Why I like VMPlayer

I am using VMWare's VMPlayer extensively now and a feature I only recently discovered is that the VMPlayer will dynamically change the resolution of the guest OS when I resize the VMPlayer window, thus it is possible to have unlikely resolutions of 433x900 etc.

To me this is great, I can now run my VM alongside my other applications and it looks like just another application actually. I have a screenshot available just to give some background to why I am so impressed, just be warned it is a 1920x1200 PNG image.

Opera 8.6 for PocketPC

I downloaded the new Opera for PocketPC and it is very stable and much better than Pocket IE. At last I have JavaScript 1.2 support and some other goodies Pocket IE does not have.

Unfortunately Opera for PPC is not free so I will have to fork out $29 for my full copy soon. At least it will be money well spent.

iPAQ Bluetooth Keyboard


I bought myself an iPAQ hx4700 PDA a bit more than a year ago and I have been using it mosly everyday. I just recently decided to by the iPAQ bluetooth keyboard as well.

The keyboard works like a charm, I am actually typing this blog using my iPAQ, the BT keyboard and my Sony Ericsson W550i cell phone.
