Symbian platform: UIQ
Review first published in:
Palmtop User magazine, issue

 It's rather an indictment by Cibenix of the
P800's interface that something like Active Desk is thought to be needed at
all. The main feature, for those lusting after a Pocket-PC style 'Today' view,
is an all-in-one summary of your day, your tasks and your messages, shown
(after a brief but irritating pause) whenever you open the P800's flip. It
looks pretty and is hugely customisable (photo, sounds, text colours, etc.) but
is ultimately a cosmetic thing, dropping out to the original P800 applications
if you want to actually do anything. Icons down the left-hand side kick off
each application in its appropriate 'new entry' mode.
The other feature of note is the built-in Task Manager,
rectifying this important omission in the Symbian operating system, showing
what's currently running and letting you switch to (or end) a particular
application. $20, from www.cibenix.com |
