Today, www.giveawayoftheday.com is making available Evernote Beta for free! Check it while you can — Of special note, one feature I think is great is it’s ability to index any notes you take (copy stuff from the web, take digital pictures of rebates/business cards/etc) and it can make any text in those images (even handwriting) and make it searchable / indexable!

Evernote Beta lets you capture any information from your real and digital life and then find it all easily anytime.
The latest version of Evernote, currently an invitation-only beta, gives users more options than ever before to create and find their memories - a Windows version (main download links), Mac version, Web version, Windows Mobile version, Mobile Web version, browser web page clippers, and more. All clients can be synchronized to one another via the web, ensuring that anything created in one place is accessible from all others.
In addition, all users now have access to Evernote’s powerful image recognition, which recognizes text inside of images so users can take camera phone snapshots of anything from whiteboards to wine labels.
Here’s a youtube video explaining what it can do:

Finally, a FREE and working desktop app to sync your outlook calendar with your google calendar! This is especially great news for windows mobile users (among any other applications that use an outlook calendar) cause now both gcal and outlook can sync up with your pda/phones! Now, if only there is a way to trigger a sync update when activesync syncs with a device..!

Just saw this posted on lifehacker, tried it out, and had to spread the word! This freeware smartphone app will turn your wifi enabled smartphone into a wifi router (ad-hoc, aka: computer-to-computer) — in other words, you can take your windows mobile phone, and if you have a data plan and wifi, you can have any other wifi device connect to it as if it were a router! I could definitely see this as being useful when my Comcast connection goes down and my roommates and I all need to have simple access to email and such until it goes back up! Not just that, but also if you have a laptop (or any device) that doesn’t have bluetooth to utilize the bluetooth internet sharing in wm6, you can just use this as devices are more likely to have Wifi than bluetooth.

As many sites have posted, google maps just recently released their new version (2.0.0) which now does location tracking based off cell phone towers! It’s not quite as accurate as a GPS based location, but as you can see from the pictures above, it’s pretty close!

I can’t express how excited I am over LogMeIn’s release of Hamachi for Windows Mobile (it may have been out for a while, but I just found out today)! This opens so many doors for connecting your pda/phone to your hamachi network.
for those who don’t know, hamachi is a free vpn client which can connect all your computers together as if they were on the same network, even when they’re not, onto their own virtual network (vpn). It works behind firewalls and creates a secure connection between all computers (read more about hamachi security framework here).

Ah, finally, att / htc has released the windows mobile 6 rom for the cingular 8525!
Download link from HTC: http://www.america.htc.com/support/8525/software-downloads.html

Discussions about the rom over at xda-developers.com: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340987
I have yet to install it myself, (yay classes!), but will update this post once I do — It seems as though some people are saying it’s actually the old rom, so lets hope for the best!
UPDATE: I just installed it, and at first glance, there isn’t much difference from the previous "unofficial" official wm6 rom release back in July…

Finally! Gmail finally offers IMAP support! Now I (you too, haha) can retrieve email via a method outside of webmail and have the read status show up in webmail as well! I have been waiting forever for this!
