DreamConnect 3 optimized for finger input

DreamSpring released a new version of its popular contact management application for Symbian UIQ phones – DreamConnect 3. The version 3.60 is primarily enhanced to make the application more accessible using fingers, hence it’s ideal for those owning the Sony Ericsson W960i smartphone.

Gesture support providers quicker and more convenient access to contact details. Users can simply swipe their finger or thumb either to the left or right to scroll through contact details or up and down to scroll through the contact list. On the upcoming Sony Ericsson G700 and G900, this even takes advantage of their accelerated scrolling feature.

Additionally, all commonly used commands are now placed on the list view’s toolbar to further reduce key presses, hence eliminating the need for a stylus.

Finally, DreamConnect 3 v3.60 enhances scrolling performance for about 66%, and also adds “Key Match” to the existing range of search methods.

The application costs 24.95 EUR and the new version is available as a free upgrade to existing DreamConnect 3 owners… More information is available on DreamSpring’s website.

He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
