Ever wondered to watch TV on your Windows Mobile 6 and 5 !

I saw a lot of apps provided by network operators targeted towards the Symbian OS and other Java phones….but there wasn’t any “true TV app” for the Windows Mobile 6.5.

Check out SPB TV….another great quality application which is also “free”.

SPB quotes it as follows:
” SPB TV is mobile TV, which has 150+ live streaming TV channels, Quick channel preview, Channels from 20+ countries and Video-on-Demand services as well as picture in picture mode for quick browsing. No subscription fee! ”

I tested the app yesterday evening and was delighted with the User Interface and the ease-of-use. The application is really easy to use and the quality of streaming channels is quite good.

SPB TV channel preview

It is recommended to have atleast a 3G or WiFi connection for good viewing of channels.

I tried it out on 3G connection (BSNL 3G) and the quality of channels was quite good. I loved watching NASA TV and some other music channels on SPB TV.

Overall, I recommend you all the download the application for your Windows Mobile phone.

My Rating: 9/10

Bluetooth – How to use and most importantly, use safely…..

Bluetooth today is found on almost all mobile phones sold around the world (except the ones which do not have color screens and are really cheap). Bluetooth is used for file-sharing between mobile phones as well as with PC’s.

But bluetooth is vulnerable as well as you have to keep in mind that one incorrect step might get your mobile phone hacked…..

There are many programs available on the internet which can hack into your phone via bluetooth and then the hacker can make calls / spy, read all your messages and phonebook etc. So, security while using bluetooth is an very important aspect….

Mobile phones with bluetooth have a visibility option as well as you are able to restrict the incoming connections by checking the names of the devices.

The following steps are important to keep your phone secure:

1. Visibility must be off when you are not using your phone to receive any files…

2. Also check out the name of the device you are going to connect. There might be many devices active, and choosing the wrong device might put your security at risk…

3. *Always* use a Pass-Key……Using a pass key authenticates and verifies the connection on both the ends so that no other device can connect to your phone until the passkey is correct…

So,take care while using bluetooth and stay secure….

Happy sharing…..
