Mobile Phone Applications [ March 1st, 2010 ] Posted in » Free Software

I have recently been looking for applications to increase the productivity of my mobile phone. Although an iPhone would be ideal I will have to make do with my current java phone until my contract comes to an end and I can upgrade.

By far the best app I found to breathe a new lease of life to my ageing mobile is Opera Mini which is a decent full page web browser with zoom which makes the web useable on the mobile instead of being limited to good wap sites like e-bay and facebook.

As far as finding other useful apps goes you cant go wrong with a visit to getjar.

Windows Live

I have just installed some new windows live applications that you may be interested in.

Probably the most useful one for me is the outlook connector for live mail.  I am often late answering e-mails sent to my live account as I need to log in to hotmail to see them.

In the past hotmail has supported pop3 but then dropped support for it.  With the connector I can now access my hotmail account through outlook 2003.  - Just downloading the last 12 years of e-mails that I haven’t managed properly.

Another handy tool is the Windows Live Writer which allows me to write and publish my blog posts from a desktop application.  I am writing this article in Windows Live Writer now as a test.  All I had to do was set the xml publishing option in Wordpress settings to allow the application to publish blogs to my website.
