  • The Receiving channel

    Interesting. It looks like new content downloads are now handled through a channel I didn't know I had - the Receiving channel.

  • The first application to forward e-mail to your SPOT watch

    A lot of people were disappointed that MSN Direct doesn't allow you to send e-mail to your watch. So somebody seems to have come up with a solution - a custom application that can get e-mail from a POP3 account, delete it from there, get the first 100 characters, and send the message to your SPOT watch...
