After hot dicussion in the past days on mobileread forum,the hacking of Kindle International becomes possible, at last. :)

Firstly, it was done by jyavenard, who introduced a reallyreally smart solution without hardware modifications. 
Blogkindle's description of this method is:" Unfortunately Amazon did use the asymmetric encryption to sign the packages. …… Kindle doesn’t use just one key to verify the signature – it enumerates all key files in /etc/uks directory and if any of the keys yields a positive signature validation – the file passes the test. So Jean-Yves Avenard created a tarbomb that would add extra public key to that directory."

Also, he has updated the script for hacks generation, along with his private/public key pair. So it's suggested to use ONLY this key pair to make other hacks, avoiding users from Jaibreaking their kindle again and again....

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step.1 Jaibreak the Kindle international, download update_freekindle-k2i.bin (or from my site's update_freekindle-k2i).
    Copy the file update_freekindle.bin on the Kindle USB disk ; then:
    go to HOME
    MENU -> Settings
    MENU -> Update Your Kindle
    DO NOT SELECT RESTART, or you will brick your Kindle 
    (though there's a way to get out of that infinite reboot)
    That update will fail ! (Error 004). This is normal. Then, it's done.
Step.2 Now we can install hacks just as before. Jean-Yves Avenard also made new version of ScreenSaver Hack & Savory Hack. (My mirror)
Step.3 Check the Unicode Hack from blogkindle, he also made a anti-brick hack, take a look :)

Windows Mobile Team Blog 放出了帖子，题为"just say no to GAPI"

大致的意思是，“可以跟GAPI说再见了”，因为之前5.0开始力推DirectDraw，
他们认为GAPI遗留的“唯一”用途就是获取按键输入。

而现在公开了可以完全替代GAPI按键输入接口的函数AllKeys()

并且，实际上GAPI的按键功能就是通过调用AllKeys实现的，而AllKeys其实历史与GAPI一样悠久
换言之，PocketPC 2003以后的版本其实都支持这个新公开的函数，而不需要使用GAPI来实现按键输入功能。

所以，MS的观点是，以后的王道是DirectDraw+AllKeys，而不是大家熟悉的GAPI

“……for the next generation of Windows Mobile, Windows Mobile 6.5.  Although some devices may still support GAPI, there is no longer a requirement for device manufacturers or mobile operators to ship or test for compatibility with GAPI.  This means that applications that require GAPI will provide an unpredictable experience for users on Windows Mobile 6.5 devices.

Another important change is that acceptance to the Windows Marketplace for Mobile and Designed for Windows Mobile certification requires no application dependencies on GAPI.”

GAPI不再被要求是WM 6.5产品的必备函数，微软对于软件的相关认证也将要求不依赖GAPI。。。
（就是用各种杠杆推动换代）

当然，MS对于DirectDraw的推动和对于GAPI的抛弃，一直有广泛的技术讨论和争议
核心问题是1、DirectDraw不够快 2、DirectDraw中无法获知自己失去焦点 3、文档匮乏，MS例程都有错

所以，大家的共识是，DirectDraw可以被华丽的忽略，商业用户用获奖产品GapiDraw，平民用户用PocketHAL，嗯哪

想在PC上控制你的手机(PPC)、玩小游戏、抓屏？

以前的rCE是个免费的小工具，很好用，但是WM5以后的似乎都不兼容了，也不见原作者更新。。。

几天发现MY MOBILER（http://www.mtux.com/）超级好用，也是个免费的小工具 呵呵

跟俺的Diamond配合的很好。。。

突然发现在VS2005里不能使用wizard新建SmartDevice的工程了

总是提示失败，在状态栏显示"Project Creation Failed"

很是郁闷，查了查发现是安装IE7的原因

The key problem is in Internet Explorer 7, and its project dialog.
The solution is to add a new entry in the registry:

open
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\PreApproved
add
{D245F352-3F45-4516-B1E6-04608DA126CC}

嗯 还是比较不错的,outlook的内容当然很方便就可以同步到手机上,但是出门在外的时候呢?

呵呵 可以用一些第三方的工具, 方便地使用google的calendar, 实现outlook、手机、google日程的一致

"找到两个软件，功能差不多，都是通过网络同步Google日历和手机里的windows mobile日历。他们分别是GooSync 和 GMobileSync ，都装上试了一下，说说感觉。

GMobileSync用的时候很不爽，第一次同步的时候就出错了，时间乱了，感觉是时区的问题，但是我设置过时区了呀，第一印象很不好。

GooSync 就没发现这个现象，同步效果很好，免费软件，但是高级用户还可以同步任务和联系人。不过我基本上用不上。"

我试用的感觉也是一样的,GMobile会把日程同步乱 设了时区也没用

相对GooSync比较好用, GooSync的收费服务虽然可以同步联系人和任务,但是比较贵

(当然,还有一个工具是oggSync,没有试用过,据说也有一些小问题)
