Dexpot or TopDesk? Dexpot or TopDesk? Hmm….
I’ve always been a pretty big fan of TopDesk, especially when they brought a flip3d-like window chooser to Windows XP.
ThoughtFix just created a video of Dexpot, though, and I think I might be ready to convert! Dexpot has window choosers like TopDesk, but it also has a virtual desktop system built in!
Very interesting!
MobileCrunch on the N800
So, while we were buying N800s at CompUSA and blogging about them left and right, this guy already had one for weeks but was embargoed? OUCH.
I won’t be able to give it a thorough read until tonight, but Oliver’s review looks very complete. I definitely agree with him that a software upgrade to make communicating between nearby Internet Tablets would be great. And, also on his list, I’d love to see a portrait-mode switch for the display.
For another comprehensive review, check out ThoughtFix’s.
ReaderMini.com in the news!
Looks like people have been trying ReaderMini and have some great feedback.
Adam Pash of LifeHacker welcomes the improvement ReaderMini is over the official Google Reader Mobile app, Jason Clarke of DownloadSquad says it works great in Opera on Pocket PCs, Kevin Tofel of JKOnTheRun likes ReaderMini’s footprint on the 7 inch UMPC screen size.
Meanwhile, there is plenty of constructive criticism, too. ReaderMini requires Ajax, so PocketIE apparently doesn’t work. It doesn’t work on the SideKick 3 either. On my todo list is making a version that looks like ReaderMini.com does now, but requires no Javascript. That’s a lot of work, though, so if you really want it, leave me feedback here.

New versions of Tasks and Tasks Pro!
Congrats to Alex King on the long awaited releases of Tasks 2.7 and Tasks Pro 1.7! I go back and forth between paper and digital task tracking and, in my experience, Tasks is a fantastic digital option. Now that it has tags, there’s no stopping it!
