Twibble

Looking for a good Twitter client for your Nokia non-smart phone? I've tested a number of J2ME clients with Nokia 6303 (S40 platform) and Sony Ericsson W800i, and found couple good. The first one is Twibble. It works great on both phones, and it's a peace of good software also. 5 EUR is the price.

PavoMe

PavoMe is free, and bit more focused on multimedia (allows photo and sound recording and uploading).

PavoMe works better on contemporary mobiles with 320*240 displays. W800i is bit old for this app.

No love from Gmail SMS service for Russia

noreply@blogger.com (ak) — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 12:17:00 +0000

Google has added SMS quotas in Gmail Chat. Help topic on the matter says:

Messages sent or received to/from phones in North America don't have a quota.

So I assume it’s now possible to send and receive message outside US.

There are three big mobile phone operators in Russia: MTS, BeeLine and Megafone. Gmail failed to deliver SMS to MTS, neither Megafone.

Future Or Bust!

So, the original Image2wap web application is turned off, but this site will stay online for some time. Maybe I will be updating it with some funny stuff for mobile phones. I have no plans to pay for English proofreading for this site, so it will be in my not-so-good English. But, stay tuned: RSS feed! :-)

Free pictures for phones

Image2wap.com was not only a web application that helps to download any pictures from the Internet or from user's computer to mobile phones. It offered a great mobile wallpaper collection also. Most of those pictures for mobiles were created by Vlad Gerasimov of Vladstudio.com.

Here are the most popular:

Not so long ago Vlad has notified me that he signed in with a mobile content provider, so I guess all of his great arts will be available through some service or WAP site soon. Please visit VladStudio.com for more information.

Original Image2wap.com web application is history

noreply@blogger.com (ak) — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 17:31:00 +0000

The first version of Image2wap.com used to be a web application helping to download any pictures from the Internet or from user's computer to his mobile phone through WAP.

Image2wap.com used tricky methods of cropping and resizing to make pictures look good on mobile phones with any screen size, resolution, and aspect ratio.

However, the site was not very popular, so it is no more.

Visit "Image2wap.com history" page at UCWare.com for description and screenshots of the web application.
