TouchXperience UI for Windows Mobile phones

TouchXperience is the Next Generation User Interface for Windows Mobile, finger friendly and highly customizable, it offers many interesting features: program launcher, contacts manager, home screen, appointments, messaging, task manager, profile and event manager, call log, control panel, communication manager,…

TouchMenu is probably the most powerful and customizable menu, replacing original Start Menu for an innovative touch interface. TouchMenu supports finger scrolling and gestures, for example you can switch from a menu to another by sliding your finger left/right, or display context menu by a long press on the screen. You can also scroll menus using G-sensor. Each menu has four different views (large list, small list, large grid, small grid). As the rest of the future user interface, TouchMenu has a nice Vista/WM7 look.

TouchMenu has various built-in menus :

• All Programs (Start Menu replacement)
• Active Programs (Task Manager)
• Recent programs
• Favorite programs
• Settings (Control Panel)
• Documents
• Favorite Websites
• Contacts
• Messaging
• Appointments
• Tasks
• Calls (Call Log)
• Communications (Comm. Manager)
• RSS feeds
• Power Actions
• End Actions
• One Touch Settings

But you can do much more by creating your own custom menus where you can add contacts, program shortcuts, website links, system actions (for example: reset device, rotate screen, sound profile, clock, brightness backlight, WMP status,…) or links to other menus. You can also replace icon for each program/folder/contacts/menu with a custom image.

TouchHome is a fully customizable screen where you can add various widgets and graphical elements (clocks, indicators, today items, texts, images,…). By default, TouchHome displays when you turn your phone on. You can make your own graphics and layout using XML. TouchHome can be also used as screen unlocker (unlock screen by sliding finger, by double tapping, by shaking device, using navigation scroll wheel,…).

Use GPS or cell-based geo-positioning to determine current location and create profiles for each location.

Custom Events is a powerful application which execute predefined actions when custom events occur. The principle is simple, each custom event is defined by:

• A basic event (application changed, location changed, new message, new incoming call, battery charging, device cradled, headset connected, Wi-Fi network detected, internet connection detected,…)
• Eventually some conditions (date/time, current application, current location, specific words in message, caller identity,…)
• An action (launch application, display notification, enable flight mode, turn on Wi-Fi, change profile, send message, ,…)

There will be hundreds of events and actions, so possibilities are very large! Here are some examples:

• Enable flight mode during nights
• Connect to Wi-Fi while battery is charging
• Deactivate alarm when I turn my device face down
• Put phone in silent mode at workplace
• Remind me to buy bread when I’m near to the bakery

Supports finger gestures on touch-sensitive control pad  (experimental, for HTC Diamond/Touch Pro only) to execute different system actions, in this way you can have up to 8 “virtual buttons” on your device.

Supports display auto-rotation navigation using G-sensor (experimental, for HTC Diamond/Touch Pro only).

TouchXperience User Interface is designed for a future usage of hardware accelerated 3D graphics for an outstanding experience!

MWC 2010 – AnyDATA shows new Windows Mobile smartphones

Multimedia Windows Smartphones Unveiled by AnyDATA

Two new models to be showcased at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona

AnyDATA Corporation, a global leader in the design and manufacture of wireless communications devices, announces two leading edge Windows smartphones for carrier distribution, the ASP-318 and the ASP-518. Both devices are loaded with multimedia features that provide consumers with a rich entertainment experience on AnyDATA smartphones.

The ASP-318 is a low cost and affordable Windows Mobile smartphone for cellular subscribers, such as students and enterprise workers who previously may have only considered a mid-tier feature phone. The AnyDATA smartphone utilizes the media-rich Mediatek MT6516 application processor that is designed for entry level smartphones. It provides a rich multimedia experience for cellular subscribers on existing 2G GSM networks.

The ASP-318 smartphone features Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional, a 3.2 inch color touch screen, GPS to support navigation and LBS applications, an accelerometer, dual SIM, EDGE/GPRS modem, a micro SD slot for memory expansion, and an FM radio. The ASP-318 also has a 3.2 megapixel camera with built-in flash, autofocus, and macro-mode to focus on close-up images.

Based on its recent partnership with SRS Labs, AnyDATA plans to further enhance the ASP-318 with SRS TruMedia TM which improves the audio performance with remarkable depth and clarity. The ASP-318 operates globally on quad-band GSM 850/900/1800/1900 Mhz bands. The AnyDATA ASP-318 will be commercially available in 2nd quarter, 2010 and will be marketed as the iMedia smartphone.

The ASP-518 is a 3G dual mode smartphone currently marketed by China Telecom utilizing the well known Phillips brand. The phone has a striking design with tapered edges that look sharp and assist in gripping the phone. The ASP-518 smartphone features Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional, GPS navigation, a brilliant 3.2 inch WVGA screen, WiFi, 4 gigabytes of memory, as well as a micro SD memory slot.

The ASP-518 is optimal for travelers or subscribers with two phone numbers since it supports dual SIMs and dual standby. The phone operates simultaneously on 3G CDMA EVDO Rev A networks as well as GSM 900/1800 networks. The smartphone also has dual cameras, namely a 5 megapixel auto-focus camera for taking high quality photos and a front facing camera to enable mobile video-conferencing. The ASP-518 features the MSM7627 3G processor from Qualcomm.

The ASP-518 will also be equipped with superb audio that utilizes SRS technology. Audio performance has become a significant purchasing factor as consumers shop for more sophisticated phones. In a recent MarketTools study conducted in November 2009, 92 percent of survey respondents indicated the quality of sound is important or very important when purchasing a mobile phone.
