Windows Mobile Support

View

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.

greetings,
is it possible seen as though the iPhone is able to be used as a remote via the safari web browser, is it possible to use say Internet Explorer on a iMate Jasjam Pocket PC Phone, to do the same sort of thing as can't get an iPone in New Zealand until 2008 :-( :-(

If this not possible is there going to be Windows Mobile Support anytime soon for this fantastic product, as am currently using Salling Clicker, but definitely see Remote Buddy as a by far better product

These entries from the FAQ may be relevant to this topic:

General

Can I run Remote Buddy under Windows®? Is there a Windows® version? (FAQ015E0214)
No. Remote Buddy is exclusively and only available for Mac OS® X.

Hardware - Apple® Remote

After uninstalling/quitting Remote Buddy, my Mac® no longer reacts to the Apple® Remote. (FAQ015E0241)
To enable you to use all capabilities of the IR Receiver of your Mac®, Remote Buddy is using its own driver. In contrast, all other applications with integrated Apple® Remote support usually use the OS X Apple® Remote subsystem.

As long as you're running Remote Buddy, Remote Buddy and its driver are responsible for turning the received button presses into actions. As soon as you quit Remote Buddy, this task is again handled by the OS X Apple® Remote subsystem.

If other applications don't use the interface to the OS X Apple® Remote subsystem correctly, this can lead to the effect that nothing happens when you press a button on your Apple® Remote. For as long as you're running Remote Buddy, issues like this are covered by Remote Buddy and it's driver and are therefore not visible to you. However, as soon as you quit Remote Buddy, the OS X Apple® Remote subsystem is back in control and any issues caused in it by other applications become visible.

Therefore Remote Buddy is neither the cause of the issue nor is it responsible for it. Instead, the cause of the issue exists independently of Remote Buddy. It's located elsewhere and can also only be solved there.

Although our products can't cause any such issues, we're regularly contacted about such issues and asked for help. In order to make locating and fixing the cause of such issues as easy and efficient as possible, we've developed a free diagnostics tool: Remote Control Diagnostics. It can locate issues with a single click and will provide you with information about the issue as well as with instructions on how you can fix it.

Hardware - iPhone™ / iPod® touch / AJAX Remote

Which devices and browsers are currently officially supported? (FAQ015E0190)
Currently, these browsers are officially supported by the AJAX Remote:
- Safari® on iPhone™ with OS 3.0 or later
- Safari® on iPod® Touch with OS 3.0 or later
- Safari® 4 or later
The AJAX Remote is using the latest web standards (like CSS3, which is often only supported sufficiently by Safari®) to utilize the available bandwidth and CPU power efficiently.

IMPORTANT: to use the AJAX Remote, your setup needs to meet all of the AJAX Remote requirements!
What are your plans regarding the iPhone™ SDK and a native application for iPhone™/iPod® Touch/iPad™? (FAQ015E0226)
Thanks for your interest in the future of Remote Buddy. Of course the iPhone™ SDK is also of interest to us.
Please understand, though, that we don't talk about future products or plans prior to to their close-to-complete-realization or release.

Hi!

Right now the AJAX Remote's HTML + JavaScript code are tailored to
work with Safari.

I must admit, that I'm not too keen on working with the Internet
Explorer, but I may be able to get access to a device that runs it
quite easily and do some tests.

Which other browsers are available for Windows Mobile?

Best regards,
Felix

Dont blame you at all for not really wanting to work with Internet Explorer.

There is Opera Mobile thats is in beta at the moment that fully supports AJAX/Web 2.0 Applications would be fanatastic if you could make work with Opera Mobile, heres the link

http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/

There is also Minimo which is a derived of Firefox which again supports AJAX and Web 2.0

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/

Would be absoluety marvelous if you could get to work with either of these browsers, am sure would be the only one keen to get something like this working on a Windows Mobile Device

Thanks for your efforts and brilliant, small but seriously highly functional and customizable program

Take Care

Thanks for the links!

I'll try to get access to a Pocket PC over the weekend and try Minimo
on it. Minimo looks most promising as it's both free and based on the
Mozilla engine, which works fine with the AJAX Remote already.

Best regards,
Felix

Consider this another vote for Windows Mobile support. You're almost there: most of the core features work in Opera Mobile and MiniMo. So long as your app obeys the principals of solid Web design—using flow, graceful degradation, good semantic structure—you'll be fine. No one expects it to look as good as the iPhone, we'd just prefer if all the functionality worked and there weren't horizontal scrollbars.
