HI,
realise the pocket pc software are quite expensive... Anyone want to share their license copy, games, utility etc. I guess all can benefit right?... Rather we all purchase on our own.
Or may be we can all chip in to buy.... We can use services like Paypal to remittance money to each other.
Me interested in the Age of Empires Gold Edition. Anyone got a full license one. Nyditot Virtual Display 3.01 ?...
Warezzzz
I'm just speaking for myself here...
I have no major moral objections against copying copyrighted software, but I can also see the point of software companies trying to make a buck. I even co-own a small software company that will be trying to make a buck soon. But please believe me when I say that this is not the reason I'm posting this message.
I would hate to see warez being traded on this system. I've seen what frequent warez trading does to the atmosphere of communities like ours. Before long, professional traders will post requests. People will offer to pay for stuff, warez ftp server addresses 'for-the-day' will be posted, etc. etc. etc.
There's plenty of good forums on Usenet that have plenty of (alt.binaries.)warez posted to them. They have much less good productive atmosphere to waste and they work well.
Omigosh...
Well I don't think warezing software is something terribly wrong (it's not a theft usually), but if somebody likes the software, he should buy it. However, nobody can expect a 18 year old czech student to spend 80 bucks for SSH client he uses once a week.
I think those who use software to make money (companies, managers etc...) should buy the software. Those who just "play" with software and install and deinstall applications 5 times a day can get a warez copy. But if I find a great piece of soft I want to keep (forever), I buy it.
(I don't buy software, I'm a poor student and the software fee doesn't repay itself).
And another thing... I would never trade software here - in public, in a tech forum with guest access...
If you can afford an XDA and the phone contracts that go with it, you can afford the software - most programs are only 10-15 USD. A few like AoE are more, and I can tell you worth the extra money.
Regards
Tim
Basically, i find it rather amusing the comments given. Anyway, my intention is not to spread the so called 'piracy'. The intention was to share files with your so called neighhours. If you think my sharing for example DVD - THe spider man to let the neighhour watch or use, then the whole world must be pracitising that, even your neighhouhood video store is spread 'piracy'. I mean people can always rent it and duplicate at their home right?......
Furthmore, forum is more less like a obtaining information, sharing etc. That's why I use the words like sharing. Wanna to charge those sharing information. If you think this kind actions is bad, I think this forum shall stop hacking the XDA stuff..
I got my new 02 XDA 64MB at US$500 only.... Spend so much $$$ on electronic stuff for what?........ Earniing money is not an easy task. and for you info only a few program is US$10/= Most are more that U$20/=. IF you get 10 how much will it be, and the money is only for 1 version. don;t forget the accessories thats comes with it. If you think u have extra $$$ to spend on this software. Share with it someone who is not as rich as u.
there is loads of free stuff out there if you want it a forum like this is brillant for info but there is a wide range of others out there
My two cents in what seems to become a long thread.
First to answer mac's orignal question. I can't help you (currently :lol: )
In response to XDA developer Peter Poelman's response I want to submit that in order to keep this forum alive we certainly don't need the professional traders.
As for software licensing. I have been/am on both sides. User and author. It's annoying if people just copy whatever they like, especially if they make a lot of money with it.
My justification so far has been. I use 'evaluation copies' for 2 or 3 weeks or so and if it is still in use I buy the software. Is it legal? Probably not? Is this wrong? Probably yes, but I can sleep at night.
We all invent 'our rules' for the world. If you want to be safe, stick with the rules. If not just be prepared to have your [email protected]# kicked every now and then.
Although I sympathise with the argument of being a student, etc etc, that doesn't justify it (nor do my own 'rules' do that). What would you charge someone with 5 children and being a single parent?
And most of the times there are alternatives. For instance in the windows space there is a lot of free software around and some of them are real jewels. If you are curious: www.nonags.com.
Industry responds with free software containing banners and adds, we all hate them, install cracks/patches to get rid of them. Wake up guys. They give it away for free and still we whine. (yes, I hate adds and banners to and I kill them whenever possible). I think we shouldn't whine about initiatives like Palladium if we copying everything we can get our hands on.
Overall my advise is: don't use THIS forum for conducting that behaviour and for the rest live and let live. In my opinion its a forum for undertanding the XDA and its technology. I don't even have one yet ( :evil: ) but I have learned a lot already. One could argue about some of the things tht could be done with the XDA (un-simlocking of accidently locked phones) but it's mainly discussing the device, software and accessoiries.
Being nosy is not a crime.
Having knowledge is not a crime.
But using knowledge could be a crime.
And even the first 2 can be a crime depending on where you live.
Pfffffffffft, I must be PMS'ing. Sorry people :wink:
Robert
I think games should be paid for....
but as far as tools etc goes I think it would be fair to follow the GPL...
You pay for what you make money with.
I'm a frequent visitor to alt.binaries....pocketpc and I've probaly downloaded 700mb or so in pocketpc warez since I bought my XDA...
I have an easynews account which archives newsgroup posts from the last 30 days.
That software I downloaded because I thought it looked interesting; not because it was there. Out of those god knows how many programs I have 12 programs that I keep on my xda at all times... these I have registered:
Battery Pack 2003 <<< really good
Resco Explorer 2003
Lextionary <<< prolly the best dictionary tool
Snails
Marble Worlds
Diamond Mine <<< addictive as hell
Speedball 2 << we love the Amiga !!
Pocket C64 <speaks for itself>
Dockware
Small menu <<< damn good btw
Rhinostats
Truefax
The others I played with for a while and then dumped because they were errr CRAP ? or there were other better alternatives (atleast in the power monitoring area)
Diamond mine I downloaded months ago... and only registered yesterday.
I dont believe in buying stuff I dont need.. and downloading them gives me more time to decide whither I'm going to keep it... or fire it onto a DVDRW and forget about it after a month.
I also have a wares copy of Autocad Studio Max 5 on my computer... $5k to buy in the shops...
most people dont learn this program at Uni (atleast the good ones anyways). Most of them pick up a copy when they are in their early teens and continue to learn with it till they master the techniques. After doing so they go to Uni and get the bit of paper... later on they get a job with a company which has bought a license to the application.
Autocad arent missing out on my license... I'd have never considering paying the $5,000 in the first place.
Some people say that 3D Animation is a craft. I've known people who have been 'learning' it for the past 7 years. Where would Autocad get its budding new business licenses if the 3D warez market dried up and only the large software houses could afford them?
Games are different, you cant make money from them.
I bought StarScape the other day for the PC.
http://www.moonpod.com/English/about_ss.php
download the demo and give it a go
I normaly run games in 1600x1200 or above... but the fact this runs in 640x480 makes no difference.
You might also want to check this site out for some more quality game play... and best of all they are free 8)

games from the era of when gaming had gameplay, hand drawn graphics and not just a billion polygons fired at it.
Strange comment from a 3D artist.
software
hi mac
try bear share there is loads of software on there i dont think we should trade games on here i used to use another site for my nokia communicator and it started to trade software and now it gives very little free and has turned into a business venture about selling software and not the product which it was originally meant to help promote amongst fellow users
Well, we'll be relasing a game soon aswell and i would like to think that if people download the demo and they are happy with it, that they would then go on to buy the full version. Its not like the average pocket pc game costs a fortune.
The way I look at it is if people dont buy software, people will stop writing it, I have purchased many games/apps, and am glad i supported the writers of such software. As a result newer and better versions are released, i prime example is Battery Bar along with Journal Bar, fantastic bit of software.

Online Full Sail Mobile Development Bachelors
WOW!
I might be happy doing this for myself, what are the pays, anyone know yet? I don't mean greediness, but I'm also loving it.
Interesting. I teach at fullsail and was unware of such a program. If anyone is interested in it let me know and If there are any questions about the program that you can't have answered let me know, and I will see if I can find anything.
--Shadd
Edit: Yea that came off as a sales pitch and thats not the case. If I can be of any help I would be more then happy to, but I will also give you my personal opinion

Very nice. I will probably take the online courses for Mobile Development next year.
As an alumni of EBBS I'm quite happy to see Full Sail to offer more courses focused for this market!
My buddy went to Full Sail for Show Production and Touring. i went down several times to visit him. the Full Sail staff is awesome. everybody was just cool and easy to get along with. good to see they're branching out into mobile development!
For any of those who end up deciding to enroll, here is something that might end up being useful...
[APP] Full Sail Online Mobile
@alekosy
did you enroll & grad? how is it?
i was thinking about going here for Audio Production/engineering..but thats too far from my home state
i think i'm going to enroll for the online mobile development...i spoke to an admins rep and shes helping me get going with fafsa and all that stuff...i've heard mixed reviews about the course..saying it's out of date and its too specific, but i've done research..i have an associates in graphic design and i think this bachelors will make a world of a difference
I am currently a student of the online Mobile Development program living in California trying to complete it. I can tell you it is pretty hard if you are working full time.
I am currently in my second year and I am struggling. I really enjoy being a Full Sail student, but you have to be prepared to have a TON of information thrown at you super fast. That is probably the biggest challenge. Imagine never once having worked with a language such as Javascript, and have it thrown at you in a single month while working full time and having a family. Its difficult.
Each course is only a month long, and the amount of stuff you have to absorb is overwhelming. But again, this is what we sign up for. I struggle a lot and I am under constant pressure, but there is a sense of accomplishment when you actually see your projects come to fruition.
Hello
I am new to this forum so will probably ask some rather stupid questions, for this I apologise in advance.
I am a final year product design student looking for some help with the development of an app for my exhibition stand. I am looking for some one to make an app which will be able to communicate with a bluetooth device. The app will be used on a smart phone to notify the user when the first device gives a signal. I will have all the visuals sorted out. I know this description is pretty vague but do not want to explain my entire project on this forum for reasons of confidentiality.
I will be exhibiting my work at two large shows this summer in Edinburgh and London with over 10,000 and 20,000 visitors expected respectively meaning great promotional opportunities for any one who helps me out.
Thank you
Gregor
Hello App developers!
Hello, my name is Tivone Wright, and two other friends and me are starting up a really amazing company. We are now in the beginning phase of starting this company, and the idea of this company is to be flexible. I am a 19 year old programmer/CEO (they agreed to allow me to become it). I will be running this business, and going to college at the same time. Some of you may ask yourself, "Uhm...is he serious? That is impossible for anyone to do." Well as it may seem it is impossible, it is not for me. I halted all college activities to pursue technology because I would literally give everything up for it. It is my one true love, and is why I am starting up my own business. Now, portfolio will depend if you are interested. "That does not make any sense what he just said." Well you see, the idea of this company is to be flexible (my workers will soon have to work at an establishment, but if not, then online work is just as good as physical work). As this company will become more mature in its pre-mature stage, you will understand the overall point of this company. For now, we (yes this company is a team effort and shines because of it) must build a base. We must create software that has not been created yet, and soon enough hardware too. I ask those who want to see the future, their creations, their ideas, the impossible unfold in front of their eyes to join my business. How will pay work? I will make it worth your wild. Programmers, I too am a programmer, so I will be working along side with my employees, my friends, and my team. CEO's make a lot of money, but I am willing to sacrifice some of my earnings to see my fellow friends happy. I want to see my dream flourish, and as you read this, I hope you do too. Now, the plan is to create on both Android, and (kills me to say this) IOS markets. We will strike both at similar games. Not only that, but unique and beautiful task apps. This company will also contribute to XDA atmosphere. That's right custom rom devs, a department for you too. Once my company hits the hardware mark, then we shall create smartphones that is by default rooted. If you are interested, then contact me through:

Don't believe I am a programmer?
public class MySurfaceView extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback{
//I'll keep this simple
private final Context context;
public MySurfaceView(Context context, Attrib attrib){
this.context = context;
SurfaceHolder holder = getHolder();
holder.addCallback(new Handler(){
@override
public void messages(){
}
});
}
Now, I am need of in specific:
C/C#/C++ programmers
Java programmers(android base language)
HTML programmers(to build a website since this is going to be major)
Web designers(CSS programmers)
PhP programmers
Graphic Designers
Game Developers
Also the best part........Amateur - Master programmers.
Moderators I hope I did not break any rules while creating this thread, but if I did, do close this thread and give me some idea to where I should put a post like this(Thank you)
Sincerely,
(CEO)Tivone Chris Wright
Go for it man! Dont let anyone tell you that you can't do it! Especially when learning code, learning a computer language (especially by your self) makes you feel like you can achieve anything that you try hard enough for

Yup I have been learning languages by myself. I love it and I want to start an early career at it. My hope is that this business will pick up in a month with, or without help. I've struggled majority of my life and to be honest, a business in the technology field will be the only thing to make me happy. Are you a programmer?
Me too! I learned HTML and php a while back by my self, then started with java but never really did anything until recently I just back into programing and hopefully one day when I'm confident enough I'll join a team!
And I understand when you say that it will be the only think that will make you happy! The way I see it if you tough your self at a young age (like I did too xD) then something tells me you'll be motivated and dedicated enough to achieve greatness in this field
Oh yeah I picked marketing up by simply observing human transactions and thing of the fundamentals of marketing. Sir, since you are starting back, I would love to have you on my team. My friends and I would teach you everything, even on android.
Haha I love the offer I really do! Just the reason why I haven't been giving it my 100% is because of school! I have to finish writing up a few academic papers then I'll be focusing all my efforts on developing
You have my contact information. My business picks up and when you are ready, just email of Facebook chat me.
Will do! Thanks for the offer
Update(in case anyone thinks this is fake(ha)) my team now consist of eight members. Anyone else want to take advantage of this offer?

Moderator close this thread please. I decided to do my project by myself. Thank you sir.
Having lived in the Republic Of Ireland for nearly a year now I realise just how important the Gaelic Games of Hurling and Football are to these wonderful people. Unfortunately they are poorly informed via the official GAA app. There is one called GAH which simply shows fixtures/results but the country is crying out for a more informative app. I have searched everywhere and been unable to discover one...if someone out there knows of such a beast then please let me know. All that is basically really required is the ability to select favourite teams to follow, view previous results and forthcoming fixtures but most importantly also list the TV channels these games are to be broadcast on.
Anybody out there looking for an app project should seriously consider this as a golden opportunity because the response to anyone able to provide a detailed Gaelic Games app would be staggering.....
Thanks for reading
