The iDial Mobile application enables users to share their availability, presence and location information automatically. The application is able to fetch calendar and profile information from the user’s mobile phone. The application shows if the user is in a meeting or if they are available, and the mode of their mobile phone (shut off, meeting or mute mode). iDial Mobile application also identifies automatically the nearest WLAN and GSM network and shares the location of a community member.

Users can update the internet phonebook, which also shows contacts’ calendar, presence and location details; invite new members to the community; engage in a chat session with an other user’s mobile phone; and send poke messages to a mobile phone. The personal web page includes also real-time calendar, presence and location information of the user.

”Sesca iDial Mobile Community is a future showcase of rich communications tools and web communities built by integrating web 2.0 and mobile phone technology. To become truly popular, a web community has to offer multiple tools for seamless communication. We also believe that enterprises will also implement mobile communities in the near future”, says Andreas Paschinsky, the product manager of iDial Mobile Community.

The iDial Mobile application is currently available for Nokia mobile phones running on Symbian S60 3rd Edition operating system.

Jeff Sharkey — winner of the $275k Android Developer Challenge — has already managed to reverse engineer one of the iPhone's most killer apps and release it for the Android platform. This raises the G1 up a notch in my appraisal; in my musically-networked apartment, Remote.app is actually a far more wonderful creation than the iPhone itself. I could easily see myself switching to another phone, as long as it had that.

BlackBerry JDE v4.7, available today in public beta, enables mobile application development for BlackBerry Device Software v4.7 which runs on the new BlackBerry Storm smartphone. It includes the ability to develop an application that works seamlessly on both touch-screen and keyboard based BlackBerry smartphones. New APIs available with BlackBerry JDE v4.7 that enable developers to take advantage of the new features of the BlackBerry Storm smartphone include:

•Décor Enhancements – Control visual properties of a user interface.
•SMS & MMS Listener – Set applications to automatically update content or alter the progress of a function based on preset criteria that can be triggered by SMS and MMS messages.

touch type iPhone

Touch Type allows you to write and compose your message in either portrait or landscape mode, and once your message is finished it is sent to the iPhone mail app for dispatch.

The developer Michael Schneider is currently adding support for text to be sent to the iPhone’s Notes program and also the ability to save extracts of text for reuse in the iPhone’s mail app.

The Touch Type iPhone app is available to buy from the iPhone App store for $0.99, here is the direct link to iTunes.

In typical Apple fashion, an independent developer filled in the gaps of what the iPhone should have had in the first place. Perhaps a more minor annoyance compared to the lack of copy and paste is the lack of landscape virtual keypad on email.

You got to wonder why there’d be a lack of landscape keypad on a feature where typing is of the essence, but it’s pointless thinking about that now. App developer, Mike Schneider, creates a fix in the form of TouchType. Just download it from iTunes for US$0.99, open the application to reveal a landscape keypad, type an email, and then send. As easy as that. Great news for people with huge hands and those who prefer two thumb typing.
