Gallery: The Unannounced M610

Posted by Michell | March 9th, 2008

Here are a few exclusives shots of the unannounced / cancelled M610 smart phone by Sony Ericsson. It is still unknown why Sony Ericsson cancelled this model, but probably because it was too close to M600 and P1.

QuickBlock - extremely cool freeware game for UIQ 3!

Posted by Michell | January 18th, 2008

QuickBlock is an extremely cool freeware game for Sony Ericsson smart phones running UIQ 3. It makes use of the touch screen on the phone and will seriously put your reaction skills to a test!

In this game it’s all about moving and staying alive. You have to move around your orange block and avoid the green block, which will continuously morph into more - smaller - blocks.

As said, it’s freeware so give it a try. My best time is 57 now 59 seconds - see if you can beat it!

Audio and video podcaster for UIQ 3

Posted by Michell | January 5th, 2008

My friend Sebastian Brännström (aka teknolog) and Lars Persson (aka AnotherGuest) have been developing a really cool freeware application for UIQ 3. It’s an audio and video podcast application called Escarpod. The graphics in the application has been created by Alan Eddie, who has done a fabulous job! I was first helping a little with the icons, but Alan’s are far better :-)
Escarpod was recently submitted to the UIQ Open contest and was then published on the project website on the first of January. Escarpod is currently in a beta 2 stage and the release version will come later in January with more translations (I’ve added the Danish translation!). Escarpod will run on any UIQ 3 phone, but it’s highly recommended to use it on one with WLAN to cut the data expenses.

You can read more and download the free application here.

The open source Bergamot project - as this UIQ 3 project has been called - also includes other applications and very exciting future projects and ports from S60 to UIQ 3. You can find more info about the project on its Google Code website.
