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 best 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 put 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.

Swisscom bringing the iPhone to Switzerland

Swisscom secured the rights to carry the iPhone in the land of watches, cheese and banks. It's the first-gen version which many of you already own, and not the rumored 3G version with GPS, mobile TV and video conferencing.

Similarly to SingTel's or Vodafone's announcement, Swisscom isn't saying anything but “we got the iPhone.” You can register to be notified when they start selling the device and that's about it. I would anticipate them to begin selling the iPhone sooner rather than later. After 3G iPhone is officially out and hacked, I doubt many people will still crave for the old one…

PhoneTag goes GrandCentralIt's cool to have a single number to ring all your phones, but if you're a savvy user, you also want you voicemail converted to text. Guess that's why voicemail-to-text and visual voicemail services provider, PhoneTag (former Simulscribe), decided to collaborate with the Google-owned service.

Prior to this integration, consumers who wanted to experience unified communication had to choose between PhoneTag, which automatically transcribes and delivers voice messages as text and Google's GrandCentral service, which rings all phones at once. GrandCentral does not offer voicemail-to-text to its user base, nor does it deliver a .wav file of the original voice message. Now consumers can have all their numbers ring at the same time and, if the call goes unanswered, be able to read their voicemail through PhoneTag.

What's else to tell. By combining PhoneTag with GrandCentral, a killer app is born. You'll still be able to choose a single number for all your phones, while at the same time, being able to read your voicemail!

Full release is available on PRNewswire.
