Geekzone Reviews .mobile Contacts
Posted by Brad Adrian in "ARTICLE" @ 01:00 AM
The folks at Geekzone have reviewed an interesting application that tackles a very common problem among Pocket PC users: using Contacts with only one hand. The program's called ".mobile Contacts" and it's aimed at making Contacts "thumb-able."
".mobile Contacts brings a user interface that allows single hand use of a Pocket PC, in this case the Contacts database. It also adds some functionality to the interface, making it more functional. Using one hand, click the button, and the use the thumb to "drag" the contact list up and down. The movement is smooth, and precise. To jump to a specific surname, simply click the Jump icon on the right side and select the letter from a table that will be shown on the screen. If you happen to be using both hands, just start writing the contact's name and the list will be filtered. To see the contact's details tap the Open Detail icon on the right side."
If you've ever tried to browse through your Contacts listing or to find that one elusive entry, all single-handed, you need to make sure you read all that Geekzone has to say about .mobile Contacts. If you like what you read, you can download a free demo version or the full version for <gulp> $29.99 from the Handango site
