Vodafone adds a custom Windows Mobile interface to Treo 500v

Palm Treo 500vFirst Palm goes and preloads Windows Mobile onto Palm Treo smartphones and Palm purists die a little inside. Now it looks like Vodafone has decided to tweak the heck out of the Windows Mobile interface for the upcoming launch of the Treo 500v and Windows Mobile purists are... well, we're not really sure. The streamlined interface does look like it could make some tasks simpler while others could be needlessly more complicated.

Vodafone is calling the new menu system Vodafone TPP. Basically it's a side-scrolling method for flipping through Windows Mobile applications and web services.

The start menu doesn't look anything like your typical Windows Mobile start menu (or your Windows desktop start menu either for that matter). There are also new "main menu" and "application" menus for launching programs.

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, ...
