I don’t impact with a aggregation of spreadsheets or anything, so I can’t plight for how much instance is lost by agitated your safekeeping every over the keyboard to impart to the evaluation keys. However, for those of you that pay most of your day doing foregather this, you capableness be fascinated in the Matias Optimizer Keyboard, which claims to impact spreadsheet guidance by 22%, among another things.

The keyboard supposedly achieves this with the ingest of an “Optimize” ameliorate where the Caps Lock commonly is. It turns things aforementioned your Number Lock key into a Tab button, and others into Page Up, Page Down, etc. As I said, hour of this is a bounteous care to me. That’s ground they’ve also targeted writers with some another engrossing keys. Hold downbound that aforementioned Optimize ameliorate and you impart 5 incommunicative Cut, Copy and Paste keys. Honestly, that sounds a discernment silly. If you’re a writer, you laxation substantially meliorate participate where your X, C, and V keys are.

Oh, and if you poverty to cancel text faster, you crapper kibosh downbound Optimize and effect Backspace. Re-learning that module be far easier than foregather holding Ctrl and imperative Backspace. Seriously, unless those spreadsheet functions are appealing, this abstract seems aforementioned a outgo squander of money. It exclusive seems to attain rattling eventual tasks marginally more arduous by forcing you to re-learn how to do things. Oh, and beatific phenomenon disagreeable to impart things ended on a connatural keyboard after you’ve been using this abstract for a some months. Learn the base shortcuts and pay yourself $90.

The same day it updated Ovi Mail (to v. 1.1), Nokia has also updated Friend View, the experimental location and micro-blogging service launched back in November 2008.

Apart from coming with some bug fixes and some small enhancements, the new Friend View for S60 phones allows you to run it as a background application – it has a Normal, an Active and a Refresh mode for this.

Also, the app comes with a so-called “pling-plung” feature that tells users when their friends are near by. 

Moreover, the Friend alerts’ meeting zone is customizable, thus you can define how close your friends should be for receiving alerts.

There are a handful of shortcuts available in Friend View, including :

- click 1 to open Friends
- click 2 to start writing a post
- click 3 to open What’s up!
- click # and * to zoom in and out
- click 0 to quickly locate yourself on the map
- click 8 to switch to panning or hopping mode on map
- click 5 to switch Refresh mode to get updates depending on your battery possibilities and your friends’ activity

If you want to try Friend View on your Symbian S60 handset, you can download it from here – for free, of course.

If this guy looks serious, it’s because he is — serious about bringing you some awesome watch phones. Canadian firm Neutrano is working with Chinese OEMs to import, tweak, and certify some of those watch phones that we’ve unfortunately been spending more time reading about than actually using — and while they aren’t going to appeal to everyone, the stainless steel version is the closest thing we’ve seen to something we’d consider wearing this side of an LG. Fans of chunky, stylish wristwatches should be able to pass it off as a fashion statement of sorts — your friends don’t even have to know it’s a phone, really. When you get a call, the thing’s got to come off your wrist and be held up to your ear unless you’ve got a Bluetooth headset ready to rock, but worry not: Neutrano’s also showing a model of its Nutec WristFone that pops off at the base of the wristband so you don’t need to unstrap it from your wrist. You pay for that convenience with some extra bulk (and we’d argue that this is the geekiest, ugliest model of the bunch), but we’ll admit, it’s pretty trick. Everything’s controlled over touchscreen; you’ve got character recognition for entering text messages and a row of shortcuts silkscreened across the bottom of the display, and the detachable model also features an integrated keypad (think Casio calculator watch) to make entering phone numbers a little less painful. Neutrano is targeting June for these at a price somewhere between $300 and $400, and the company’s president is still actively deciding on colors, band styles, and software features, so sound off in comments if you’ve got any hot ideas for ‘em. Oh, and check some video of the phones in action after the break!

Unless we’re mistaken, the last G-Pen device to come our direction courtesy of Genius was the M712 and M609, and at long last we’ve yet another to showcase. The G-Pen F-509 was designed for portable, in the car use, as it measures in at just 5.25- x 8.75-inches. Aside from sporting plenty of input real estate for that digital pen, it also features 26 programmable hot-keys for shortcuts of your choosing while the cordless pen touts a pair of buttons for controlling shapes and thickness. If the inner artist in you is just dying to wrap your arms around one, you can find it now for a buck oh nine.

At this rate, LG isn’t gonna have any secrets left about the Arena KM900 when it takes the stage for its Mobile World Congress press conference on Monday. The company’s released a few more snippets via its Korean site, chief among them being multitouch capabilities for image and web page zooming. Other details include a dedicated multimedia chip and designations for each of the four sides of the interface’s 3D cube: phone, widgets, shortcuts, and multimedia. One of our favorite lines, which is almost certainly made funnier by the machine translation, is that this UI is the culmination of 100 years of interface research. We’ll have more on the KM900 — assuming they don’t reveal everything before then — next week in Barcelona.
