PDAmill merges with Nav N Go
I was very surprised to hear that PDAmill just merged with Nav N Go. So what happens to the great PDAmill games we have enjoyed up to now? Nav N Go was started by PDAmill a while back to develop and promote non-gaming software solutions, and according to PDAmill, it has been very successful at it. The merger was a strategic decision and the information that was provided to me indicates that games development will continue as usual but with a higher level of enthusiasm. The http://PDAmill.com link is still active and the http://NavNGo.com site has a prominent link to it. I am looking forward to the new gaming titles slated to be released shortly by Nav N Go.

The Windows Mobile instant messaging bible
Instant messaging is one of the key features of today's communication. Its much faster than e-mailing, much easier and less expensive than making a phone call, and is pretty reliable. E-mails, even the push variety, are not guaranteed to notify the user at once. (This is the introduction to an excellent and comprehensive article on instant messaging on Windows Mobile devices. You can read the full article on the blogs.)
