I retired from personal blogging in July 2008.

Following a link from www.GeekZone.co.nz I installed the trial version of .Mobile Contacts for my Pocket PC.
It provides a 1 finger interface to your contacts. Review with screen shots here.
Its a great idea because driving contacts while walking (or driving) is almost impossible.
The UI is really nice. The scrolling is fantastic. Only issues are:
- Doesn’t seem to do anything special for PPC Phone Edition. I should be able to tap and hold a contact to call
- The categories aren’t the standard PPC Contact categories
However this is very slick PPC software.
.Mobile shows that there is plenty of opportunity to look at how people use devices in practice and deliver software that really works.
