Remote control and desktop to Windows Mobile

I have always been wondering if there is such application and strongly believe it does due to the platform it is running (Windows). Since I am a supporter for Microsoft software and I might be biased but, again, nothing is impossible when it comes to user friendly in Microsoft.

Back to topic before I get gunned down, without giving up my previous attempt to find for the right software (easy to setup and not time consuming), I finally found one after few commercials software. It was running good, tho with some limitation with the freeware version, but it fits all my needs for the time being. One notable requirement, needs physical connection to the handset before you can establish the connection. However, from the official site, it states that bluetooth connectivity is supported but I tried and gave it up as I have few other stuff to work on. Activesync is expected to be installed before the software is allowed to proceed into use.

EveryWan Remote Support Personal edition satisfied my needs. I am able to remote control my handset without having to leave my hand from my laptop to view incoming smses (my laptop have build-in touchpad, for those using mouse and keyboard separately, you may need to lift you palms and do the necessary pointing). Besides having the nice resolution of my handset in my desktop, I am also given the controls to edit the registry, draw on device (??!!), view my running task, do file transfer and many more. It somehow depicts the activesync control, but EveryWan have desktop control.

This software will now be a part of the software listing which would relates with the Windows Mobile Handset, the Samsung Omnia i900. Next will be the remote desktop control from the windows Mobile to external Windows. This would be great when my laptop is out of reach and I need to access my laptop with only my handset with me. Probably using bluetooth as the comm tunnel or via wifi connection.

Samsung Omnia’s GPS with Mapking

I have installed the mapking on my handset. It wasn’t working quite well as expected (I guess my expectation is abit high). It’s currently coherently working with the port splitter. Before the GPS is able to work, the port splitter will need to be activated first with the right COM port entered (which is COM8 and COM6).

Before that, the software will need to be installed (and licensed) together with the map in place. Else, Mapking without map will lead you to no where (but you’ll have coordinates, nevertheless).

I have tried to use it by travelling down to Amcorp Mall and some other places (which I roughly knows the place), but with my level of trust toward the device, I got myself driving further than I should. At the end, I didn’t bother using it but my sense. I guess my sense sometimes worked.

There are some delays in the device/software and my estimation would be around 2 seconds. The speedometer shown in the software is also not as accurate as the one shown in my dashboard. So, do not try to follow what the device’s speed or else you will be driving at an inconsistent speed to catch up the constant speed.

Besides, it will always be wise to make a habit to switch it off once the navigation-assist is no longer required. I got myself having the device in my pocket heating and I thought it was going to explode, pun intended. But it will gets heated up.

Am trying to get Garmin installed on my omnia but have not got a chance in grabbing the software just yet. Besides, I have been busy with work. This post was planned to put up but have been delayed for a month since. Will try to post up more details and tips as well as photos when I got a chance soon.

Oh yeah, got myself certified as Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist in SQL Server 2005. It’s my first certification and aiming to get the developer cert. Hopefully will complete an exam in the next two to three months then.
