Xperia V O I C E C O M M A N D it's Awesome

No, it's not a free app. WM 6 spec supports it but you need to purchase it AFAIK.

need urgent help guys.
i purchased the software, but i can't install it.
i transfered the file to the phone and tried to launch it from there.
But nope.

......i use a mac.

[Rudegar]

if it's an exe file it's not ment to be installed from the phone itself
it's an pc application which automaticly use activesync to get the cab files down to the pda and install it there

one thing you can try is to rename it from exe to zip on your mac
and see if it's just a self extracting zip file most activesync install files are and then you can copy the arm cab file out and copy that to your pda
and run it there

or you can install xp on bootcamp and use activesync normaly

Windows Mobile Sync Software - synchronize Mac with Windows Mobile device using SyncMate

Hey guys. an update on this.
I managed to install it. Used my mate's PC.
Syncmate can only deal with .CAB files. and this was a .exe.

So got it up and running and...........IT IS AWESOMENESS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND.
Now i talk to my phone.

We're best friends.

We share secrets..

lol neowakko, sorry I didn't know about syncmate being incompatible with exes as "I'm a PC"

I'm looking forward to playing with it.

[neowakko]

yea but for .cab files, its a drag-an-drop installation.
oh. important note: i had to purchase the full version of syncmate for app installations and stuff.
still have no idea how to install a .exe from a mac

It's cool and definitely advanced, but I don't think I'd ever use it... And would never pay for it.

[amanda888]

That's cool, but i wouldn't pay for it, even though it's really responsive. And why would you touch a button to tell it to go to the next track, when you could have just touched the "next" button on the phone. I understand it's for illustration purposes, but seems redundant to me. ) haha

One of the key benefits of the software is it works via BT headset so if you have your phone tucked away or if you have a bag in one hand etc, rather than navigating to a number etc, you can just say "call bob on mobile".

I agree that using it to skip songs is a bit lazy but can be useful when on the go. Likewise, if you've just installed a new app, you can just say "start (app)" to check it out before setting up a shortcut etc.
