New project: "Mobile Doctor"

http://www.symbianresources.com/projects/mobiledoc/t2_mobiledoc.jpgMobile Doctor helps injured persons in emerging markets with instantly finding nearby hospitals or medicine men. MobileDoc consists of two parts.

The client for doctors (DocMaster) lets medicine men and hospitals register the diseases and injuries they can cure. When activated, their location is constantly broadcasted to the web server.

The end-user client widget allows selecting the area of the injury using only graphics, therefore providing an interface that can easily be used in emergency situations by illiterates. After only two touches, the map of the surroundings appears; nearby medical help is clearly indicated.

New project: "Mobile Dictionary"

http://www.symbianresources.com/projects/mobiledictionary/t2_mobiledictionary.pngMobile Dictionary is a very early prototype of a dictionary application for S60 devices. Its big advantage is that it's able to use standard dictionaries that can be downloaded for free from freedict.org. The main goal of this project was to work with those dictionaries as a base for possible future projects, so the end user interface as well as the search is not what you might expect of a normal freeware / commercial dictionary application. Nevertheless, it might be worth trying if if you need a simple dictionary that works on standard dictionary files.

Updated project HourPower to v1.6.0

http://www.symbianresources.com/projects/hourpower/t2_hourpower.pngHourPower is the most popular download from symbianresources.com (followed by CarMeter, ShakerRacer and WiiRider).

Now the useful little application has been updated to v1.6.0. Thanks to mdmNOKIA, HourPower additionally supports Italian, bringing the language count to five (English, German, French, Italian, (Brazilian) Portuguese). As usual, the application can be downloaded for free. Be sure to also download the full source code, which is licensed under the GPL v3.

HourPower is Express Signed, so it installs on all S60 3rd and 5th Edition devices without any warnings. You can also download (and comment) it through the Ovi Store.

Trademark Issues - Free Wii Controller Software Unavailable

http://www.symbianresources.com/projects/mobipad/t2_mobipad.jpgUnfortunately, a German company claimed trademark rights for the name MobiPad. Therefore, the non-commercial student project that was provided free of charge had to be temporarily removed. It allowed controlling the whole phone with a Nintendo Wii Remote controller and was available for S60 3rd Edition as well as UIQ3. It was available for download through a dedicated website set up by the students, the Ovi Store and also linked to from symbianresources.com. The project will most likely be renamed, updated and be re-published in due time. Until then, it can no longer obtained from the three channels mentioned above.

Help needed: HourPower Translations

http://www.symbianresources.com/projects/hourpower/t2_hourpower.pngHourPower is a small open source application whose sole purpose is to read the current time using the built-in text-to-speech engine of your S60 phone. The next version is nearly finished and will additionally feature an Italian translation thanks to Mauro Rimicci.

To properly release the application on the Ovi store with localized descriptions for all language versions, I'd need French (thanks to Franck from The Symbian Touch) and Portuguese (thanks to João Dantas) translations of the following text (up to 500 chars). If you can speak those languages and can provide a translation or would like to improve the original English version, please email me at andreas.jakl@fh-hagenberg.at.

The English description: "With HourPower, your phone tells you the current time through the built-in text-to-speech engine. Just press a button to start the app and hear the time. Exactly what you need when waking up and unable to focus on an alarm clock display. Put HourPower on the standby-screen for maximum comfort. English, German, French, Italian and Portuguese are currently supported. HourPower is open source, so you can help translating the application to other languages!"
