Part 15 of my detailed discussion of Windows Mobile 6.5; In this video I demonstrate an uber cool feature, HTC’s TouchFLO 3d 2.5 animated weather on my T-Mobile Touch Pro2.! To be called HTC Sense when it comes out on the HD2 superphone. Update: Here’s a link to MS announcement of 6.5 and other applications: www.microsoft.com Basically you can tell TouchFLO to run animated weather on your Today screen. You set how often you want the phone to check weather (every 15 minutes minimum) and it will check the weather at that interval. That would be cool enough, but what it does while downloading the weather is animate the conditions across the phone’s display. So far I have see “partly cloudy” which sends clouds across the entire screen; “sunny” that shoots sun rays outward from a yellow sun and “clear at night” that has a beaming moon. I can hardly wait for rain. If it is anything like my weather Easter egg (see my video) I expect there to be rain drops on my screen. And if there’s snow, Touch FLO appears capable of showing falling snow flakes. Update: I have combined into this one video all the weather conditions I have seen and also at the end I run the weather Easter egg for you. All in all a fantastic and fun little feature.

Quick tour of what you’d expect with the spb shell on the HD2. Runs real smooth, probably faster than the Sense GUI. This shows briefly how to install the new shell. Of course I purchased a copy, but just demonstrating other channels for the software. You can purchase it via www.spbsoftwarehouse.com
Part 2 – This is my review of the T-Mobile Touch Pro2 (or as some say, Touch Pro 2). This will be in multiple parts, 9-10 minutes each. Update: Here’s a link to MS October 6 announcement of 6.5 and other applications: www.microsoft.com This video talks about the history of the Microsoft’s Windows Mobile platform, including 6.1, 6.5 and 7. This is important because the TP2 comes with WinMo 6.1 and while it is OK to laugh about that, it sould NOT be a reason to avoid this GREAT device. The other sections are: Part 1 – Intro Part 3 – Pricing – Buying Tips Part 4 – In the box, form factor, nomenclature, hardware Part 5 – Software and Apps – Demonstration Part 6 – Accessories, Customization On the white clock asked about: 1. It is called the “White Filip Clock.” An easy install. You install two files. 2. Download the CAB files here: www.rantuniverse.com www.rantuniverse.com 3. Transfer the files to your microSD chip. Place anywhere. 4. ON TP2 open File Explorer. 5. Double click the SDKCERTS.CAB file just transferred. That will install it. Reboot after. 6. Now install clock cab. 7. Note: When cab install asks if you want to install despite security warning say yes. 8. When it says successfully installed, soft reset your TP2 and the clock should now be white flip.
