VC’s Techie CockTail

Here are two interesting java apps for your mobile phones,

• Qeep : Supposed to be a mobile social networking community with free membership, software and ability to chat, blog, play games with fellow members
• FPC Bench : Its more for the Java techies interested in developing j2me softwares for mobile as this is a benchmarking tool.

In other interesting news, MyPhoneExplorer’s latest version has support for Sony Ericsson’s UIQ phones like G700,G900,P1i etc . But I tried connecting it with a G900, the problem is it also needs the SE PC Suite with m-router to be installed and the m-router identifies the phone at its own will so connecting it becomes a great hassle.

P.S: As you might have noted I got time to play with a SE G900, so upcoming posts will have my thoughts on it.

Here are two more Java based softwares for you techies to try out in your cell phones…
Yahoo Go 2.0 : When I first heard about Yahoo Go I was quite excited to try it out, but it started supporting my K550i quite late. I tried it out in the last few weeks, to put it in a nutshell its excellent. The carousel based interface with many yahoo services like mail, messenger,finance,news, finance makes it enjoyable to work with. But because of my pathetic gprs speeds I wasnt able to take it for a more thorough run, but for people using yahoo’s services its a very handy tool making me to look forward to version 3.

And here is a free java based dictionary,

Dictionary : I have always felt the need for a mobile dictionary mainly because I am lazy enough to go and pick up a dictionary from the book shelf. I found dictionary v2.6 to be a very handy dictionary. It suggest words as we type along and its easy to use. Even though the vocabulary may be limited its handy enough for reference and free. My kudos to the developer Vikrant Prakash Chavan(vikrant_pc(at)yahoo.com)
