1. Opera Mobile 9.5 announced!

The most powerful and standards-compliant Web browser for Windows Mobile has, finally, been updated! See THIS (http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/en/2008/02/05/) for the press release; THIS (http://www.modaco.com/content/Windows-Mobile-News/265025/Opera-Mobile-9-5-previewed/), THIS (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=449272), THIS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365827), THIS (http://forums.thoughtsmedia.com/showthread.php?t=32243), THIS (http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1322425) and THIS (http://justanothermobilemonday.com/Wordpress/2008/02/05/opera-mobile-95-unleashed-sort-of-almost/) for user discussions.

(BTW, in my last, SkyFire-related news item (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=2443&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1), I’ve forgotten to link to the related HoFo thread (http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1318157). Now it’s done.)

2. SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 announced!

A lot of you may have been eagerly waiting for this upgrade. See for example THIS (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=449242) for more info.

3. The famous Sprite Software is proud to present Sprite Archie (http://www.spritesoftware.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=201) to backup / search / evaluate your call logs/ SMS messages. While there’re some tools (most notably, the free (!) PIM Backup and SKTools) that are able to backup your stuff (see the tutorial I’ve written on this HERE (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=2098&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1)), Sprite Archie seems to take this a bit further.

See for example THIS (http://justanothermobilemonday.com/Wordpress/2008/02/04/sprite-archie-never-lose-an-sms-again/) for more info.

Also note that, for a limited time, get $5 off the $14.95 regular price by using coupon code SAFEB085.

4. Finally, some self-promotion again: I’ve collected the year 2007 online (!) frontpages of my articles, Bibles etc. HERE (http://www.winmobiletech.com/FrontpagedArticlesIn2007.html).
