Like the iPhone, HTC Touch Diamond has the built in accelerometer which is used to make the mobile phone usage more enjoyable. However, the auto-rotate function which accelerometer enables isn’t available in all applications. Furthermore, for some reasons HTC has disabled the manual screen rotation in some apps (E-mail, Calendar, etc).
Folks from SKKV Software noticed this and decided to do something about it. The results is the application called GSEN, which really takes advantage of the accelerometer, providing users with auto-rotation in almost every application. You can set which apps will be affected by GSEN or define apps which shouldn’t auto-rotate (i.e. Opera Mobile already does this). Finally, it has a nice add-on feature that lets you go to standby mode by turning the device to screen…
GSEN works on latest HTC smartphones like the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro, as well as the Advantage X7510 Windows Mobile UMPC. It is available as a free download from SKKV Software’s website.

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.
