Posted by Luis Camino on Nov 19, 2006 in Accesories| M600| P990| Software| Videos| W950

Slingbox for SymbianLess than two weeks after the announcement by Sony Ericsson of the support of Sony’s Locationfree for UIQ, Sling Media shows off compatibility of their wireless personal video broadcasting gadget (the Slingbox) for our Symbian 3G or Wifi enabled smartphones. After the jump you will find a pretty cool video of a W950 playing the different TV channels and DVD’s of, and controlling, a remote setup.

Official Windows Live Messenger for all Sony Ericssons from Microsoft/MSN

Windows Live Messenger for Sony Ericsson Sorry, third-parties, all JAVA-enabled Sony Ericssons now have official support from Microsoft to run their new Windows Live Messenger Mobile application. MSN/Windows Messenger site Mess.be found this goodie in a chineese MSN website. Well, actually, functionality may be a little below some other JAVA clients, but if you’re like me and only need your contact list and being able to chat with some few emoticons, you’ll take this Windows Live themed instant messenger over anything else. Apparently these download links (be careful to chose the version for your model) are completely legal and free to download, but after a couple of months they will stop working unless you pay a small unknown monthly fee. Hmm, let’s just enjoy it in the meantime and we’ll talk again in January. Check some screenshots of it running on K800 inside this entry. [Via Mess.be].

For Sony Ericsson J300, K300, K310, K500, K510, Z520 and Z530, Download Windows Live Messenger Mobile 380

For Sony Ericsson K790, K800, S700, W850 and W900 (it should also work for Symbian smartphones), Download Windows Live Messenger Mobile 384

If your exact model number isn’t listed here, make sure your phone supports JAVA and then download the version of models using the same screen pixel size.

Sony Ericsson adds LocationFree TV for P990, sign of DVB-H failing?

Posted by Luis Camino on Oct 17, 2006 in Accesories| P990| Press releases| Software

Sony Ericsson P990 goes LocationFreeSony’s LocationFree concept makes it possible to stream your own living room’s TV to a PSP, a PC, and now your P990 too, through the (required) LF-PK1 LocationFree Base Station (pictured in the middle) that connects on one side to your TV and on the other one to your broadband network connection, to which you access from your remote device (through WiFi or 3G) no matter where you are. The press release claims that the Location Free Player for P990 is included in the default Memory Stick or can be downloaded from Sony Ericsson’s site (I haven’t found it in neither places though). What is particularily cool about LocationFree is that you can do way more than just watch TV. You can access virtually any device that can be connected to a TV: a videocamera for one-way videoconferencing or surveillance, a DVD player, a PlayStation… Okay maybe not the latter.

On my other point, back in March, Digital Video Broadcast-Handheld was in everyone’s mouths feeds and that’s the reason I made the Adriana at the time. But have you heard of this technology at all since then? I haven’t. Is the release of LocationFree for P990 another case of showcasing all the (latent) potential of SE’s flagship, or an attempt to distract us from the lack of DVB-H development news? Probably both.

Enhanced Windows Media Player template for Bluetooth Remote Control

Posted by Luis Camino on May 8, 2006 in K310| K510| K600/V600/K608| K610| K700| K750/D750| K800/K790| S700| Software| W300/Z530| W600/W550| W800| W810| W900| Z520| Z800/V800

Enhanced Windows Media Player template for Bluetooth Remote ControlTired of my K750’s remote control template for Media Player lacking a couple of functions, I have customized it a bit and thought I should share it with you. As you can see in the background image, it’s the same template but adding the Shuffle, Repeat, Full Screen and Mute functions of Windows Media Player. If your phone has a smaller screen resolution than 176×220 you can resample the image and edit the template with the Sony Ericsson Bluetooth Remote Control application.

P990 Memory Stick preloaded applications list announced

Posted by Luis Camino on Mar 25, 2006 in P990| Software

P990 Memory Stick preloaded applications list announced Half the space of the 64mb memory card bundled with the P990 will be filled with 11 secondary applications that will complement the more essential ones like QuickOffice, that will come installed in the phone’s memory. According to Sony Ericsson’s Developer site, many of them are “try and buy” versions with time or feature limitations, but are we complaining? Some of the most interesting are:

Scanning Dictionary (in the photo): Much in the manner of the built-in Business Card Scanner (tested here), this program uses the P990 2 megapixel power to tell you the meaning of any word you point in the captured image of a text.

HandyDay, HandySafe, HandyExpense and SlovoEd dictionary: If you are a current or former Pxx0 user, you probably know Epocware and some of their must-install tools for Symbian smartphones. Even if you just used HandyDay to lock the screen :D .

WorldMate: Another top-selling Pxx0 application that provides critical travel-related information like workd clocks, flight schedules, unit conversions, weather forecasts, etc.

Advanced Call Manager: Who hasn’t ever needed some sort of “black list” of contacts to prevent from calling you?

Read the full list in “P990 Memory Stick preload application gallery” [Thanks zapatitos for the tip]

iSync W600/W550 on Macintosh

Posted by Luis Camino on Dec 1, 2005 in Software| W600/W550

iSync W600/W550

Let’s keep adding stuff to the Software section, do not hesitate to send in any cool program you know for use with Sony Ericssons, PC, Mac or Linux. This homemade W600/W550 iSync plug-in by Macncell.com will synchronize the phonebook and calendar (maybe more things, I can’t test it, I’m PC) of your W600 and W550 on any Mac, but I don’t see the reason why it wouldn’t work with any other Fast Port enabled SE (again, can’t test it myself, and don’t really know how iSync works). It was created following this tutorial for making iSync plugins for any unsupported phone.

Kirstian Austad’s (not Float’s) Mobile Agent

Posted by Luis Camino on Nov 29, 2005 in Software

Kristian Austad's Mobile AgentThe downloadable Free version of this Mobile Agent offers sending and receiving SMS’s, call control and phonebook management; the Standard adds note, calendar, alarms and conference call management, and “advanced features”; and the Professional provides call recording on top of that. It’s still in Beta phase, only the Free one is available, and the latter two at $20 and $80 are going to be quite expensive compared to other popular free software like the original Float’s Mobile Agent, but it’s great to see more and more people into developing especifically for our Sony Ericssons.

Synchronizing Sony Ericssons with iTunes

Posted by Luis Camino on Oct 27, 2005 in K750/D750| P990| Software| W800| W900

Sony Ericsson in iTunesNot one, not even two, but THREE pieces of software have I found that will let you synchronize your MP3s with iTunes, if you just sold your iPod to buy a W800 :) After the great success of that phone and the unveiling of the ROKR-killer W900i, this is the last boost to the fast comeback of the Walkman brand. But remember! If your SE isn’t Walkman branded, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the same features: all these iTunes add-ons will work with any mass-storage compliant phone (that’s every Sony Ericsson with Fast Port and Memory Stick slot). [Via Engadget, Pocket-lint and Tea Vui Huang]

Miksoft 3GP>AVI and AMR<>WAV converters

Posted by Luis Camino on Mar 2, 2005 in Software

Miksoft converters Tired of asking your friends to install the QuickTime plugin everytime you want to share a phone video? I am. Miksoft’s 3GP to AVI converter seems to be the perfect solution, altough if you’re thinking in converting some episodes of your favourite serial and load it into your phone, this is not your software, since it doesn’t convert from AVI to 3GP. Try the AMR<>WAV converter if you usually deal with voice recordings.
