PDAmill GameBox Sudoku
I suspect I may be one of the few people on this planet who has not played Sudoku. So, l looked at the announcement of…
(US$14.95)…for the Pocket PC (Classic or Professional Edition in Windows Mobile 6 lingo) with more than passing interest. I installed it on my Windows Mobile 6 Pocket PC to see if it would run on WM6. And, yep, it installed and started up mostly fine. It needed 6MB of free RAM for game play. So, I performed a soft reset (quicker than shutting down individual apps) to free up RAM. Then, I started up the game again and read through the instructions.
There are three board/grid sizes (4×4, 9×9, and 16×16) and three game play levels (Easy, Normal, and Hard). I can see why Sudoku was such a craze for while (Is it still? I’m not sure). I have no idea how easy or hard Sudoku experts would view GameBox Sudoku. But, I can see how it might drain more than a few hours of my time if I let it

Ilium’s 10th Anniversary: Good Time to Get eWallet
Sorry this post’s title sounds so much like an advertisement. But, you may have seen me mention their eWallet product (which I’ve used since version 1.0 on an HP 320LX Handheld PC) and rave about it here.
So, if you’ve been thinking about getting Ilium Software’s eWallet (stores sensitive info in an encrypted file), their 10th anniversary celebration week would be a good time. Ilium has it on sale for $10 (regular $29.95) for the Professional Edition on their anniversary page:
Ilium Software 10th Anniversary
You can also read a bit more about their annivesary on their blog.
I moved eWallet and NewsBreak when I migrated from my SDA smartphone to a Dash smartphone which was also a move from Windows Mobile 5 to 6. Both apps to seem to run ok though I’ve noticed a long pause in NewsBreak (RSS reader) that I didn’t see on the SDA WM5 smartphone. I’m trying to collect more details about this and will report the info to Ilium once I can see some pattern.

Sample Video from T-Mobile Dash Smartphone
I’m still putting the T-Mobile Dash with Windows Mobile 6 through its paces. If you click on the tiny preview screencap above, you’ll see a transcoded version of a short video I recorded using the Dash smartphone today. I recorded to AVI (Motion Picture JPEG) format which records frames at 176×144 pixels. You probably don’t want to record a feature length movie in this format. But, it does a decent job of recording video given its inherent limitations. And, if you are not carrying any other video recording device, it is better than nothing!

Pocket Sharp MT: No Go on a Windows Mobile 6 PDA
I just tried Pocket Sharp MT 3.3 on a Pocket PC running Windows Mobile 6. It installs and starts up without any problem. However, it crashes immediately after I press the Refresh button after entering the information to post to this blog. I’ll try the Smartphone version on the Dash later to see if I have better luck with that platform.
