hi everyone i recently purchased a tilt and am having a blast with it. I have owend a few ppc's in the past started with an compaq ipaq 3650, so im in no way new to windows mobile.

I have never used rss feeds before but figured it would be really cool to subscribe to some now that i have a pda which is always online. So the feeds work just fine in outlook on my laptop. Im running vista with windows mobile device center and office 2007 enterprise. Anyways when i sync up it lists my rss feeds in outlook mobile but there all empty. What could be causing this?

Btw this seems like a really nice site im glad i found it. XDA is pretty informative but i hate asking questions over there if i cant find an answer to what im researching, there just not very friendly.

I use an rss reader on the phone instead...

Ilium newsbreak is my one of choice (as it has support for podcasts) but SPB insight, pocket egress and newsgator are also worth looking at.

So i started using rss hub i think its made by ilium also. Anyways you said you downloaded podcasts, do you ever get video podcasts? I tried to get geekbrief and G4's attack of the show and they are pretty hi quality compared to you tube but they are very choppy and the sound doesnt sync with the video. Do you have this problem? You think its the driver issue?

I tried to ask this question on Xda and was told to buy an iphone by a senior member. I seriously dont understand why those people are so snarky about everything. Sorry im not trying to bash them im just a little upset at how rude people can be becuase there online and theres no accountability.

It seems to depend on the video... JC Hutchins 7th son Obsidian podcast has videos that play fine (using Coreplayer) 7S: Obsidian | J.C. Hutchins' 7th Son: OBSIDIAN (Current Shows)

(if you haven't heard it already... then start at book1, it's a truely awesome techno thriller)

On the other hand the TMBG video podcast for kids is really slow an horrible....


XDA is a useful site, but it's very techie and they seem to object if a question is asked more than once... It seems to be the culture of the site, I lurk but don't post there. They've got an awesome amount of information but we're a much friendlier bunch over here

So i checked out the jc hutchins stuff htttp://feeds.feedburner.com/jchutchins or something very close to that url is what i subscribed to. I haven't really checked out much of the feeds yet just wanted to try the video. So i downloaded and watched down the radio it was somewhat like g4's podcasts The video was silky smooth good quality (geekbrief was just really laggy and stuttery unbearable) but the audio was way off. However im using media player not coreplayer. Is media player a bad solution for videos, do you use core player for that reason? My last ppc was a dell i didnt do much video watching on that but i did on my original ipaq and i rember using pocketdivx and pocketTV i dont really recall if it was becuase media player broke.

When i bought this thing i wasnt planing on watching vids a whole lot. I never even watched them on my Axim i bought my ipaq 3650 when i was like 17 to play quake on and just got into videos because i thought it was cool. In all reality though i really don't care about watching full length movies or shows on on my pda. It just sord of pointless, if i have that much time on my hands i probably have a laptop, desktop, or tv near me. Although im really excited about these little podcasts and maybe being able to watch like dl.tv and G4 clips on the phone when im wating or the passenger in a car. I must say i sorda got over the ppc thing for a long time, but having the tilt is amazing broadband speed on a ppc is the greastest thing in along time.

Im pretty pumped about listening to this podcast im gonna get a headphone jack adapter for the tilt so i can listen to these books as i drive. Also if your into techno/geeky storys you should check out a book called American Gods by Neil Gamin (the guy who wrote sandman comics) also a movie called hackers 2, the title is a little misleading it is in no way a sequel to the angelina jolie movie from the mid 90s. Its a pretty cool movie about kevin mitnick seems like a pretty good cross between fiction and real life.
