VITO Soundexplorer v 1.8 released

VITO Technology is glad to announce a new version of VITO SoundExplorer – the best-selling audio player and recorder that lets you explore the music world on your Pocket PC to the full! VITO SoundExplorer v 1.8 features a new skin for portrait mode, some additional playback and recording features as well as joystick support.

Long-awaited new skin for portrait mode has been created to match the old bubble skin that was supported only in landscape mode: now there’re two full skins for portrait and landscape modes. In addition now you can also choose between two Today plug-ins.

New playback options include shuffle and the ability to play bookmarked parts of files. So, now you can bookmark important parts of a music file and listen to the selection separately (also repeatedly if you wish). As for recording part of the applet you can choose to include time and date of recording in filenames. Creating playlists has also been very simplified: new playlist automatically includes all selected files.

New version of SoundExplorer supports joystick: no need to pull out your joystick every time you want to choose another song, rewind or fast forward, change volume. Volume is always saved now after you close the program. Among some minor fixed bugs there is correct displaying of VAS and Input level while recording.

VITO Technology ltd. is known for its high-tech products in the field of Pocket PC and Symbian software, GPS navigation and custom projects. Introduced in the present article VITO SoundExplorer is an audio player and audio recorder for Pocket PC that offers the most comprehensive and modern set of tools for professional and hobby use.

Eten Glofiish M700

PDA247 have found some photos and information about the new E-TEN Glofiish M700.

“Another Windows Mobile device by Eten has shown up, this time challenging the HTC Tytn in form factor and design. The Etem M700 features a Samsung 400 MHz Cpu, 128 MB ROM/64 MB Ram, Quadband GSM GPRS/Edge, Bluetooth 2.0 Wifi B/G, 2 Mp camera, Micro SD. It unfortuanately lacks 3G connectivity, which still marks it out as an older generation device, but hopefully the attractive design will make up for some of the ground lost.”

Now this looks like an amazing device!

Take a look at PDA247.

i-mate PDA L surfaces

Our friends over at MSMobileNews have just found some information about the new i-mate PDA L device. This is basically a mid-level PocketPC Phone Edition device with fairly slow CPU and said to be thinner and lighter than the i-mate Jam. It’s just one of the growing range of non-HTC devices to be distributed by i-mate.

E-TEN Glofiish X500 review

One of the first reviews of the E-TEN Glofiish X500 GPS PPC Phone has appeared on PPC Singapore.

Note: it’s Glofiish not Glofish – this fish has two i’s!

The E-TEN Glofiish X500 Pocket Phone has built-in GPS. The device also features a slim and light design (just 15.5mm thick), sensitive GPS receiver and FM radio, but lacks 3G connectivity. However it does have AKU3.2.

The reviewer seems to be impressed with the device, especially with its speed. However, he notes the lack of dedicated Start and OK buttons, which impedes one-handed usability.

Take a look at the full review on PPC Singapore.

Capture and Print an entire website

The other day, while I was looking for some screen capture software for PocketPC, I came across a product that can capture and print an entire web page. This is something that has bugged me for years and I wondered why no one had come up with a way to print a webpage exactly as you see it on the screen.

WebCollect installs as a toolbar within Internet Explorer and offers a number of capture/print options.

In their word: “WebCollect allows you to capture various pieces of a web page – from a custom selection to the entire page”.

WebCollect will also grab an entire site including the areas that you would normally have to scroll to see. Other options include capturing a the current screen, a rectangle selection and magnifying certain areas of the page.

Once you press the capture button the page is opened up in the WebCollect window where you can choose to either print the page or save it as an image file.

This tool is extremely useful if you work with the internet a lot!

It seems to be free of spyware and adware and is worth having a go. The only draw back I can see is that it only works with Internet Explorer Versions 5 and 6.

HTC P3300 Review

Paul at MoDaCo has been a busy boy this week and has just released his review of the HTC P3300.

HTC P3300 Specification:

This is one of the first HTC Artemis reviews that we have seen. It would appear that Paul isn’t a fan of the device.

“Your experience with the P3300 will almost certainly hinge on how you feel about the RollR. I would find it very hard to recommend the purchase of a P3300 without trying it first, particularly for those who are already Pocket PC power users, who may find it just holds them up too much.”

I would have to agree with Paul’s comments. Tracy and I tried the HTC P3300 out for a while last week and although we initially liked playing with the RollR it soon bacame more annoying than useful!
