Next release

What's the status of the next release? It sure would be nice to sync with Vista.

Hi there,

Great question. I wish I had a definitive answer. We were working on the Pocket PC version getting done first, and then the Windows Mobile Standard (ie Smartphone) version next. I ran into a device issue with the Pocket PC last week and while I wait for a hardware replacement I am now moved over to this version (that you're asking about). So depending on how far I get, this one may beat the Windows Mobile Professional/Classic one to release. I'll let you know when it's close, but there are still a number of issues being worked on.

Hi Dave,

Any news on the update for Windows Mobile Standard?

Hi Dave,

Any news on the update for Windows Mobile Standard?

Hi,

Thanks for checking in- actually just last week we released the Windows Mobile Classic/Professional update as a development version. So the plan is this week to work on finishing up the Windows Mobile Standard installers. That said, there seems to be a few issues with version we posted, so I have to attend to that, and then I'll get started on the Windows Mobile Standard files. Hopefully by the end of this week or early next week we'll be in a position to have a development version available for WMS!

Hi Bob,

Still planning on having this by the end of this month. Stay tuned and thanks for your patience!

Dave,

Are we getting close?

We are, if you saw in the newsletter, we had some Vista issues with our Development versions on the Windows Mobile Classic/Pro builds. We released an update to that just last week and we're waiting to get it right there before we replicate on this platform!

I am thinking that I am going to change platforms. There seems to be more promise in the iPod line than the windows line. However, I would like to know if you guys are continuing to support the windows platform in the future. It looks like this thread is a bit outdated.

Hi Marty,

Thanks for writing. I would say that the platform has been phased out by Microsoft. They have their new Windows Phone 7 platform and have really abandoned this quickly as did most customers. Unfortunately for Microsoft they don't seem to be moving to the Windows Phone 7 devices, but to other brands entirely like iPhones/iPod touch/Android/etc.

At present we continue to offer support for these platforms, but active development has definitely winded down substantially. I think a move to a different platform would be a smart one in the long run based on the above!
