Most of you know that I am a pretty big fan of playing games on my Windows Mobile device.  Heck, probably half of my reviews are game-related.  While a lot of these games are fantastic, it is pretty rare to find a game that can actually make you a better person.  Then, about a year and a half ago, a new genre of game starting making its way onto our devices.  Games that promised to make you faster, smarter, and sometimes even more quick witted.  These brain training games were more than just exciting puzzles on your device, they are games which are actually designed to target specific areas of your brain.  I have reviewed two of these brain training packages in the past: Spb Brain Evolution and Mastersoft Brain School.  The third installment of this trilogy, however, is Resco’s Brain Games.  I did not have a chance to review Brain Games when it was initially released, but I am glad I waited because the latest version is fantastic.  I have only been playing it for a few weeks and I already feel smarter.  Stick with us and we will take a closer look.

Well they’re not extending business into new territory so those of you looking to get some for your July 4th celebrations will have to look elsewhere. But fireworks alone will not make a memorable celebration (though they do help) so Proporta, doing what they do best, is extending a great deal:

Get 15% off all Proporta branded hardware products when you use promotion code FIREWORKS at the checkout page. But a discount alone would not be such a great deal right? So Proporta has decided to extend their free shipping offer to all US address.

So that’s a 15% discount and free shipping. Can’t get any better than that. If I were you, I’d load up that cart and check it out pronto.

This offer is valid for orders placed on July 4th 2008 only from www.proporta.com

Did you get caught talking on your phone without a handsfree kit yesterday? Well we did remind you about the law which went into effect in California yesterday but if you still got caught, well we’ll try to soften the impact with this piece of news.

Headsets.com is planning to give away a Plantronics Discovery 925, valued at $149.99 to one lucky dude who got ticketed. While I am not sure what to say about rewarding law breakers, I guess equipping one more driver with the means to not get caught is a good thing. So if have a ticket, send it over to them and see if you can turn bad into good. (via cNet)

As July 13 2008 looms, you can’t help but read more and more about the Treo 800w which Sprint is expected to launch on that (much) anticipated date. For those of you who’ve been eyeing this phone since last year, here are some hard specs to confirm your suspicions. For starters, it’s going to be clocked at 333MHz (which is something I have not seen on a Windows Mobile device) with a 320×320 screen. It doesn’t seem to big judging from its 4.4.1” x 2.28” x 0.73” dimensions and 4.94oz of weight.

It even comes with WM6.1 (so you’ll get threaded text messages). Unfortunately, Multimedia Messaging (MMS or what Sprint calls Picture Mail) is sorely missing from this device.

So are you still going to get it come July 13? Or was the lack of MMS a deal breaker for you. I guess the bigger question is: Will Sprint really launch the Treo 800w on July 13 or will we see yet another delay? (via The Boy Genius Report)

When it comes to downloading stuff directly to your phone from the web, it can be a frustrating experience. The site is not formatted properly, you need to go through many pages just to reach the download page or once you do, the file is in .exe format (which means you need to run it from your desktop instead). Seeing a problem in this area, Google has taken a great initiative and created their Google Mobile page to be a friendly site for Windows Mobile users.

Rather than searching for what Google products work on your Windows Mobile device, just head over to http://www.google.com/mobile/winmo/index.html and choose from their wide offerings of Search, Map and Gmail. Not all can be downloaded to your phone and most of links to the mobile formatted pages but it’s still a step in the right direction. Thank to this page, I now know that there is Picasa for Windows Mobile too. Or am I the last to know?

If you’re planning to use it all from that Windows Mobile device of yours, be sure to hit up http://www.google.com/mobile/winmo/index.html or go there with your desktop browser and send the link to your phone. Whatever method you choose, Google has you covered. (via WMExperts)

As most of you probably know, I have fallen in love with GooSync.  It is a fantastic application which takes up almost no space on your device, and effortlessly syncs your Google calendar, contacts, and tasks.  Exactly what I needed.  I can now manage my personal information from anywhere.

The biggest problem which I and many others have noted with the program, though, is the cost.  At £19.95 (about $40) per year, it is not cheap to maintain an account.

All that will change today, though, as the good folks at GooSync continue to refine their service.  They now offer a one time fee (or lifetime subscription) of £39.95 (about $80).  Really, when I think of how much I use this program, that $80 pricetag sounds pretty reasonable.  So, if the annual fees were all that had been keeping you on the fence, go ahead and sign up for the new One Time GooSync subscription, and never worry about renewals again.

July Fourth weekend is nearly upon us here in the United States.  And then can mean only one thing.  It is time for the bombs bursting in air and the rockets red glare to give proof in the night that both of your drunken hands are still there.  Yup, that’s right…time for fireworks.

If you are like me, though, maybe you have small kids.  And maybe they don’t like bright flashing lights, and loud booming sounds.  Or, maybe you just don’t particularly like to let them play with fire and explosives.  Regardless, Astraware has a great application for you.

Just in time for the Fourth of July, they have released an updated version of their popular Astraware Fireworks application.  Astraware fireworks is available free for Palm OS, Windows Mobile, and Windows Mobile Smartphone.  Just head over to Astraware and download your copy today.

The good tidings don’t stop there, however.  Astraware also announced today the release of their classic game (based on the PC game by Digital-Eel) Big Box of Blocks for S60 phones.  In order to celebrate the release, Astraware Club Members can download Big Box of Blocks for a limited time absolutely free for Palm OS, Windows Mobile, Windows Mobile Smartphone, or S60.  Not a club member yet?  Hurry over here to sign up, and then download the game from Astraware’s site.

Sprint To Start Selling The Treo 800w On July 13th?

To be honest with you, my guess is as good as yours, even if supported by the internal memo you see above. That’s because, we’ve been given so many estimates that it’s really hard to believe when this device will finally be in the hands of the consumer. So if you’ve been waiting a long time for this device, I sure hope that July 13th will be the day you finally find happiness. Expect to pay $599.99 without contract and $249.99 with one plus rebates.

Samsung i788 To Be Masked As The BlackJack 3?

For those among us looking for a front QWERTY keyboard device but are on GSM carriers, then the Samsung i788 might just be the one for you. Rumored to be brought in by AT&T and branded as the BlackJack 3, it is nothing like it’s predecessors. For one, it’ll be running Windows Mobile Professional which makes it a touchscreen device with a stylus. Expect that to be WM6.1 since it should be coming out soon enough and with the 3G frequencies that’ll function on AT&T’s network.

On paper, everything looks good for it like the 624MHz processor, the 256MB of ROM and 128MB of RAM. Whether or not we’ll see other features such as WiFi and aGPS will require further confirmation as we know how keen American carriers are in removing such features. Stay tuned!

Pre-Order The HP iPAQ 910 For $449 on Amazon.com

Alright by now you might think that I was rather bias with the first 3 news on this article being about front QWERTY Windows Mobile Professional devices. While I am in the market for such a device, that’s just the way I received it. Maybe a sign from heaven?

Anyway, back to the topic and for those of you looking for such devices as I am, the iPAQ 910 will be sold for $449 (after a $50 mail-in rebate). Amazon.com claims to be shipping it in 1-2 months though we have reason to believe that it would be a lot sooner considering other merchants are planning to sell them in the *very* near future.

What’s really impressive about this device is the fact hat it packs a 1940mAh batter in it’s svelte 15mm thick body. Running Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, it’s got almost similar specs to the i788 save for a 3.1 MP and a 416MHz CPU. Interested? Head over to Amazon.com and place your order. (via Gear Diary)
