Smartphone

The two screenshots below are the first signs of an upcoming release of Adobe’s Photoshop mobile:

Before anybody goes bonkers: this is NOT a photo editor, but rather a basic photo viewer/photo uploader that uses the Photoshop name for publicity reasons.

The program will initially support a few Q9 and BlackJack models along with Palm’s Treo 7xx series. It is said to drop “as a free download in September”…

Skype is my favorite VoIP program. They have smart communication solutions for your PCs and smartphones. Version 2.2.0.44 has been released for all Windows Mobile Smartphones.

Using Skype is really so simple and I guess everyone of us have had at least one Skype conversation so far. If you want to use it on your phone to make longer and almost free calls, then you need to change/upgrade your current phone to a Windows Mobile phone. And since you might change your phone, make sure you get a 3G phone with WiFi support if you don’t mind. You need good speed to successfully make Skype calls.You will need at least 12MB of memory space on it to install it or 6MB if you are installing it from a memory card.

I said almost free calls as you will be charged for data usage so maybe an upgrade to an unlimited data plan is also required. No matter how you talk to your friends and family you are still paying for it. There’s no exactly free calling. Whether is the unlimited data plan or the regular calls charges, the carriers will still squeeze some money out of you.

Imagineng, Inc. introduces “Memic List software for Windows Mobile devices”. Memic List combines a simplified voice recognition approach with the capabilities of smart phones to expand how people list. The resulting mobile phone utility affords people a new luxury to list when needed and have lists at hand.

Imagineng, Inc. introduces “Memic List software for Windows Mobile devices”. Memic List combines a simplified voice recognition approach with the capabilities of smart phones to expand how people list. The resulting mobile phone utility affords people a new luxury to list when needed and have lists at hand.

Memic List can open your lists and add or review items with voice recognition commands like ‘add item’ or ‘review items’. A small number of voice commands means you’re quickly proficient and recognition results are good. The utility of the software lies in its “flexibility to list in a variety of situations”. “Items can be saved as voice recordings inside lists” to offer a mobile alternative to keypad data entry. When adding voice items “the software recognizes the end of speech and automatically trims recordings to reduce file sizes”. “Text data entry is available but voice recording items becomes the preferred method”. Either text or voice items can be reviewed with voice commands.

Acquiring the cadence of voice listing will require a little sit down practice before becoming effortless. A brief pause is needed before speaking to allow the voice recognition code to sample and filter out background noise. Once the rhythm of voice commands becomes natural you’ll find yourself updating lists frequently and enjoy that those lists are readily available on your phone. While text based information is faster to review there is merit to easily capturing list ideas on your phone and in a variety of mobile settings. The software requires no voice training prior to use. Context sensitive commands are displayed at the bottom of the screen to assist in learning and an option allows that display to be removed when no longer needed. A fast choice control speeds data entry so voice items can be added and reviewed with minimal voice instructions.
Imagineng uses the talent of jazz vocalist Lorraine Feather for many command prompts. “The voice is pleasant and a good contrast to the digitized voice” used to provide application specific information.
Memic List is designed and “certified for Windows Mobile 6 Standard, Professional, and Classic devices” and available for download at http://www.voicerecognitionlists.com.
Contractors, housewives, and professionals can all benefit from this new approach to list management. Environment conscious consumers will find solace in a product that can help reduce driving yet consumes no raw materials to produce, requires no brick and mortar production facility, and has no shipping overhead. Merely download Memic List to a Windows Mobile phone and begin listing often and effectively.

I’m on a quick trip and I had a long drive yesterday with only a short distance traveled because of rain, a couple of car accidents  and incredible traffic in Connecticut and New Jersey.  I can’t imagine anyone traveling like this on a daily basis but I am sure it was just a fluke of weather and Friday traffic.  The end result was that had to stop much before my anticipated destination to get something to eat before it was too late.

So the question was where do I go?  I dislike the off road fast food restaurants and much prefer a nice sit down restaurant featuring the cuisine of my choice.  How do you find the right place and once you find it, how do you get there?  Windows Mobile Live Search of course!

So out came my Bluetooth GPS and I fired up Windows Mobile Live Search only to see that a new version has been released.  Windows Mobile Live Search 3.0 was a fast download, a quick install  and I was seeing a few new features like:

Map a contact: For any people in your address book, immediately view their address on a map and get directions there.

View Virtual Earth collections: View custom maps of locations and events that are created on the PC by you, your friends, or the broader community.

Web search: Launch web search directly from the client to find webpages, product price comparisons and reviews, news, images, and more.

Very cool!  I will check out all the new features later but I did a quick search for Italian restaurants in the area close to where I was and found a slew of them all within reasonable distances from where I was.  Windows Mobile Live Search gave me the directions and in a few short minutes I was sitting in a neat little place having a glass of wine and ordering my meal.  Of course while I was waiting I was able to find a Hampton Inn within a mile of where I was so I was able to book a room and finally just rest after a grueling drive … hopefully tomorrow will be a sunny day and we will arrive at our destination early.

And our dinner was terrific too!!

So check out the latest release of Windows Mobile Live Search 3.0 and enjoy all the benefits of this great program.  You can get it here at http://wls.live.com

The standard interface of Windows Mobile has its fans, but it’s also made enough people  unhappy to keep a whole bunch of developers in business. Off the top of my head, there’s Spb Mobile Shell, Spb Pocket Plus, SBSH iLauncher, Wisbar Advance, GoodWin, PointUI, all the assorted iPhone knock-offs, HTC TouchFlo/TouchFlo 3D, and the list goes on. Well, today it’s gotten longer by one.

Teksoft has just announced the release of Skybox, a new finger-friendly shell that promises to make the Pocket PC interface easier, faster, and cooler. It gets its name from a design that looks kind of like my kitchen window, a 3×3 rectangular grid with icons for various functions. (Okay, my kitchen window doesn’t have icons, but you get the idea.) It’s highly customizable, from cosmetics to registry hacks, and promises advanced graphics and animations.

Lots of screenshots and a 16-day free trial are available here.
