Palringo: A fresh IM client for mobile devices.

Well, I ran across a nice new, if only to me, IM client for Windows Mobile, among other devices.  I found out about it on this article on Gizmodo.  I’m expecting a ‘pay us’ message to pop up at some point.. Just like Agile did to me, jerks. In many respects, Palringo is a lot like Agile Mobile.  It’s got a ‘push to talk’ feature that sends a link to whatever sound byte you record on the fly.  It will also send pictures, just click the button, capture the picture, and return to the app, it’ll already be sending a link to the photo to your contact.  Very slick overall.  It has support for all the big chat services, I’ve currently got it configured for AIM, GTalk, ICQ, and MSN.  It’s running well at the moment.  My Sprint Mogul’s Unlimited EVDO connection is the only reason I’d want to be online everywhere, all the time…. because I can.

Specific to the Sprint Mogul, I had to make a registry change for the connection to function properly.  Prior to which, Reconnect Pending was displayed on the screen.  This article provided the info, but here’s the change:

[[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A3 8-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\Sprint PCS Vision]
“AlwaysOn”=dword:00000001

Also worthy of noting, you can download the cab directly from their mobile version of the site.

One-Click Installs are a thing of beauty.

And thus, I devote the first post to you dreamhost.  My one and only web host.  I hope that it’s simplicity pays homage to your nature, and that the total lack of information contain herein is of no consequence.  From the bottom of my bit bucket,  I :heart: you.  At least, until today, when you started sending me Internal Server Errors instead of the HTML I ask for.  What’s the deal?
