Razvan Dragomirescu, CTO of Simeda, wrote to let us know that the official version of Pocket Rendezvous, now branded as ‘Pocketster,’ has been released. Pocketster lets you set up a personal web server on your PocketPC, allowing, among other things, the streaming of MP3 files over WiFi, meaning that connected PocketPCs can become their own streaming networked radio stations. In addition, regular stuff like JPEGs and HTML can be shared, as well. Right now, the free version has been tested only on Windows Mobile 2003 devices (although it may work for Windows Mobile 2002), and messes around with some of the Pocket PC Zeroconf (zero configuration toll) settings to prevent your Pocket PC from trying to connect to your preferred network when Pocketster’s ad-hoc network is running. What I’m saying is, don’t mess around with this version of Pocketster unless you’re willing to potentially screw up (until you edit them back in) some of your wireless settings.
A soon-to-be-released version called ‘Pocketster Pro’ will allow you to join existing networks without creating an ad-hoc one (and without screwing up your settings) in a few weeks, presumably for pay (although Simeda doesn’t say for certain).
