Foursquare Beta NOT Working

Okay, this morning I've seen some Facebook status from friends in different places using Foursquare to check-in their locations so I thought "hmmm.... looks fun!" So I downloaded it and installed using the Marketplace. 

When I launched it, it required me to login which means I have to register. So I registered using Facebook to register. Quite cool coz I don't need to enter most of my information. Then they asked me for a login name which is the email address and a password, so I did i.

After verifying everything etc... etc... I logged in on my mobile and VOILA! It didn't work.

Next thing I did was look it out at Google and check what could be wrong. It seems there are quite a number of people who can't sign-in. One particular person I saw was using the same phone as I am using Omnia i8000 or Omnia 2. So my theories as to why it didn't work are:

Omnia i8000 is not supported.

Foursquare doesn't use WiFi only GPRS packages or whatever is not free.

Whatever the reasons, I am not going to check it out anymore - Foursquare UNINSTALLED!

i-Nigma Barcode Reader and Barcode Creator

From 3GVision, a bar-code reader that is currently the best one available as Freeware in Windows mobile application. I've tried and it is by far the best that I've tried. You can even try and make your own barcode using their very own online barcode creator. You can visit this link. With the link provided, you can embed a URL redirecting to your site. It's quite useful if you have a personal website. Just put a QR code to your business card and when it is scanned using I-Nigma, they'll be redirected to you site - cool isn't it.

Just go to their website and download the latest version - click here. By the way, check-out the encoded message below that is made from i-nigma website as well. Use i-nigma app to reveal the message. By the way it works great with my Omnia 2.

SPB Streaming Radio Application

While browsing Microsoft's Marketplace for a streaming radio application, I found a 30-day Trial SPB Radio Application and was thrilled at its performance. I've also tried Resco's Radio Application and I can really say that SPB's streaming radio app is way much better with regards to its interface and ease-of-use. 

The only downside for SPB Radio is that they don't have the streaming radios station from the Philippines that I really like. I was able to listen to the Philippine Sreaming Radio Stations while using Resco's app. With Resco's app, I can't find any setting or url for the radio stations that I like but with SPB, you can set each of the streaming radios in your list.

Here are SPB Radio's features:
