What is does is that is sits on your wrist (with an included wrist band) or as a clip somewhere and gives you a quick view of what’s going on in your phone. Like a second wireless interactive mini display. This means that you can have your phone in you pocket or in a bag and still be alerted with notifications on incoming stuff or keept track of other things. It has an OLED screen with 128×128 pixels and some interaction elements such as 4-way navigation (touch sensors at the front, just at the edges of the screen) and two hard buttons, one for power on and off and for menu selection.
There are some given use-cases included already from launch, like notifications on incoming calls and messages, Facebook status updates etc. The cool thing however is of course that this device is available for use by any application that wants to. Think of this as kind of the usual Android desktop widgets but instead in a physical form, away from your phone. This makes this device quite an enabler for lots of cool ideas going forward. As you are aware there are thousands of great Android apps out there and I’m sure many of them could improve and evelove by use this device in cool ways. Then there might also even be some new applications ideas that are possible to realise now with this device that wasn’t even possible without it.

Android, so not for Vivaz..
ReplyDeleteif it compatible with the Sony Ericsson vivaz/vivaz pro too, it will be awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteWell guys, SE dumped us Symbian users. This device? prob not for symbian. They also recently announced no Symbian phones in the near future.
ReplyDeleteI used to be a loyal SE fan- T630, K700, K610, K800, now Vivaz... It is my last :-(
they (sonyericsson) should made a device that compatible to any of their phones even the phones use a diff OS...
ReplyDeletethey should follow what nokia did.most of nokia's phones are from symbian.i know the symbian is belong to them.but nokia only focus on 1 OS only.so,easy for them u make such a device (if they did) that can be use at any of their phones without any exceptional...
if a brand have use diff OS on diff phone,it is hard for them to sell the product.if the product have high demand (especially form other phone that use other OS),so they will lose some profit...
I'm buying this if compatible with vivaz
ReplyDeleteShame, I would have got it if it were cheap.
ReplyDeleteActually probably would have regardless of price.
There are some given use-cases included already from launch, like notifications on incoming calls and messages, Facebook status updates etc. Here all these things are really very cool.
ReplyDeleteI can send you this tip by email, so I put on comment, please, put into a new TIP
ReplyDeleteProblem sincronizing Outlook 2007/2010
no sync!! But I have fixed it!!
What you need to do is regedit, navigate to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Setup, export that key to a file. Edit the file to change 14.0 to 12.0, then import it to the registry (double-click). When you restart SEPCSuite it will now pick up Outlook in the Sync section, and can config as normal.
It's true that the SEPCSuite only searches the reg keys 11.0 and 12.0 but not 14.0!!
@Palanis- if you have a google account, the best way to sync is OTA. Use roadsync to sync with google.com, then use google calendar sync and companionlink on your pc to sync with google.com. everything is automatic, no cables...
ReplyDeleteIn Sony Ericsson PC Suite 6.0 if you try to sincronize urs Contact, notes, etc. with microsoft Outlook 2007/2010.
ReplyDeleteM
