Office Mobile 6.1 priced at $50

Office Mobile 6.1
Microsoft finally released an updated version of Office Mobile with support for Office 2007 documents yesterday. That means Windows Mobile 5.0/6 users can finally open and edit DOCX, PPTX, and XLSX files. Office Mobile 6.1 is a free upgrade for some users, but others will have to fork out some cash if they want the latest and greatest. This is the first time Microsoft has sold a version of Office Mobile directly to consumers.

Up until now it was unclear how much Microsoft would be charging. But now that you can pick up a copy of Office Mobile 6.1 at Handango, we finally know the price: $50. And we're a bit ambivalent. On the one hand, this is a bargain basement price compared to Office 2007 for the desktop. On the other hand, nobody would ever mistakes Office Mobile for Office 2007. It's a stripped down version of the application meant for working on the go.

So how do you know if you need to pay for Office Mobile 6.1 or if it's a free upgrade?
  • If you have a version of Windows Mobile 6 that includes Office Mobile, you can upgrade for free.
  • If you have a version of Windows Mobile 6 that did not ship with Office Mobile, say goodbye to $50.
  • If you have a version of Windows Mobile 5.0 that came with Office Mobile, you may be able to upgrade for free, but some users with older devices have reported that they are unable to install the upgrade.
  • If you have a version of Windows Mobile 5.0 that does not include Office Mobile, you're out of luck.
  • If you're using Windows Mobile 2003SE or earlier, Microsoft would prefer to think you don't exist recommend upgrading to a newer unit.

Get Agendus for Windows Mobile free today only

Agendus 1.05Looking for a good replacement for the built-in contacts, calendar, and tasks applications on your Windows Mobile PDA or phone, but don't feel like shelling out $20 to $30? Handango's got you covered. Well, today anyway.

The mobile software store is offering up a free copy of Agendus for Windows Mobile today only. Agendus is a popular personal information manager that made a name for itself on PalmOS. Last year, Iambic decided to port the application to Windows Mobile.

While it may not have the name recognition of Agenda Fusion or Pocket Informant, Agendus does pack a bunch of features missing from Windows Mobile's default PIM suite. For example, you get more detailed week and month views, icons, and better integration of tasks, calendar, and contacts.

Usually a full license would set you back $25.

Get CodeWallet Pro for free today only - Mobile Minute

CodeWallet ProHandango is giving away free copies of Developer One's CodeWallet Pro 6 for Windows Mobile today. CodeWallet Pro is a password and personal information manager for PDAs and Smartphones. Need to carry around a dozen different credit card numbers, computer logins, and other passwords in a secure package? CodeWallet provides encrypted, password-protected storage.

CodeWallet would normally set you back $20 to $30, but Handango seems to be giving away a free program every Friday. The download process is pretty convoluted, and you have to give up some personal information to get the free download. But that's the way these things usually go.

If CodeWallet's not your thing, it's not the only mobile wallet application on the market. You might want to check out eWallet ($30) and CryptoCard (free).

CodeWallet Pro 6 will run on Windows Mobile 2003SE and newer devices, even though the download link indicates that you need Windows Mobile 5.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

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, ...
