What do you use your Mobile phone for?

Ofcourse apart from making calls & playing games.The handset vendors pushing more & more powerful hardware into your hands, what are you using it for? Coming to list of killer Apps on the phones, a browser with GPRS will cover a host of websets that you access on your phone,then comes the office docs/calendar/email integration, oh yeah the IMs(innovative? SMS apps to a
id instead of ph no...) are the hottest software for the PDA from quite some time and there are zillions of variations being added to these as you read. These cannot be a killer apps forever. Andriod may bring a new different breed of software but we will have to wait a while for that. What now? We already have a handset..

Are you ready for lyteMobile..? Presenting the killer app for Mobile - lyteMobile.

Its a free midlet with which you can use build applications that YOU need on your Mobile. You build table and forms to access them within minutes with zero coding. You can add, browse & edit records of a table, send records via SMS. True! You can build & use your own application on your mobile all you need is only the lyteMobile midlet. So what...

Imagine you need an application to track your expenses on your Mobile see a how to make one here. You might want another application to track the hits on your website, yes you can build that in minutes using lyteMobile.You can sync your data on lyteMobile with a desktop application, using lyteRAD.

lyteMobile is free and can be downloaded from here.

It works on all the midlet managers that support file access API(jsr75).lyteMobile midlet needs blanket permissions to read and write into files which many of the midlet managers provide on most of the PDAs. On the phones that do not give blanket permission to midlets there is a series of questions asked while accessing the files which is annoying. Permission questions are good, but there should be a way to skip them when you trust a midlet. J2ME specification currently forces any application vendor to spend a fortune for this(Java Verified Program, trusted midlets, code signing ...).It is this flawed approach of J2ME which is limiting itself.

BTW I am using lyteMobile on windows Mobile smart phone with Esmertecs' jbed midlet manager and works like a dream.
