Become GPU and be the first to get new Glofiish devices!

Well Well... Eten came up with something new and exciting. A chance to become GPU (Golden Power User - I think this is a part of Asian business culture, if something does not have Golden, Star or Dragon in it's name it will not work). Becoming GPU will give you access to early development models of devices and your opinion will influence final design of hardware and software installed.

Hopefully this program will work and those of us, who are lucky enough to get this magic GPU status will make final product much less buggy at release time.

If you are interested, please register here. Good luck!

New Glofiish models, M810 and M750 officially announced

Finally, M750 and M810 are offically announced by E-ten!

E-ten calls these models "fun" Pocket PCs "that put the focus on portable entertainment, dynamic social
networking, and go-anywhere communications ideal for the web 2.0
generation."

I believe that the amount of the buzzwords in the official announcement is way to high and I really hope that E-ten can deliver this time and will not make all of it's true believers suffer waiting for new models.

PIM Backup: A great little tool to backup your contacts, SMS messages

I used to use simple Outlook Synchronization to backup all my contact information, tasks and calendar before making ROM upgrade on my X500, it was easy but missed some nice features like SMS backup, which is important. When I moved to Linux one task I did not manage to do is to make Multisync work with my Glofiish so I was stuck and could not do any working backup (the software provided by Eten sometimes did not work for me and once left me without all my contact information after upgrade).

Today I found a little free utility, which is doing a great job in backing up all PIM onfo, including SMS and even Call logs and Speed Dial list. This nice little tool has an obvious name: PIM Backup and can be downloaded from author page.

New ROM released for Glofiish X500 & M700, at the moment in Russian only.

X500 and M700 had no ROM updates since the initial release of WM6 version in May 2007, and this ROM had a number of issues addressed in some home-made ROM versions. Now Eten Corp has finally released and official updated version of it, fixing some old issues like disappearing POP3 boxes and PIN codes, but at the moment I could only find it in Russian language, here are the links:

EUU_X500_RUS_R01_032_0438_WM6.EXE

EUU_M700_RUS_R01_052_0439_WM6_XP.EXE

Both versions feature:

OS Version 1620
Fix for disappearing PIN after reset
Fix for disappearing GPRS signal
Fix for disappearing GPRS settings after reset
Fix for disappearing POP3 settings after reset
SDHC support
number of minor fixes

If you happen to know where is it possible to get an English version of these ROM versions, please let me know!
