Mobile Tech News -- New Games: Hexic and Mozaki, Mochasoft FTP, Video Ringtones

Astraware Launches Two Games from the Creator of Tetris

Astraware has released two games for Windows Mobile by famed Tetris designer, Alexey Pajitnov.

Hexic is a new twist on the match-three genre . It is deceptively simple to begin with - just rotate any trio of hexes in order to form a cluster of three or more same-color pieces - but a real challenge to master.

Mozaki is a classic strategy puzzler. Players grab a piece from the stack and place it on the board, connect pieces of the same color to make an unbroken line from the colored edge to the center of the screen, and connect the required number of lines and win the level.

Hexic and Mozaki are available for Windows Mobile and are priced at $9.95 each. For more information, to download a trial, or to buy, visit the Astraware website.

Mochasoft FTP Is Now Freeware

Mochasoft has made its Mochasoft FTP Windows Mobile application available as freeware, instead of being shareware. This allows wireless Windows Mobile devices to become file servers that can then be browsed to by other browser-based devices that share its network connection.

Some other features of Mochasoft FTP include:

• Supports standard FTP commands
• PASV command
• Portrait/landscape mode
• Anonymous login
• Real-time monitoring of users and commands
• up to 9 different users and 25 active sessions

Mochasoft FTP is compatible with Windows Mobile 2003, Windows Mobile 5, and Windows Mobile 6 devices. For more information, and to download, visit the Mochasoft FTP website.
