MDA with Windows Mobile 6


Wooohooo my MDA now has Windows Mobile 6 installed!!! Go here to do it yourself (not for the faint of heart). The (for me) best thing about it is power management. My F'n battery would die within 6 hours w/o any real usage and would never sit overnight without completely draining the battery.

Now, it's great. I left my MDA unplugged (with a 100% charge) ALL NIGHT and still had 78% battery power left in the morning. It could never do that before.

After following all of the instructions, in addition to the battery life, you get cool applications like Pocket Screen Capture which I used for the above image.

Under the settings --> system tab, there is an application that is called "X-button" that you can use to actually shut down the apps you are using, by tapping on the "x" button (or tap and hold down, depending on your settins).

Another application I fell in love with is the Audio Manager. It is just a very cool interface for playing your music on you MDA. The interface reminds me of the Zen Vision M player. In addition to letting you find and listen to you music easier and faster, you can hold your stylus down on a song and open the context menu and then choose the song as your ring tone... SWEET!

Anyway, if you are brave enough, follow the instructions METICULOUSLY and you too will be wowed by Windows Mobile 6.
