According to many news sites from the summer (like these : http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2008/jun08/06-10BloombergMobilePR.mspx and http://visualstudiomagazine.com/news/article.aspx?editorialsid=9987), there is apparently a Bloomberg application for windows mobile similar to the iphone app. Yet, I cannot find any place to download this. Does anyone have any information on this?
Seems to be more or less an Asian thing, neverless here the MSN Search results: http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=Bloomberg+"Windows+Mobile"+download&src=IE-SearchBox
still cannot find a download site with that search from msn.com
http://bbmobile.bloomberg.com/winmo.html
yeah ...check out guys with above link ..its 472kb only cab file
Looks like you might need a Bloomberg Professional Account in order to use the Mobile Application.
I installed the .cab file on my phone, (then registered on bloomberg via the normal bloomberg website using my pc), but cannot login via the app on my mobile. It does not recognize my login name and I cannot register via the mobile...Any ideas???
Winmo is losing out big time.

Indeed, there is a bloomberg app for winmo, but it is not free. the site to download is http://bbmobile.bloomberg.com/winmo.html , but you got to register to use it. The normal account you registered cannot be use on the bloomberg winmo app. To use it, you need to call up to bloomberg and sign up a "bloomberg anywhere" account. I did call up for the same issue. to sign up, it will cost thousand per month, while iphone is giving it for free. Even Big Players such as Yahoo and Autodesk went over to iPhone.
Now u see the reason for iphone wave. If this continue, iPhone will monopolise the smart phone market. Some ppl like me, thought that Blackstone is a potential iPhone killer. After get the blankstone, I will say blankstone is good, BUT it is nowhere close to what iPhone have to offer. Some even think that Palm Pre could be the next iPhone killer. But after the review, I think not.
My next phone set could be iPhone. Hope Winmo will catch up by then. Good Luck to Winmo user like me. Major thing i still using Blackstone, is GPS and bluetooth. If iPhone can resolve these issue somehow, I dun think any of the other phones can stand before iPhone any more.
Its here! the non-pro version like for the iphone.
Been looking awhile for this, wonder why they are so quiet about it..

Thanks for the link. However, I cannot get it work on my Jasjam wm 6.1. I get the following error message:

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a workaround? I'll be very grateful for any assistance.
Hi,
Could you pls supply the cab file?
Thanks.
Okay now I am jealous!
My wife's shiny new Desire has just had Kindle made available to it on the App Store.
Where can I source some good [ideally free!] ebooks for the HD2 and which EBook Reader should I get please?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=652252
i would recommend freda reader....its great.(now use the search option please before you post)
Thanks. I knew about the ereaders but didnt see this thread for ebooks themselves.
Do I need that indexer as well as the Freda Reader you mention above?

indexer is for the ereader tab whereas with freda you just install the app and that's that.
Great thanks.
I will give it a whirl
My favorite reader software is mobipocket (free). You can also use there Creator software to convert between different formats.
What type of books are you into?
If sci-fi then google "5th imperium". Its a site set up by Baen books with loads of books available but they are all sci-fi / fantasy.
You can download them in various formats.
Perfect. I am indeed a Sci-Fi and Fantasy nut
thanks petest got a couple of good reads for my flight and I know where to get plenty more now from 5th Imperium!
I cant get to grips with mobireader - cant even get it to see the books I have on my mem card.
Tried Freader and so far so good.
You can also try sites like the Gutenberg project. It offers tons of free books(mostly the old, classic stuff). For illegal free eBooks I recommend this site.
My favorite reader is e-reader , but it has bug on htc hd2 it does not remember theme setting . To convert books I use Desktop Stanza or quick PDB . And you have to " install books " or go online ereader website and create your book shelf , then with htc you go online login to ereader and download your books you put there . It sounds like lot but once you do it few times , it's breeze .

I just hope I wont get any problems with the moderators because I posted a link to a site where you can find warez
But since the post hasn't been deleted yet and I have received no warning, I hope the moderators wont find the post
ps: I don't want to start a discussion but warez or links to warez sites (other than the one I provided) shouldn't be posted here on XDA IMO. It's bad for software developers and perhaps even XDA itself. If you really want warez, you will find them yourself (including Trojans etc.) but not on XDA-developers.
I am in desperate need of a good efficient Microsoft compatible office program on my Streak. QuickOffice came preinstalled, but I cannot seem to upgrade to the full version (so it only reads pdfs). Also when I press the buy now button on their website, it pulls up marketplace and says it was not found. I have a support ticket open on their site, but so far no useful responses.
Is anyone else having this problem? Or can anyone recommend a program for reading word and excel (and maybe powerpoint)?
Another bizarre thing is that a developer (who I sent a message to saying the Streak does not display their app right) came back saying "due
to it's irregular screen size the graphics for the game don't quite fit". 800x480 is not irregular. Maybe the screen does have a higher resolution which is being scaled down like fards mentioned.
Company in Question: http://www.quickoffice.com/
.
Have you looked at documents to go?
Also I think the screen size is down to the dpi, they are using 160 dpi on the streak, don't think that's too common.
Well i had a good look around the tinternet for you and have to say there is not much out there office wise for the android
Like fards said documents to go is one but it says will not support office 2010 so from what i can see the one we have Quick office seems to be the best
Now i went to the marketplace found the quick office clicked buy now and it took me to the google checkout did you get that far ?
I reckon Quick Office, without copy & paste, is pretty redundant, that's a big & basic hole for a document editor, if it was the only option then I guess it'd still buy it and pray for an update!
Hi Fards, I'm about to purchase documents to go, I didn't know it existed for Android. I need it for creating and editing word and excel documents and then emailing them, do you use it, and are you happy with it for those basic tasks?
Regards,
Matt
Thanks for the feedback. It just seems like QuickOffice is the best solution currently out.
For the time being I may go with Documents To Go, thanks for the suggestion fards
@lufc
I cannot find it in the marketplace. Likewise, when I use my barcode reader from their website it says the app cannot be found. The same happens when I press the buy now button on the web page from my Android phone.
My Dell Streak is running Android 1.6 build 3562
Still no response from QuickOffice support.

I have a need for spreadsheet on the Streak and I compared the lite trial versions of both Documents To Go and QuickOffice. I decided that Documents To Go was much better.
Now that I have it I am blown away by its pdf capabilities whereby it word wraps the text so goodbye to terminable side to side scrolling. Amazing.
Having registered my intention to try it out, DataViz offered me the suite for $9.99 which is cheap enough so that I don’t need to compromise my ethics over it. You could say at that price it is a steal anyway - pun intended.
I use the paid for version of Docs to go and it really is good. I have used the word to go to amend work docs on the move and this week discovered the powerpoint viewer was very useful in outline mode as I could access all the notes straight from that view, which was helpful in my meeting as it also means less scrolling
Tbh I haven't used docs to go since my palm days many many years ago, but I was looking at it just before you posted The question.
I can't stand pirated software, especially when he developers work so hard and charge so little for their android stuff.

Although I am a software conterfitting whore for Windows, I do indeed support Android and their developers apps. Plus at such a minimal cost, it is entirely worth it.
Bad news though, I downloaded the Documents to Go shown in my markerplace and when I opened it to press 'buy key' it brings me to the search result for Documents to Go, but does not show the full version
Looks like a may be installing an illegal version after all... Or maybe after I root my phone to a newer build it will be resolved.

I bought it direct from the website using my full win7 computer. This was in response to an email from DataViz as follows:-
"Thank you for registering our Documents To Go 2.0 "Viewer" for your Android-based device. The free Viewer version allows you to view Microsoft Word and Excel files and attachments on your device.
We are excited to offer you a special price, direct from DataViz only, on our Documents To Go Full version upgrade. "
That mail contained a link and I followed my nose from there.
Maybe best to wait for DataViz to respond to your registration after you download and install the Viewer only version?
QuickOffice updated my support ticket saying they updated the installer and to look again.
Now fully functional, purchased the app with no problems
I got an offer email through today as well do bought it, much prefer the pdf reader to the adobe one. worth the 9.99 usd for that, the amount of emails I get with pdfs in..
I used quick office and docs to go on the iphone, docs to go was better. However all the features are not on the android version and I have found the quick office version better and functionality rich (although far from perfect). The main features that made it better was the google docs integration

I use the purchased ver. of Doc.'s to go on my EVO and just purchased it again for my Streak. I use the PDF viewer a lot. One of the things you can do with the pdf viewer is go to a restaurant's web site, download their nutrition info.. Then next time you wonder how may fat calories the super sized Whopper has, you will have it at your finger tips. You can also make color coded pdf/excell doc's on a pc then email them to your streak. Open them with doc's to go and you are all set.
I discovered today that you can't open encrypted files in QuickOffice, but Docs to go (the full version at least) had no problem with it!
When I say 'encrypted' I use it in the sense that MS office uses it - you put a password on a file and save it.

Ah very interesting information to know, thanks. Never tried it.
Quick office will not install
Hey guys. Like it says, I can't get it to install.
I'm running StreakDroid 1.9 and Steve has HD installed as a system app so I upgraded to the full version so I could create documents and it wouldn't install.
So I deleted it from /system/apps/ and bought QuickOffice Pro and couldn't get it to install either....
any ideas?
I've wiped the cache and dalvik cache just in case and that didn't help either
Sorry: Due To Strong Demand We Cannot Provide Service At This Time. Please Try Again Later., In Windows Mobile 6 and 6.5 is the message you are going to get if you are a skyfire user now. This been like this for the last 2 days now.
I don't know if we the windows mobile users have been turn off to get the big sale for the iphone, i will be removing skyfire from my phone for reason of no reply on the truth on why we have been turn off. I believe someone is not supporting beta anymore.
I have the same problem since yesterday! Help!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, unfortunately they have just launched their iPhone and iPad version for the app store.
To try to handle the load of new users on their server farms, they have basically said f-off to the WinMo and Symbian users.
Here's a link showing how well they are doing with iPhoney sales in the app store.

Damn.. Kudos to them haha. Anyways, use uZard.
skyfire has turned off winmo and symbian access
from one of their forum mods in their support section:
All the platforms run on one server, After the high demand for skyfire on iphone's for now Windows has been turned off on the server end. I can't give you a exact time period as to when we'll be back up again, All I can say is soon.
http://support.skyfire.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5981
oh well, I will never use it on any phone I get in the future. To turn off the servers for the people that built their reputation is pretty crappy. I hope they can't keep up with demand and get a bad reputation on the iphone.
why the **** i have to connect to a server if i only want to use the f****** browser. they should remove the online bookmark function at least give it a offline modus. they whole browser is still very suspect to me. simply let us use the browser like every ither developer and dont force us to go online before we evev load a webpage and make money with our surfbehaviors. anyways browser is great, but only if you can use it, without synchronising your bookmarks and whatever furthrt at stsrtup...

I think that's because Skyfire is basically an Internet Proxy - it accesses the real pages, optimises them for size & speed and serves them back to the local browser as a Skyfire friendly page that renders quickly.
So no server, no browser, basically.
...and careful with the language please!
Well I for one am never gonna use skyfire again. Never thought it was that good any way apart from flash. uZardWeb is way faster in the uk. I think skyfire really dont see that there is competition out there and not just from uZardWeb. Wish I never gave them support with skyfire when they started out.
Skyfire doesn't give a damn about Windows Mobile... They dropped the platform (notice how there no version 2.0 for WM). They made no money with it (it was free), its dying platform and their code wouldn't work in WP7 (due to the stupid "no native code" support... imagine rewriting everything in C# for free and such a small niche).
Lot's of Apple idiots/fanboys in the world (it's a fing status symbol/icon). With the iPhone/iPad version I assume they are getting more traffic than they can handle right now. Anyway the only reason they are getting this much attention is Apple's anti-flash tantrum...
PS: I hate the uZard Project. uZard Media player is a slightly modified TCPMP version (worse than bimbam's by the way)... They didn't release the sources and didn't respond to my mail requesting it. I hope Core nails them for copyright infringement.
well, uzard could be good, but as i see some 'trial period over' it makes me go away.
Oh, btw, skyfire s**k big time.
Same here, so just un-installed it. Sod them,life goes on.

they didn't have to give winmo a 2.0 update, just a 1.6 update that fixed the video playback issues. Skyfire 1.x is based on IE6 (I think) which is no longer supported by most built video plugins. That is why video died.
And now to have been cut off completely from the servers.....
Alternative browsers?
Its been 4 days and i already miss having built in video web pages. I have come to my senses and going to delete skyfire for good. Right now im using opera mini and opera mobile for my browsing satisfication, but no built in video i could live without it, but are there any alternative browsers that can do the same thing?
This is one of many reasons why cloud computing sucks

Uzard wasn't good enough .. Is there an updated version somewhere?
any.option.to.replace.Skyfire?
Thank you guys for posting this thread and information.
I allways went to Sky Fire in the morning to read the news and stuff.
I was wondering what the happened to the server.
I now know why.
So I deleted Sky Fire and installed this Uzard Browser.
It works, but video is shoppy and browser is not as fast as Opera, but the colors and graphics is much better.
Skyfire is done with WM just like other companys dishing out software. They are all waitin for WP7. The only company I've seen that has the balls & courtesy to admit it was NIMBUZZ. Their site actually doesn't even offer WM downloads anymore and says they will resume work when the WP7 platform is ready. Look around all the well known programs that are cross platform and u will notice IPHONE & ANDROID have been getting updatest but not WM. Even the news station in my area says no more updates for the near future when tryin to download their news app. If everyone was not so materialistic and only cared about the new cool device these companies would keep supportin WM but they are just doin what the consumer wants them to do. They make more money from IPHONE & ANDROID so ofcourse thats where their attention is focused & till WP7 comes they will keep sayin "**** WINDOWS MOBILE!" Its all about money.
Well, it's kind of disappointing, but it's not like I paid for it (like the iphone users are doing).
You can use TCPMP as the player for UZard. I don't remember the exact trick, but I think if you open tcpmp up first, then open a vid on uzard, it will play through tcpmp, which is better because the skin on the uzard player is crap.
Has anyone found or manage to install the "USA TODAY for Tablet" on their NC? I'm trying to track down the APK but can't find it.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.usatoday.android.tablet.news
Does anyone think updating the build.prop to match the Xoom would allow it to be downloaded from the Market on to a NC?
I use the phone version frequently and would love the tablet version on my NC. I was surprised to not see much mentioned about it on XDA. If anyone has managed to install it can you verify that it works on Honeycomb v4? I'm afraid it's going to use a different sdk version (11, not 10 that the Preview image is).
It wouldn't install because we are using the wrong sdk version but if we could get it to install, I imagine it would work. I don't think it's using anything the preview sdk didn't have. Try asking someone in the xoom forums to post the apk. They'll be the only ones who have it.
Don't forget that Honeycomb has a new UI method which this might use. Pulse now will use this, but you won't see it on anything less than Honeycomb.
Activity Fragments
Honeycomb allows developers to break the Activities of their applications into subcomponents called Fragments, and then combine them in a variety of ways to create a richer, more interactive experience. For the landscape view, Pulse allows you to open the story right there in a new fragment. This allows readers to simultaneously browse and read news stories.
