1 AN INTUITIVE ACTIVITY MANAGER FOR TODAY S LIFESTYLE The combination of contacts and calendar creates a killer app... Best of all, the application is made to be finger friendly, which is especially cool if you own the Sony Ericsson W960i. - IntoMobile Designed for everyday users for everyday life in an increasingly busy world, DreamLife combines calendar and contacts to provide an easy and superior way to manage life s activities without the complexities. DreamLife presents many ground breaking and unique features in a visual and user friendly interface. It successfully brings the visual aspect seen only in desktop calendars to date and the convenience of a paper diary onto a smartphone. This breakthrough in calendar viewing provides rich planner views, giving users the ability to view activity details and identify time gaps and conflicts effortlessly. DreamLife pioneers context based activity editing with its 2-pane editor, resulting in more accurate planning and less confusion. DreamLife is the only and first activity manager in the industry to offer an integrated contact manager, hierarchical color folders, finger friendly navigation, gesture support and key matching amongst many other features. DreamLife replaces the standard contacts and calendar and becomes the benchmark for innovative and intuitive activity management.

2 KEY FEATURES HIGHLIGHT VISUAL PLANNER VIEWS To represent activities in a time based visual manner is not a novelty, but to achieve that in the limited screen space of a smartphone is a challenge. DreamLife s vibrant and rich week view is the industry s first successful attempt to replicate the convenience of a paper dairy and the visual benefits of desktop calendars on a smartphone. Combining a unique layout with visual elements such as colours, lines and icons, the planner view provides a superior overview of activities including appointments, todos, reminders, event categories and status in a snapshot without losing any details. This visual approach gives users the ability to identify activity conflicts, free time slots and overlapping events quickly and effortlessly. 2-PANE ACTIVITY EDITING Creating activities in a normal edit view is like walking in the dark. DreamLife s innovative 2-pane editor takes the guess work out of planning your day. For the first time, smartphone users can plan in context. Seeing what s in the day while editing the activity allows users to quickly locate the right time spot and see how activities fit together. This results in more accurate and effective planning. No more confusion and time lost in dealing with duplicate activities or rescheduling conflicting and overlapping activities. Users no longer need to switch back and forth between calendar views while planning. FULL INTEGRATION WITH CONTACTS Activities are intimately involved with people, often more than one, so it makes sense to not only have full access to your contact details from your calendar but also the ability to organise and manage them. Incorporating the powerful and award-winning contact manager DreamConnect 3, users can view, create, edit, search, organise, link to activities, call, and manage their contacts within DreamLife easily, with the added benefit of always having the most up-to-date contact details reflected in the activities. The improved contact manager is now finger and gesture friendly. With the new direct touch manipulation, users can simply select the contact method using their finger or thumb, swiping it either to the left or right to go through the various options of the contact in the list view. A tap on the left softkey will then make contact. All the commonly used commands are within the touch of a finger on the list view s toolbar to further reduce key presses. There is no need to pull out the stylus anymore.

3 OTHER FRIENDLY FEATURES HIERARCHICAL FOLDERS Displaying color coded folders and activities is one thing, organising them is another. DreamLife s hierarchical color folders is another breakthrough that brings what, until now, has only been possible on desktop calendars to smartphones. It gives users the ability to organise activities and contacts in multilevel sub-categories. Users can assign colors and even specific alarm sounds to each activity folder, making them easily recognisable. DreamLife's folders contain all activities or contacts assigned to them and to any sub-folders. The rich planner views show color coded activities in the colors of the folders they belong to. Activities can belong to multiple folders, but only the higher level and first saved folder color will be displayed as the activity s color. DYNAMIC GROUP MESSAGING Group messaging is not a new thing. But allowing users the flexibility to instantly select contacts based on current conditions is unheard of in the smartphone world. DreamSpring tackles the rigid and time consuming group messaging process with a new concept. The result is a breakthrough in group messaging that allows users to send context based SMS, MMS or messages to a savable group of contacts. This flexible approach gives users the ability to add and remove group members or change message type and context quickly and easily. This streamlines the process of message sending, especially when combined with DreamConnect 3's powerful search and selection functions. SMART FIND An advanced and sophisticated search tool that allows users to customise and combine search rules to locate information anywhere within their contacts database. Users can perform specific searches on all text and numbers by using an unlimited number of search rules. What really brings out the power of smart find is when it is used in combination with other functions. This is achieved by placing the results of any search in the normal list view, allowing any tool to be applied to the search results. Search even interacts properly with hierarchical folders. The speed, accuracy and application of your search is now limited only by your imagination. For more features of DreamLife, visit dreamlife/index.php
