La Tecnología, Mi Gran Afición: Review del SPB Mobile Shell 2 — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 15:25:23 +0000

[...] Hace unos cuantos meses, probé una aplicación de nombre SPB Mobile Shell, incluso escribí un par de entradas, esta y esta, hablando de él. Por si no se han enterado, SPB Software House, ha lanzado la versión 2 de este software que viene siendo un Launcher, tal y como los que conocemos para PalmOS... Con las mismas palabras de SPB Software House, se trata de una aplicación que "Revoluciona la interfaz gráfica del equipo".Como lo había comentado con anterioridad, a mi no me sirvió, debido a los problemas que me causó, pero así mismo, hay personas que les gusta mucho...Y para aquellos que no están seguros de instalarla, Gear Dairy, ha transcrito un concienzudo review de la nueva versión, hecho por Just another Mobile Monday. En dicho review hablan de todos y cada uno de los aspectos de la aplicación, pero lo que merece la pena resaltar son las conclusiones:Dicen que, no importando como utilices tu dispositivo con Windows Mobile, esta aplicación hará al equipo mucho más rápido y más fácil de usar. También afirman que no hay ningún programa que de la facilidad de acceso, facilidad de uso y control, como lo da SPB Mobile Shell. Hasta dicen que, una vez usando el programa "nunca se verá a Windows Mobile de la misma manera".Lo dicho, al menos para mi, resultó ser un programa díficil de utilizar, ralentizó el Treo 750 y no le veo mayores beneficios, pero para todos aquellos que les gusta, les dejo el enlace al review.Review: SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 - Never Look At Windows Mobile The Same Way Again [...]

Hmm. Strange. Try uninstalling and reinstalling (and maybe even redownloading.

If you want, email me with more specifics and I will see if I can help. Or, check out the Mobile Shell forum at http://www.spbclub.com.

“The short answer (without more info) is that you should be able to turn on your device and tap away.”

That’s what I figured. And it does this whether the device is locked or not.

Chris. This is strange behavior. Without knowing more, I wonder if you had a bad install or if your device is locked when you turn it on. There are many elements of the Now Screen which are tappable and expand to provide you with additional information.

The short answer (without more info) is that you should be able to turn on your device and tap away.

With v1.x, I could turn on my device, tap any item on the Now screen and be taken to that item. With v2, I get a non-tappable screen. Is this by design?

Chris, it will work on all WM Pocket PC devices; while it will work on non-converged devices, it truly shines when put on a PDA phone.

Is it actually geared toward all PocketPC devices or only WM Smartphone devices? Will it really be functional on a non-converged device?

((guilty secret)) – I really liked Milli Vanilli, and probably still know most of their words to their songs.

Thanks for the awesome review Doug – Mobile Shell is one of my “must load first” applications for every Pocket PC.

Thanks, Kismet. I was wondering if anyone would pick up on my reference to one of the greatest 1980′s era rock and roll scandels.

Great review!

Loved the line “Blame it on the rain, if you want to.”
