TOPIC http://pdamobilecafe.wordpress.com/2009/02/07/new-pdamobilecafe-avantgo-channel-launched/ From our PDA Mobile Cafe website (sub domain at my www.BlueCollarPC.Net ) there is the PDA Wireless webpage here: http://www.pdamobilecafe.bluecollarpc.net/pdawireless.html Our new PDA Mobile Cafe AvantGo Channel here (view online) .... http://mysite.verizon.net/gerald_309/id16.html .....is a scaled down optimized wireless webpage now available as an AvantGo Channel and you can simply click the AvantGo Button to add the channel and make any changes you wish as far as size and links depth and sync frequency, etc. Basically it is a large directory of wireless websites including directories of wireless websites. This saves a lot of room in like Bookmarks and also you can easily bookmark any favorites out of the hundreds listed. Our channel has been tested and works very nicely even though it has that perhaps homely look of a personal web rather than a professional. We'll try to snaz it without much in graphics to keep it fast loading as it is now. There is a convenient search box for the website or online Google search (click option - site/web) off to the right side and also a forms box for emailing the webmaster with Comments, Report a dead link, add a link, feedback, etc. All in all - everything works well and it is a fast loader. We hope this may make your mobile life a little more streamlined and do consider mobile antivirus if you surf the wireless web or do the wi-fi download route ! The Symbian Mobile OS has really been hammered. TIP: AirScanner.Com offers a mobile firewall, as well as mobile antivirus (excellent with wireless defintions downloads) if you heavily traffic to avoid direct hacking. You can buy their antivirus and various products seperately or in bundled packages. They support newer Windows Mobile 6. Enjoy ! And have a mobile day !

For optimum performance of your Pocket PC, I suggest you check out the "Updates,Patch" section for all that was released for Pocket PC 2002 - which includes through Service Pack 3. Note that for transfer and playing PDA Media content with Windows Pocket Media Player you should apply the Windows Pocket PC Player Version 9, and also on the Home Computer Windows Media Player 9 version. Do not accept the Windows Media Player 9 Upgrade to Version 10. If you did, simply retrograde back to version 9 (only if you experience some difficulties in uploads/downloads from PC to PPC).

FULL STORY http://www.heise-online.co.uk/security/Anti-virus-for-Symbian-Series-60-now-free--/news/112439 First Windows CE Virus Emerges (PCWorld.com Article, July 2004) http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,116944,tk,dn071904X,00.asp Authors used the virus to demonstrate security flaws in the OS. A virus designed to demonstrate security holes in Microsoft's Windows CE operating system but not to cause damage was identified by security companies over the weekend. The WinCE4.Duts.A virus (sometimes known as Dust) only affects devices running ARM processors and infects Pocket PC PE files in the root directory, according to Bucharest-based Softwin S.R.L., which first reported the virus on Saturday. The virus was sent by its authors to antivirus vendors rather than being distributed in the wild and was not designed to propagate on a massive scale, but rather to demonstrate that devices running Microsoft Windows CE can be infected by malicious code, according to Viorel Canja, head of Softwin's BitDefender Labs unit. There are over 17 million Pocket PCs, smartphones, and other Internet appliances currently using the Windows CE operating system, according to Softwin.
