Pretend your Pocket PC is an iPod

by Jordan Running Dec 8th 2005

I can think of fifty reasons to make your Pocket PC act like an iPod, but none of them are very good. Nevertheless, J4L Tech has released a bit of software that "works exactly like an iPod" but runs on your Pocket PC, which is to say that it mimics the look of your iPod and its GUI on your handheld. Details are scarce, so I can't say whether it does photo or video functions or some of the iPod's more esoteric functions, but I'm sure there's someone out there who might find this useful.

Last time somebody tried this (a couple of years ago) Apple shut them down-- fast. Get it while you can!

This is flat out bootleg software. It was first made by StarBrite Ltd., which is now aparently defunct. The install even goes so far to package a keygen. This isn't the first time you guys have linked to illegal software... do you guys really want to be known as a warez site? Bush league stuff, guys. Check out the software before you link to it.

The guys here at work thought it was kinda cool. But we really didn't see any use in it, until one fellow said "have you tried putting an mp3 on there?" I threw some on my MMC card and...wow, that's cool.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
