WinMoSquare: Foursquare client for Windows Mobile now in Beta (via artificial ignorance)
The app is only available for touch screen Windows phones today. The .NET Compact Framework v3.5 is a pre-requisite for you to be able to run the application on the phone. You’d also need a phone that runs either Windows Mobile 6.1 or a Windows Mobile 6.5.

If robots are allowed to evolve through natural selection, they will develop adaptive abilities to hunt prey, cooperate, and even help one another, according to Swiss researchers.
HTC HD2 – I finally found a stable ROM (1.55.405.2 (76641) WWE & Radio Stack (2.06.51.07) combo!
These have been running without a reboot for almost a week now including many phone calls made – where before I had to soft-reset the device almost daily. An important part of the upgrade from what I learned from hte XDA-Developers forums is a factory reset after applying all the ROM updates and booting for the first time.

Big news for Kindle owners – Amazon to release a Kindle SDK (via TeleRead)
According to a news release from Amazon, next month they will be releasing an
SDK (software development kit) that will allow software developers to build and
upload active content that will be available on the Kindle store later this
year. The release states that Handmark is developing an active Zagat guide,
Sonic Boom is building word games and puzzles and EA Mobile is porting some of
its games.
An interesting idea to keep eBooks interesting in the current slate hype. I wonder how these apps will perform.

Improving the HTC HD2 stability: Turning off email push sync.
I cannot verify yet, but I just got the hot tip that turning off email push synchronization will greatly enhance the HTC HD2’s stability. This is a trade I am happy to make if the device finally stops freezing once every other day. Since the device launch in November 2009, I have installed every update from the HTC site, but this issue was never completely fixed.
In Active Sync on the device, go to the scheduling settings and select everything but “As new items arrive” from the drop-down box. Then open the Comm Manager either through SenseUI’s settings pane or through the settings folder in the Start Menu page in case you disabled Sense UI. “Microsoft Direct Push” should now automatically be off.
I will be testing this setting, hoping to get the hoped for results…
HOT: HTC releases freqent updates for the HD2, makes device run much better.
HTC now publishes updates for the HD2 almost daily.
First there was the “ROM Upgrade for HTC HD2”, which replaces the device’s ROM. I didn’t have to reboot a single time since I applied this update. Earlier, I needed to reboot my HD2 daily.
Second, there is a “Update for HTC HD2 – Digital Picture Enhancement”, a hotfix that you simply copy to the device and execute. If you ever reset the device to factory settings, you will need to re-apply.
Today, an “Update for HTC HD2 – SMS Function Update” was released. Another hotfix to copy to the device and simply execute.
Looks like HTC is really working hard to making the HD2 a great device. I am very happy to see this.
