A note on software for mobile phones

Nowadays with j2me and highly powerful mobile handsets there are a lot of free software available. Here is just a couple of applications I found useful:

E-Book reader: This free program is very easy to use and supports a wide variety of handsets. it is available here.

Webster's Dictionary: This is the complete version of the Websters Dictionary. It requires about 11Mb of space and is available here.

(I just realised that anything simple and/or useful has already been made, and moreover it is available for free!)

Free offline dictionary for mobile phones

I have a Sony Ericsson k750i phone, but the sad thing is that unlike Nokia phones I can't install freely available software on it (*.sis). I have been searching for a dictionary I can use on my phone for some time now, but since I can only use java programs I couldn't find one anywhere.

So I finally got a small dictionary, the Barron's GRE wordlist (available here), and wrote my own dictionary program. It is not very elegantly written since I don't know how to use j2me very well, but it works and serves my purpose.

If anyone is interested in trying out my free offline dictionary, it is available here: Wordy.jar(279kb). Just copy the .jar file to your mobile phone (should be java enabled).

I guess I have wasted enough time already. Got to get back to my actual work.
