ContactManager - a finger friendly contact application
Posted by Jack Cook on 07/15/07 in Pocket PC Phones, Software
Here is a pretty neat application that my good friend Helio from Pocket PC Freak made us aware of. Contact manager is a finger friendly contact application for your PDA phone, it will allow you to scroll to you list of contacts, call them and edit them.
So what’s difference between this and other contact applications?
With ContactManager you can:
It can be used with fingers, no need to get your stylus. Finding contact with your finger is really easy, it’s different than other software: if you press you finger on the left or right border of the screen it will allow you to select the letter you’re searching for, release the finger, it will show you the contact starting with this letter. Why does it work? Human being cannot point directly to the right letter on a small screen, however human are very precise while moving their finger. So you press the screen, see the feedback, adjust the position to the right letter… and you’re done!
It’s animated: the list scroll with your finger in a natural movement, the transition between contact detail and contact list are animated.
You can set contact as favorites, they will appear in the favorite list, perfect to get a quicklist of contacts under the finger.
You can edit your contact picture from the software, simply tap on the contact picture.
You can customize about everything by changing the setting.ini: color, font, background image, etc…
And best of all, it is FREE!! Yup, the authors say that if it is for your personal use, you can use for anything you want. Of course, they are asking that you DO NOT redistribute it but rather point people to their website …. sounds reasonable to me!
So check it out and see if ContactManager will fit your needs!
