FlyingMoney Manager helps Symbian UIQ smartphone owners manage their finances on the go


Recently, FlyingBird Software released finance management application FlyingMoney Manager for Symbian UIQ 3.x devices. The easy-to-use application allows users to track incomes and expenses, create budgets, and analyze their financial activity. Users can set unlimited number of accounts, categorize transactions, run budget reports and export them as CSV files, and password protect their data. In addition, FlyingMoney Manager supports various transaction types and options — including multiple-currency transactions, as well as scheduled and memorized transactions. Finally, after you've entered all your transaction data, you can find the one you need at any time thanks to the built-in search tool…
As always, the "problem" with such apps is to discipline yourself to use them on a daily basis — or whenever you have a new expense/income entry. That's why software developers provide users with free trial versions, I guess. Just follow [Only Registered and Activated Users Can See Links.

Review: Handy Weather for S60

As Steve Litchfield always likes to say "filed under articles I wanted to write," [Only Registered and Activated Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register...]. One of my favorite S60 applications, I only discovered it at this years Mobile World Congress while sitting next to Jonathan Greene from [Only Registered and Activated Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register...] and looking at that awesome screensaver pictured above.
One thing Steve forgot to mention in his review, and one reason why I love this application so much, is the fact that I can set the screensaver to lock my phone no matter what I'm doing. Without Handy Weather installed the only way my N82 locked its keypad was if I went to the standby screen, now it doesn't matter what application I'm in, I can set my phone to lock automatically when the screensaver kicks in.
It makes paying for [Only Registered and Activated Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register...] seem a bit … useless really, just spend the money on [Only Registered and Activated Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register...]!

fringME! widget updated; Now works with UIQ smartphones

fring has just announced that they've updated the fringME! widget to allow web-to-mobile chat feature. The idea is to provide users with a widget they could use on their blog, social network profile or website and allow their visitors to contact them while on-the-go.

Unfortunately this isn't available for UIQ smartphones, but then again there are no single GPS-equipped Symbian UIQ smartphone at the moment. Yeah, you could use the Bluetooth GPS receiver, but that's a hassle.
Anyway, to start using fringME! you will need the latest version of [Only Registered and Activated Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register...]. Then simply visit the [Only Registered and Activated Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register...] to choose a widget design, copy and paste an html code onto your chosen web pages, switch on and configure fringME! on your mobile handset, and you're ready to go.
