Smartphoneware just released a desktop application for S60 3rd, called Tracker. Tracker is a fully customizable desktop application with hundreds of functions and possibilities transforming your S60 device into a powerful organizer.

What can you do with Tracker? You can have desktop-like appearance on your device, such as adding shortcuts to applications, folders, notes and speed contacts. The right screenshot below an example of notes.

Tracker replaces the default S60 task manager. It is definitely better than the default one because you can get more information, such as free memory, free space, even detail information about application (see right screenshot).

How do you normally enter new contact information from a business card to your Contacts application? For me, sometimes I enter it manually on the phone. In some other occasions, I enter it to my PC on Microsoft Outlook and then synchronize it to the phone.

Is there an automatic way? The answer is yes. InziSoft has developed an application, called BizReader. It allows us to capture business card from the phone’s camera and then save it to the Contacts application.

How does BizReader perform? Does it really deliver its promise? Since there is no “standard” of business card, BizReader doesn’t always parse the business card information properly. It works pretty well when parsing numbers, such as phone number. It doesn’t always give good result when parsing characters, such as address or email address. No worry though… because you can still edit the result before saving it to the Contacts application.

One thing to note is that the price of BizReader is a little bit high. If you don’t exchange business card very often, this application may not be for you.

Update (30-April-2007): Apparently Nokia has also silently released a business card reader. Somehow, I missed Darla Mack’s post, Nokia releases N73 Business Card app. Interestingly, this application is not widely available to all users. That’s why I missed it. According to Darla, it is available to China market only, but it should work on ordinary S60 3rd devices too.

In my last posting, I discussed ImageExpo that allows us to project our phone’s screen to a PC. This time, I am going to discuss Psiloc Wireless Presenter.

It has a feature that is similar to ImageExpo, that is projecting phone’s screen to PC. However, its main feature is actually controlling our PC from the phone. For instance, you can control Power Point presentation via your phone. In other words, you are using your phone as a “remote control” to your PC.

Imagine that you want to do presentation on your client using PowerPoint. What you have to do is copy your PowerPoint slide to the phone. At your client side, you just transfer the file from your phone to a PC and then use Psiloc Wireless Presenter to do the presentation.
