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.

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

Sun xVM VirtualBox is a freeware from Sun Microsystems, the creators of Java, Solaris and many other great open source products.

Sun xVM VirtualBox is a software which allows users to install multiple virtual operating systems on their computer which do not affect your current system configuration.

Virtual operating systems do not affect the system in any way, as the virtual operating system creates a seperate
area in which operating systems can be installed. The operating system which is installed as Virtual OS does not
know that it is being installed on a “Virtual Machine” instead of an “Actual Machine or Host Machine”.

I have installed Sun VirtualBox on my system and loaded Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop….Look at the screen-shot below.

VirtualBox Main Screen

Installing an Virtual Operating System is very easy. You have to first create a Virtual Machine by Clicking on the New Button. You have to adjust the amount of Hard-Disk space and the RAM to be allocated to the machine.

You have to create the Virtual Machine and prefer the Dynamically Expanding Storage as it expands only when the space is used up by the operating system. (Though I have observed that it causes a lot of fragmentation of the file in which the Virtual OS is installed). You should allocate atleast 8GB HDD space for Linux operating system and more if you want to install an operating system like Windows Vista.

VirtualBox also allows the user to use the internet if available on the host operating system. The software creates a VirtualBox Host-Only network which allows the sharing of internet.

You can also use your removable drives (USB drives) and you can also use shared folders to share files from the host machine.

I have installed the Ubuntu OS which has Firefox installed and I have used it to surf the internet without any settings or any procedure on the Virtual Operating System. If you have internet running on the host machine then you can directly use the internet on the Virtual OS.

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…..
