Linkboy

I keep returning to UIQ Fast Track in Budapest, Hungary. Today’s reason is that Zoltan Gyorgypal from CellPhoneSoft, whom I’ve met there, informed me that he’s updated its popular LinkBoy application. The newly released LinkBoy 1.40 goes beyond earlier versions, and not only allows you to customize the home screen of your Symbian UIQ3 based device (Sony Ericsson smartphones, Motorola Z8), but also adds additional tweaking on top of it. For instance, if you’re using the Sony Ericsson P990i there are new “Enhanced Activity options” for selective display of shortcut sets depending on flip mode. In addition, LinkBoy 1.40 enables even faster access to favorite apps by allowing you to set numeric keys as hotkeys for invoking shortcuts. Next, you can configure font sizes and add blank space between icons. Finally, Zoltan made sure the new version of LinkBoy fixes all the small bugs from the previous versions and is now faster than ever before…

Yeah, I could go on and on. You just need to see the screenshots and you’ll know why you need this application, especially if you’re using one of the earlier Sony Ericsson smartphones (M600i, W950i or P990i). More information is available from here.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
