  • Correcting a link..

    I have been a fan of the WeatherCenter 2.6.2 gadget and not been shy to promote it. The only problem was that the download on the link I gave does not work. But all is not lost.. Go to this page, translate it and click on the Download button. You can either run it from the page as I did, or save it and...

    If you go to the Microsoft Gadget Gallery now, you will find many less gadgets available. This is not to say that the gadgets no longer exist, more that Microsoft are no longer providing the service as was. What few gadgets are on the current gadget page is all you will get unless you do a search in...

  • Bracketron updates their dual USB car charger

      I’ve used Bracketron’s earlier device ( the Bracketron UGC-102-BL Dual Socket Car Power Adapter ) for a while.  It works great, except it’s big and bulky and emits a whole nerd persona that you just can’t shake.  So, I was excited to...

  • Weather Center gadget..

    There is no shortage of weather gadgets, and I have tried most of them.  Ultimately, the most accurate weather reports for Canada come from ‘The Weather Network, so I have had a tendency to use TWN’s own gadget. Now, this is all very good for me, but what if you live in a place where TNW is not...

  • First Windows Phone 7 Update

    Today my Dell Venue Pro popped up a message that a new update is available. Since my DVP came with Copy/Paste feature update out-of-the-box, I am not expecting anything significant from this update. The Zune software also detected the update (including one for itself):     It took about 45...

  • Airtel 3G with Dell Venue Pro

    As you might know (if you are from India), Dell launched its Windows Phone 7 device Venue Pro recently (and it took few weeks to reach the retail shops after official announcement - quite odd to me). I got one lately and put one of my 3G SIMs on to it. After initial WP7 configuration, I enabled both...

  • Camera Connection Kit + USB/SD Memory = More iPad (Virtual) Memory

    After I figured out how images and movies from outside digital cameras can be imported into iPad, I don’t get that impulse to buy a big one anymore! :-) The big question people might have after reading my earlier post is: why would anyone want to go through that painful process of renaming, copying and...

  • Gadgets

    I don’t like the weather gadget which comes with Vista and Windows 7. I much prefer the Weather Networks offering, at least I did until very recently. Accuweather do a nice line in gadgets, various versions but, strangely, the smallest version does not show the correct temperature. When I installed it...
