Following coverage earlier in the week of the updates to BB Edit and Homesite 5.5, here we look at the freeloader options.

Sony Ericsson’s new superslim K770 Cyber-shot phone has been announced today and it looks rather a dandy number to our eyes.
A mere slip of a thing at just 14.5mm wide, the candybar-style handset packs a 3.2 megapixel camera and comes in what Sony is describing as “fashionable Truffle Brown.” We can’t say that the colour of truffles has ever been much of a hit amongst the fashionistas around our neck of the woods, but we’ll take Sony’s word on that.

In part one of the review we looked at the basics, today we go further.
Working with contacts
Clicking on a search result takes you to the contact’s details and here the program really shows its worth: with one click you can call them, fire off a SMS, send an email from your preferred email client, schedule a meeting, edit their details or even see their address displayed on Google Maps.
So small you want to pat it on the head and send it to bed early, Fujitsu’s diminutive Lifebook U810 is an ultramobile PC that can keep up with the big boys.
Weighing just 1.6 pounds, the pint-sized, pocketable portable sports a 5.6-inch LCD touchscreen display (which can be swivelled around into a tablet PC), Wi-Fi, a QWERTY keyboard and runs on Microsoft’s Windows Vista OS or XP Tablet operating system.

Homesite 5.5 (Windows)
Windows users looking for similar levels of hands-on functionality might want to take a look at the long serving Homesite 5.5.

TAKEphONE is a slick utility that turbo-charges the Treo’s contacts/phone applications and provides a lighting-quick way to access your address book and then call, email or SMS listed contacts.
Looking up a contact is extremely fast: just type in their initials and all matches will appear onscreen. Start typing in the letters of a first name or second name and matches will dynamically update and become available for clicking as you type.
Old school web authors who remain unimpressed with market leader Dreamweaver’s visual approach to building pages might be interested in the latest update to the BBEdit text editor, made by Bare Bones Software.

LG has lined up a bevy of beaming babes to loll about on the ground and look improbably over-enthusiastic about a range of new colours for their LG-SC330 phone.
The compact slider (also known as the KC3500/LC3500 depending on where you buy it) has now shaken off the dull black and white colour scheme forced on it by The Man and gone colour crazy – and look at the hot chicks it’s attracting already!

Straight out of the we’re just soooo ker-ay-zee school of phone design comes Nokia’s new “Prism” fashion handset collection which is now ready to launch in Europe.
Already to be seen amongst the fashionistas of China, the tres quirky Prism range comprises of two handsets, the top-of-the-range 7900 and its (ahem) “quirky sibling,” the cheaper 7500.
