iMate JasJam/Dopod 838 Pro Stowaway Driver : Mine works!

I've had my ThinkOutside Stowaway Bluetooth Portable Keyboard ever since it has been available in Australia. It's been a fantastic companion at work, school and overseas trips to type blogs, product descriptions etc. The Stowaway Bluetooth keyboard is just as good as having a full-sized keyboard, but you can take it anywhere and it fits in your pocket. I'm a huge huge fan.

You can imagine my dismay when I found out that the old driver for my XDAIIi did not work with my newish iMate JasJam. To make things worse, the ThinkOutside website didn't have a 'tested' available driver for the iMate JasJam :(

Today, desperate to take advantage of my new found mobile blogging abilities, I downloaded the iMate JasJar Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard drivers from the Support section of the site...and...voila!

Drenched in Melbourne's autumn sun, getting a lovely tan, I sit in Melbourne's foodcourt once again enjoying typing on my Stowaway. *sigh* Life's good.

So if you have a iMate JasJam and a Bluetooth Stowaway Keyboard, surf on down to www.thinkoutside.com for your driver today.

For those looking for a better means to input considerable chunks of data, check out the new version of the Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard, the iGo.

Telstra NextG 3G Network: Is it good for you?

Today I jumped onto the Telstra NextG network quite easily - just went to the T-Shop and got a new 3G Telstra SIM and within minutes I was surfing the web!

To be honest I thought that it would be faster considering that I was in the heart of Melbourne where you would expect would have the best coverage. Despite the fact that I had to wait for around 4-5 seconds for pages to load I was still overall pleased with being able to surf and possibly blog on the run.

Who else has tried it out?

Windows Mobile 6 / WM6 for your JasJam/Dopod 838 Pro : Better than WM5

The iMate JasJam / Dopod 838 Pro is definitely one of the most stable PDAs that I've had in a while. Kudos to Microsoft for the improved stability and performance that has been a result of many years developing PocketPC software. I think Microsoft did a great job with the operating system that it came packaged with, Windows Mobile 5 (aka WM5). However a couple of months down the track, Microsoft have release Windows Mobile 6 (aka WM6) which although is not a huge improvement, does come with upgrade-worthy features.

List of major changes to Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 / WM6 for PocketPC:
- Revamped outlook, refined icons;
- Totally re-mastered sound theme;
- Increased interface speed;
- Bundled IP-telephony (VoIP, SIP standard);
- Smart Dial 2.0, fast search through contacts, call history; removable on-screen virtual keyboard;
- Any tune can be assigned to any event;
- Support for shortcuts in Outlook Mobile;
- Full-fledged meetings arrangement system;
- Support for HTML in messages;
- Smart Filter - handy and fast search through messages;
- Numerous MS Exchange 2007-tailored changes;
- Integration with Windows Live online-services;
- Marketplace - purchase, download, and install directly from the device;
- Encryption - bundled memory card encryption

I've downloaded WM6 from XDA Developers as they have souped up versions that have been bundled with some nice applications. Although, I've had no problems with the current version that I'm using (Black Version 3.0), please do this at your own personal risk - read and follow instructions carefully and you'll be fine.

iBlue PS-737 GPS Receiver, CoPilot 6 and iMate JasJam - Works!

If you're anything like me, you'll enjoy that sigh of relief after spending a couple of hundred of dollars in gadgetry and finding that it actually works.

On Friday I received my iBlue PS-737 GPS Receiver, hoping that it would work with CoPilot 6 which I have installed on my trusty iMate JasJam. Setup was easy, just made sure that Bluetooth was switched on, paired the iBlue PS-737 GPS receiver, then also paired it up inside the CoPilot 6 app on my Jasjam. In no time, with the aid of the satellites in the heavens, it was telling me to head straight then turn left with the route set to "home".

Some personal comments about the iBlue PS-737 GPS receiver: it's tiny so less likely to be noticed by passing-by-car-thieves, takes a Nokia mobile phone battery, power efficient and considerably cheaper than GPS receivers with the same attributes.

For anyone contemplating a GPS solution for their JasJam or Dopod 838 (same machines) I can personally say that the Travroute CoPilot 6 and iBlue PS-737 GPS receiver make a great combo.

For those who want a slighter cheaper solution, Darrell in the office is using Route 66 GPS software instead of Travroute CoPilot 6 with his iBlue. Says it works really well tool

See you on the roads (without my old clumsy Melway).
