PointUI now available

Hi all. Thanks to Johnny Boy (a reader of the blog) for the notification… PointUI is now available for download! And they supposedly have a Panel just for Xperia!

I’ll be downloading in a bit and will post in detail with screenshots later tonight this weekend. To grab it yourself, head on over to www.pointui.com.

HeHe! Did I wake you up, Salman?

I'm really liking this panel. For me, it is certainly more stable than the Bell project, and i find it a lot more convenient than the touchflo3D panel i used to use. It also puts SPB panel in its place, i think.

Definately looking forward to the Pro version. I might even have a bash at trying to script applets for it, if they finish the tutorial on the site.

Very impressed and happy.

It's actually pretty good! But the only problem with it is that the Weather doesn't have my city!!

The cities are quite limited.. Do you guys know a way to add more cities?

Just check the community-forum, there´s a thread there about adding your own city. Although im not sure they´ve managed to get it working just yet =)

Not so impressed about this interface. It doesn't have my city in the list, the contacts include the SIM entries and there is no way to disable that, cannot seem to change the feed from google... and there is nothing special about it.

Maybe the "Pro" will have better options.

There are threads on XDA developers forum discussing the very issues mentioned here. There are several answers there worth looking into, particularly about adding cities.

Bear in mind, that this is a first release. Like a beta, really.
Bug fixes and improvements will come with a little time, i'm sure.
Be content, after all, this is a free program.

Well if you consider BETA is "Available" then perhaps you can put it that way. But at least put a bracket or something saying that it's just a beta??

Available means available for immediate download, but it definitely is important to mention that it is available in Beta only... I'll make sure to mention so in the future.

I'm leaning more towards SPB 3 at the moment, but just a heads up to say that PointUI 2 pro is now available for $19.95.

I havent had a good look to see what its got over the free edition, yet, but i have to say i'm interested.

See ya later. peeps.

SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 – A Quick Review

SPB has finally released Mobile Shell 3.0 and simply put, it is Amazing! Once installation completes and the shell is launched, you are taken to a sleeker version of SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 home with message information, notifications, calendar, and weather. This screen is known as the Professional Home screen. But wait! with the flick of a finger up the screen, the home screen is switched to the lifestyle home screen which provides a completely different look and feel. This lifestyle home screen is fully customizable allowing the user to place widgets and application launchers of their choice on the screen as needed. Apart from application shortcuts and widgets, the user can also add calendar entries, images, contacts, and more. Furthermore, the lifestyle home screen is split across three pages – flick to the right or left to change to the page – thus allowing you to manage similar widgets on the same page. Clicking on the lower-left button activates the SPB Carrousel – a 3D interfac...

Growing Panel – More to it… (Updated)

It turns out that the Growing panel has more to it than what was initially believed of it. It is not just a cool animated panel, but has a lot more to offer. First of all let me start off by complementing the animating panel. Having run it for a couple of hours now, the first thing i noticed was that it kept changing with time. The sun went down and the moon came up, and slowly made across the sky… and now the moon is almost out of sight and the sky a bit brightened, the sun should be showing up soon. (unfortunately i won’t be able to catch the sun rising as i’ll be asleep by then…) Next are the small insects on the panel. Bees flying by, worms crawling on the plants, fireflies in the air, and snails on the ground. Hit the bee or the ladybird and the phone buzzes, hit a snail and it hides itself inside its shell and stays there – hit it again to get it moving again, hit the firefly and it flickers… This is definitely a panel worth having! Now… the functionality on the panel. As e...

SE Waiting for WinMo 6.5?

Ok… so before i post this, let me point out that this is purely my speculation and not based on any sourced info. We all saw the leaked beta R3 ROMs a couple of weeks back. With the new Panel Manager, the Growing Panel, the Xtract game, and more. But by the end of May we saw the release of the final R3 ROM on SEUS and it lacked most of the features and applications that were found in the leaked ROM. And then SEMC announced a new ROM in June – this was after the R3 rom appeared on SEUS. So what is Sony Ericsson up to? My hopes are – and i know they are high hopes but who knows! – that Sony Ericsson is delaying the feature packed update because of Windows Mobile 6.5! We all know that WinMo 6.5 has been released to manufacturers… so what do you think? You agree with me? Or should i simply dream on?
