Profile switch app for phone, wifi, bluetooth and data connections
This is a little app for Windows Mobile phones that stores up to 10 different settings for Phone, WiFi, Bluotooth, Data-Connections, vibrate, silent, eg. and create shortcuts to switch directly. The complete profile will be changed only with one click.
You will find two links in the startmenu folder:
- Profile Switch – the application
- Close Data – a little helper, shut down existing data connection without any visible window. It does not prevent new connections are established (the same funktion like “Close all connections” in the app.
Enabled network connections in the settings menu (‘Do not switch networks’ ) does not change this when turning on and off the data connections while choosing a saved profile.
You can edit the language files in the program folder and/or create an new one. For a new translation just copy the ‘english.lng’ to ‘french.lng, spain.lng …’. But edit/translate only everything after the ‘=’, not on the left side of the ‘=’! Save the file in unicode-format.

Hexapod robot controlled by Android OS and iPhone
This video is a blatant example of having too many high-end toys but we love it anyway. Robert Stephenson is controlling a rather awesome-looking hexapod via a Bluetooth connection to his HTC Hero. The app allows on-screen selections to decide which portion of the robot will move as a result of accelerometer data from the handheld. The only thing we saw that was missing is a camera feed to the phone. But this hack doesn’t stop there. The Hero can be used to host a WiFi network while still connected to the hexapod. The second half of the video shows an iPod Touch connecting via WiFi and controlling the bot. Now head on over to the laser cutter to start that hexapod build, and finish up by getting elbow-deep into some Android development.

Iphone, Android and Blackberry best games
Among the various communication gadgets available in the market, the iphone 4 takes the pride of place. The main feature available in this device is the multi-tasking facility, where one has the option of switching between apps without slowing down the speed of the app in the background. This iphone also allows one the option of switching to recently used apps from where they were left last. The multi-tasking facility on the iphone also allows one to receive skype or VoIP calls even when the iphone is locked. One can keep the conversation going even while watching TV or listening to music.
The blackberry offers hundreds of games many of which can be downloaded free from the net. Among some of the popular games is the “Fear of the dark,” a game which revolves around the story of a captive princess held by an army of dark creatures. The player as the prince must rescue the princess. The game involves avoiding various traps and killing all the monsters.
Another interesting blackberry games is Tomcat Dogfight which allows one to use machine guns and rockets. The idea is to shoot down as many enemy planes possible from the sky to move on to the next level. As the player plays the game it is advisable to look back at enemy planes that may be at the back. The Entity is an action based game with 25 levels. In this game, the player guides the alien which will enable it to change its shape and behavior. This game is considered slightly difficult and the idea would be to keep at it for one to improve.
Another important facility that the iphone provides is the GPS. This facility in the iphone keeps constantly updating one’s position even as other as other activities are on. It also provides voice turn by turn directions even as one continues to listen to music. When the directions are spoken, the music volume automatically lowers. The iphone therefore allows two people to know each other’s location even though they are not using the app actively.
Blackberry also allows one to load games like aces Solitaire which includes games such as free cell pyramid , Yukon and canfield. Another interesting game is par 72 golf which is a realistic 3-d golf game for blackberry users where one can compete on 18 holes. One of the famous card game is the UNO. For those who would like to improve on geography skills there are the smart educational games that are a pack of software games that introduce one to states, counties and capital cities. This game is the sign for kids as well as the grown-ups. The game can be changed by the press of a simple button.
The iphone allows one to do high definition video recording that can be edited with standing high definition. The iphone also has a provision to convert many of the small clips that may be taken during a vacation and using the iMovie app can be converted into a finished movie.
Android 2.3 is the next phone generation with lots of new application and games to compare with blackberry and iphone, so will iphone have the best iphone apps and the best iphone games? Or blackberry and Android can compare with the iPhone?

WinAuth is an open-source Windows version of the Battle.net Authenticator, similar to the Mobile Authenticators for iPhone and Android that are used to secure World of Warcraft and Starcraft accounts.
WinAuth uses the same algorithm as the Mobile Authenticator for Android, and so generates the same codes when using the same serial number and secret key. One of the reasons to write it was to remove the dependency on having the phone available, but still use the same codes. However, to you must be able to extract the key from the phone to be able to run it as a duplicate. You can only run winauth as a backup to a rooted (hacked) Android phone, as you need to be able to read the Mobile Authenticator’s private keys. You cannot read the private keys from non-rooted Android phones nor from iPhones.
Features:
- Register a new Authenticator for US or EU
- Load/save/create multiple authenticators, saved with encryption
- Load copy of your Android Mobile Authenticator
- Displays code as bitmap making it harder to be read by malicious apps
- Auto/manual time-sync with Battle.net servers
- Auto-refresh code showing code’s valid duration or manual operation by pressing button
- Always on top option
- Optional auto “copy to clipboard” on code generation
- Show/hide serial number
- Auto type directly into code field on hitting a single system-wide hotkey
- Send backups of authenticator data to your email
