these small devices enjoyable) as on the iPhone's large screen.

The closest thing to the Bloomberg app I could find is the Bloomberg AvantGo Channel or some other similar RSS feed.

Unfortunately Pandora hasn't been developed, well, released, for Windows Mobile yet.
