According to this press release, a multi-year agreement between Sony Ericsson and QuickOffice has been signed to provide all future Sony Ericsson smartphones with QuickOffice, which they said is the leading provider of mobile office software and solutions. Pfffttt … (more…)
You guys know how I love PIM apps especially when it’s done with usability in mind. I’ve posted about DreamLife when it was first announced during this year’s Smartphone Show and it is almost ready for primetime. For UIQ 3 users, the alternatives to the built-in Calendar are AquaCalendar and the recently announced (but utterly disappointing and poorly designed) Agendus. We dont have Handy Calendar or Papyrus or Agenda Fusion or Pocket Informant to toy around with. And to tell the truth, this is where I think some brilliant-minded Aussies in DreamSpring led by Malcolm Lithgow realised that the big hole needs to be filled in.
Dusan Belic of Intomobile was lucky enough to attend UIQ Fast Track event in Budapest, Hungary and had some stuff to report to us as well. Here are the summary of his reports :

You have to visit all the links above to understand what really happens. As for me, I’m kinda felt left out because most Symbian/UIQ related events are held either in Europe or States and not South East Asia…. 
To UIQ PR Department… I’ve been blogging about UIQ stuff earlier than anybody else on the planet … Hahahaha
The award winning MMplayer is a multimedia player with support for various media formats such as OGG, AVI, MP4, MPEG, etc. Previously available for Palm OS 5 only, it has now been ported to Symbian UIQ 3 and S60 3rd Edition. Head over to its official web site for more information and download. (more…)
Those of you who longed for a universal search utility for UIQ 3 smartphone, should rejoice because you can enjoy Easy Search and frankly, I like it very much and it’s one of those apps where you will use it when you really need it. Head over to AllAboutSymbian to read my thoughts about it. Definitely recommended
I followed the development of this app closely and I must say that what the developer (CellphoneSoft) did was really impressive. Linkboy is essentially an application launcher or shortcuts if you prefer… to launch not only applications but some other things as well like Control Panel stuff without going to dig into the Main Menu (Application Launcher) and opening Control Panel to find the stuff that we want.
One of the ‘missing link’ in UIQ 3 applications is the display of calendar stuff on the main screen. Especially in the P990. In Sony Ericsson’s UIQ 3 smartphones, the main screen is called ‘Activity Menu’. Dont ask me why… However, on M600, W950, P1 & W960, the Activity Menu is improved, you can configure them to display some calendar stuff together with other infos. (more…)
It’s hard to find developers who are willing to loose some sleeps in order to give us UIQ 3 users something different to make our devices more useful. How many freeware UIQ 3 developers who released free software for us and keep on improving their apps? I can only recall GDesk, Free Swiss Manager, Malcolm Bryant, AnotherGuest, … who else?
Now, this one developer you guys should keep track. His Google hosted porject page - The Bergamot Project - Open source for Symbian/UIQ currently hosts 2 applications. Swim and PodcastPlayer.
I respect this guy for developing new and interesting stuff. Please guys… Show your support. Give him feedbacks after testing his apps…
And while you are looking at his website, dont forget to check his future project, porting S60 Browser to UIQ 3! Simply, he said “……because UIQ needs a decent web browser… Bring it on!!!!
