New work on PointUI Home2

About a month back, PointUI finally announced their release of Home2 software, a Windows Mobile shell application that replaces the boring but functional Today screen. It was impressive to say the least, in terms of its performance and potential. However, the lack of applets means it’s all show and nothing beyond  in terms of making the phone device more productive.

That said, within weeks, there are  more and more third party developers began to create and release new applets to complete the usability of the shell program. Clock,  Messaging, Weather, Stock Ticker, Task, Appointment, etc are just some of the applets released by the developer community. Yours truly, shamelessly join in the bandwagon, and created a calendar and appointment applet, which can be found here

Miracles do happen

two weeks ago, my tablet pc went bonkers. first my smart card reader couldn’t read my smart card. Then my mouse touchpad and trackpad, stopped working right after that. then my tablet runs excessively hot, as if the fan has stopped working. It was so hot that I bet I can fry an egg on it, but I reckon it’ll be messy after that.

fast forward, two weeks later, i.e. now, suddenly my mouse touch/track pad is working, on its own, without me interventing (in fact, I tried to re-install drivers earlier on but no avail).

The cpus are also working less hot now, so much cooler that I can hold the laptop with my hand without being scalded ;-)

Miracles do happen, and I hope more will come over the next few weeks 8-)
