This is a little app for WinMo, that according to the developer, should work with WinMo5 and up. A user at XDA, oldsap, has come up with a way to give voice on your windows mobile device. It’s working flawlessly on my HD2, and it’s really quite quaint. It reminds me a bit of the old phone, “on the third stroke the time will be” talking clock from most landlines.
Feaures:
- can be set at 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min, or 60 min intervals.
- does not run in the background so it won’t eat up resources and battery juice.
- tested on HTC Ozone
- should work on WM5 and above
- INSTALL IN DEVICE MEMORY
How to Use:
- run the TalkingClock application
- choose the time interval you want it to tell the time then click on SET INTERVAL
- click START
- exit the application
- to stop the application from further announcing the time, launch the TalkingClock application again and click on STOP, then exit
You can set intervals from 5 to 60 minutes in the application, and easily turn it on and off. It’s a nice little app, one thing of note, if your device is set to auto lock like most, the app doesn’t function whilst the device is locked, at the moment.

Well it’s a matter of hours before the new iPhone hit’s the streets in Australia. In a couple hours most of the major service providers, Telstra, Optus, Three and Vodafone will open their doors to the lines and the pre-orderers. It will be interesting to see if the major issues reported with the device migrate here!

Windows Phone 7 is being touted as Microsoft’s last chance to regain a footing in the mobile space. and with some clever marketing, has inflamed the blogosphere. With the release of a lot of pre production developer phones, loaded with a preview version of the OS, meant to incite and inspire development for the platform. WP7 [Windows Phone 7] is supposed to be the revitalisation of the Windows Mobile paradigm. Once the leading mobile operating system, that became a pariah, through lack of focus at Microsoft, losing to the iPhone and of late Android, WP7 is actually starting to look like a viable and useful operating system.
There’s a huge video look here at a lot of the facets of the OS, and you have to say it’s shaping up into an exciting OS. Questions remain though, this release is locked down, and include elements of the Zune , and xBox interface. There’s a huge risk associated with WP7, locking down the system, including Zune tech, that hasn’t made it out of the US, and believing that gaming is a major mobile priority.
I don’t doubt that WP7 will be, to use an iPhone phrase, jailbroken, the hackability of windows mobile, is what keeps a lot of WinMo users with the platform, Microsoft’s attempt to lock down the system, will be circumvented for sure.
