No, I haven’t disappeared or abandoned the PocketPC community as some conspiracy theorists have suggested. I’ve just been really really busy lately…
(1) I know that the kitchen isn’t working with the latest release of BuildOS. This is next on my list to take care of; realize it isn’t working for me yet either.
(2) I’ve been experimenting with new UI interfaces, the latest engine and API I’ve developed aims on blending in with Manila. You can see it in the new beta of nueLight3, which aims to replicate the look and feel of the HTC CommManager – It supports both orientations and uses the same style resources as the HTC comm manager, allowing easy porting of existing skins – it now also has the advantage of being able to use the same resources under multiple resolutions (automatic stretching). Hopefully this allows Windows Mobile to be a little more attractive in the future…. you can download a preview version here (note only the CAB is available right now). As usual, please avoid direct linking and mirroring. It uses the HTCCamera1.dll interface now, so it should be compatible with all HTC devices with flash. In addition, the morse code transmit rates are now calculated automatically based on desired WPM, using the (dit_time = 1200/WPM) “PARIS” method. Note this is a beta so there may be some bugs – i.e. high beam is intermittent sometimes..

(3) I was approached about VoIP on CDMA devices about two-three months ago, I’ve discovered the reason VoIP Canvas doesn’t work is that it requires a SIM card, apparently GSM providers didn’t want people to use their subsidized phones as cheap VoIP phones. Only problem for CDMA users is the lack of SIM cards. I’ve been able to get the today screen working, but I haven’t got the VoIP dialer to work, I’m working on it though…
