I’m happy to announce that the portuguese translation of Ecpc is almost complete, as you can see on the Wishlist page, and I’ve already started working on the next 1.3 release.

I’ve also updated the Links page adding a few new websites who published the last Ecpc press release, such as Nederlandse Pocket PC-club, on which followed some nice comments you can read in dutch obviously. 😉

Then in the Reviews page I’ve added a short news about Ecpc appeared in the november issue of the italian magazine Il Mio Palmare, which is only an anticipation of what you’ll find in the december issue, and finally I’ve added the positive comment wrote by Heiko Heubach on Pocketland.de.

That’s all for now! 🙂

As the work on the forum is progressing I’ve taken some time to update the Magazine Reviews section with a nice article about Ecpc appeared on the october issue of the french magazine Palmtops.

I’ve also added a new question to the FAQ page and most importantly I’ve built a table in the Wishlist page to show the status of the translations of Ecpc in the various european languages, as long as the names of  people taking care of them.

Would you like to join them translating Ecpc in the language of your country? 😉

As you can see in the Download&Buy page Ecpc version 1.2 is now available also from the german e-shop Pocketland.de, an important reference point for german speaking europeans. 🙂

Collecting translations is not as easy as collecting Euro coins, but as you can read on Mipcdebolsillo, a website managed by Julio Meneses, it seems I’ve found someone who can help translating Ecpc into spanish language.

Also, thanks to the announcement of the new release appeared on Aximsite, Wannahave, a forum moderator, will translate Ecpc into dutch.

Very good then, but the translation in french is very high priority now since it has been delayed for too long, unfortunately!

I think this release is mature enough for some serious reviews, so I’ll be actively searching for interested reviewers.

Wannahave for example is already planning to write one for Aximsite. 😉

Ecpc version 1.2 has just been released and you can review the list of the improvements in the Updates page! 🙂

To understand that this is a big release you should take a look at the new features, which also include the complete translation in german!

I’ve also made minor updates to some pages of the website and uploaded my updated collection files in the Swapping page.

I wanted to open the Forum at the same time of the announcement of the new release, but I’ve still a lot of work to properly configure and customize it, so I’ll open it in a few days.

Meanwhile, enjoy the new release! 🙂

Yesterday has been one of the most incredible days of my life!

Not only I won the Cellulari.it Special Award during the 1st Mobile Fun Awards organized by the magazine Wireless for the Mobile Fun Forum 2003, but also the national TV channel La7 recorded the award ceremony and later they even interviewed the winners, including me with Euro coins pocket collector on my Pocket PC!!!

Update: La7 did not broadcast the recording of the event, alas.

I’ll keep you updated on the press coverage of the event, which will include downloadable videos from the website and I can already say there’s much more to come!

This may turn into the market exposure I was in real need of… some managers from Toshiba, Palm, the italian QQAAXX and HP ( here not in a casual order 😉 ) were much more pleased to hear my sponsorship proposals after I won the award.

I even met some of Trecision ex-coworkers there, who did loud cheers during the prize-giving, but I was too deeply stirred to understand they came from them. 🙂

The prize-giving occurred at the end of a long morning with many presentations about the great opportunities of the mobile market in Italy.

The presentation of Enrico of Pocket PC Italia, which took place in the afternoon, was the most interesting one since he talked about wireless connectivity on Pocket PCs and Smartphones and showed some amazing hardware like the new XDA 2, two new Smartphones and the latest GPS Navigation software.

I caught a bit of flue, but this great satisfaction makes me forget it, and it better be this way since I’ve got a lot of work to do and I have to be fine for this friday…

Here’s a scan of the plate of the award:

The transition to the new hosting on a Canadian provider is completed and I think I won’t have no more space or bandwidth problems, at least for the next months. 😉

I want to celebrate that by opening the Reviews page, in which you can find all the comments and articles about Ecpc published so far, not only by printed magazines, but also by users.

Expect to see more being added shortly.

Now I’m getting ready for the Mobile Fun Forum 2003 of tomorrow in Milan with trepidation, since it could be a very important day.

Fingers crossed! 🙂

I’m setting up the new hosting for the website in this very moment.

I hope it’ll be a fast and smooth operation, but the DNS address change may cause the site to be not available in the next few days.

In the meantime I’d like to welcome the opening of a new website about Euro coins by Heiko Heubach, the kind german who translated Ecpc in his language.

Heiko used the text he translated for the coins descriptions, so that’s a sort of preview of what you’ll find in the incoming version 1.2 of Ecpc. 😉

I’ve already added his website, Euro-Muenzen.net, in the Resources page. Check it out!
