Apr 5th
Anyone hear of the REDFLY? It’s the mobile netbook-like device that lets you connect your Windows Mobile phone and have access to a huge screen, mouse pad, and full keyboard. Trouble is, the REDFLY costs $200-$300, and not many people see enough utility in the REDFLY to warrant spending that kind of money.
Good news though – Celio (maker of the REDFLY) has come out with a free emulation tool (that expires in 60 days) that lets you use your Shadow on your computer, meaning, you can use your keyboard, mouse, plus scale the display up to an insane 800×600. This really makes emailing and texting a breeze.
To get started, click onto the Celio website. Grab both the Mobile Viewer (for your computer) and the Phone Drivers for Windows Mobile 6 non-Touchscreen devices. Then, install the CAB on your Shadow, run the EXE on your computer. If you want to see a video of it in action, hit the jump. More >

Apr 1st
The future is here, NOW! Perhaps you’ve read the reports on wireless energy transfer and wondered how long it would be before you could take advantage of this. Well today is the day. Anton Tomov has developed a super secret app that the battery and charger manufacturers don’t want you to know about. You can charge your phone via wifi. Similar to an RFID, this app enables your wifi antenna on your phone to transmogrify the power in the signals into usable power for your phone. You don’t need a charger anymore!
Hurry up and get it before the authorities have it pulled down! Get it here. There is a version for both touchscreen and non-touchscreen (Sorry Android)
Thanks ND4SPD and XDA
