Sony Ericsson may consider UIQ dead, but that doesn’t mean existing smartphone owners should be abandoned. That being said CellPhoneSoft, which is known for its UIQ apps, has released a new handy utility called File Associate that lists and lets users change what applications are used to open various document files. For instance, you can select alternative viewers for all popular file types like DOC, PDF, JPG, MP3, etc.. with the newly assigned associations taking effect when you open files from a file manager.
Also included in the package is the so called Generic viewer, which supports viewing of flash, ZIP, text and binary files. When clicking on a file, you will never again encounter the “Unrecognized file format” message!
File Associate is significant in that sense that it brings a kind of customization that was never before possible on Symbian UIQ or S60 phones, and in that light we love it. Here’s a link from where you can grab the app. A free trial is also available.

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.
