Spb has announced the release of Spb Mobile Shell, a program designed to enhance the pocket PC user interface.
"The Pocket PC user interface has not been significantly changed for the last six years. Originally the Pocket PC was a PDA designed for stylus navigation and long but infrequent periods of general use. It has since evolved into many things, including a phone. Along the way, though the people who use a Pocket PC and the tasks it is made to perform have changed, the main interface has not. The goal of Spb Mobile Shell is to close this gap between the old Pocket PC interface and one people should expect from such a smart, modern and powerful device."
A 14 day trial download is available, and you can learn more at the Spb web site by clicking the link below.

Didiom is a new service that allows your to preview, purchase, and send music from a Windows Mobile based device.
"Rather than maintaining our own giant music library, Didiom takes the music request you send to us from your wireless, searches participating online music stores, tells you what we find, and quickly delivers the music files over the air once you've purchased them. And because Didiom is currently designed to work on Windows Mobile wireless devices that utilize high-speed networks such as 3G and Wi-Fi, you use your wireless and your internet access at your convenience."
