Much work is going on behind the scenes around here and the next week is going to be even busiest. Since I’m an expert at making things at the last minute , yesterday I’ve been able to send my participation dossier for the Italian contest Premio Palinsesto Italia containing the latest 1.4 beta version of Ecpc and a preview of the desktop PC version with the same interface of the Pocket PC one, although I use it only for development purposes since the final desktop PC version will have a better and extended user interface.
Finally a contest with some money for the winners, something that might be a vital lymph for my next projects if my submission will pass the selections and go up to the final round. Let’s hope for the best, finger crossed!
I even got my first Smartphone this week, a nice Motorola MPx200. I don’t like the shell design, but I must say that the integration of e-mail, SMS, MMS, Outlook contacts and so on surprised me positively. It only needs a stylus!
And considering that it’s very similar to a Pocket PC from a development point of view, you might expect a Smartphone version of Ecpc well before the desktop PC one.
If you like to read my blog and you check it out for updates every now and then I suggest you to use the great Mozilla Firefox browser and setup up a weekly check on my site in the bookmark manager. Tabbed browsing and an efficient bookmark management are the killer features which made me to switch from Internet Explorer to Firefox as the default browser. Give it a try.
Another quick news: I’ll make a test of the revolutionary BatteryLife Activator.

Update: since version 1.0 of Firefox the development team discarded the notify option in the bookmark manager since it was buggy. I really hope to see it again, or maybe provided by some extension plug-in.
