Microsoft release Office Mobile 6.1 (for real this time)
A few months ago, Microsoft accidentally published the download link for an updated version of Office Mobile and then quickly removed the file, which had not been meant for public release yet.But now it looks like Office Mobile 6.1 is ready for prime time. If you've got a Windows Mobile 5.0 or Windows Mobile 6 phone or PDA, you'll want to grab this update.
The update is free for anyone who has an existing copy of Office Mobile, which should cover most Windows Mobile users. it adds support for Office 2007 documents including DOCX, XLSX and PPTX files. There's also enhanced viewing capabilities for Excel Mobile, the ability to add SmartArt in PowerPoint Mobile. Users can also view and extract files from ZIP folders.
If you don't have a previous version of Office Mobile, you can buy a full version of Office Mobile 6.1. This is the first time Microsoft will be offering a full version of Office Mobile for sale. We can't find a purchase link right now, so we're not sure how much Microsoft will be charging for Office Mobile 6.1 But odds are you can get it for free anyway.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

I attempted the upgrade on my iPAQ HX2495b with Windows Mobile 5. The install reported "Office Mobile 6.1 is not compatible with Windows Mobile 5 powered devices running builds earlier than 14847." Mine is 14366.1.0.1. No updates are listed on the HP support website, and, naturally, HP Support is clueless as to any updates. Anybody out there have a contact at HP that can make this happen? At least a way to register the request?
