genwap.com has been launched. It’s a PDA and Smartphone-friendly mirror of MobileGenealogy.com.
It will provide very basic genealogy software news and information, that can be easily viewed on a PDA or Smartphone.
Although it is not in a WAP format at this time, it can still be easily accessed by any PDA/Smartphone browser.
For general genealogy content and information (including databases) in a PDA/Smartphone-friendly format, please refer to Illya D’Addezio’s Mobile Genealogy Information Website. Although we are not associated with Illya D’Addezio, we highly recommend his site to PDA/Smartphone users.
If you notice any errors or have any suggestions on improvements for genwap.com, feel free to contact us

PocketPC Magazine Renamed
August 18, 2005 by Administrator · Comments Off
By way of Aximsite.com, we’ve learned that PocketPC magazine is going to be renamed to Smartphone & Pocket PC.
From the press release:
Now once again in 2005, because of projections for explosive Smartphone growth, a major market shift has taken place. The newest incarnation of the Windows CE-based handheld operating system called Windows Mobile 5 provides PDAs and Smartphones a similar look and functionality. Therefore, starting with the 2006 Buyer�s Guide on newsstands in November, Pocket PC becomes Smartphone & Pocket PC.
It will still be seen on the web at PocketPCMag.com. They’ve been very good about mentioning genealogy software, with reviews, and including ‘Genealogy’ as a software category in their ‘Best Software Awards’ issues. Hopefully they will continue the same.
