Minimo 0.2 released

by Brad Linder Mar 29th 2007

Last time we checked in on the Minimo project, the Windows Mobile web browser was in its infant stages. Now, with the release of version 0.2, it might be safe to call this little guy a toddler.

The version of Internet Explorer that comes with Windows Mobile tends to be a bit on the anemic side. Pages are slow to load, and there's no support for tabbed browsing.

Minimo is not an official Mozilla project, but it is hosted on Mozilla.org. The browser takes many cues from Firefox, and the browser tabs even look like Firefox tabs.

Unfortunately, the latest release is only available for Windows Mobil 5.0 and newer devices. The Minimo team recommends anyone with an older model download version 0.16.

WOW! This is awesome! I've been using minimo for a while and thought it was abandoned. Now I can stop using IE or Opera for the PDA.

Does this work on Windows Mobile 5 smartphones or is it only for PocketPC? I got an error when trying to install it on my Dash.

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.
