The users of the Kaiser forum are hereby invited to early testing of Finger-Friendly Friends and the (soon to be) famous DRMWY-Touch keyboard.

Have fun!

Wow...I just tried this and it has what I missing in using PocketCM. So easy to search to contacts now! I definitely recommend using this program and I will be following the development closely!

Has anyone tested the "Send Position" on this software as illustrated in the screenshot? If so does it work, and how, maybe this could be the breakthrough for GPS.

This is an AWESOME program and the GPS stuff works. I emailed it to my dad using my keychain Holux M-1200. It sends my coordinates as well as a link to a map of where I'm at. So cool. The only problem is it sends out to my Outlook mail which I don't want it to but haven't figured out to change.

The Cons:
- I like the PocketCM all list scroll. However, if that is what causes the slowdown in CM then its fine to not keep it but I do like having an entire list. If they set it up so we can chose options then I would love to see one to open it up like PocketCM finger scroll too.

- Once selecting a contact when the options show up the viewing is 'limited.' By that I mean if their email is even remotely not short it's getting cut off. Would be nice if the length of the string is over X then it will scroll/pan over that length.

- GPS is nice. However, it would be good to have an options screen so that if I send GPS or anything via email I can tell it which email to send through instead of defaulting to Outlook. (Been trying to figure this out.)

- The ability to click 'View Entry' and or 'Edit Entry' like in PocketCM so that it opens the entry in the original contacts.

Most of my cons come from the features that PocketCM have and the Pluses will come from what PocketCM hasn't like loading speed and the GPS sending. Also the fact that pocketCM doesn't allow for internal closing.
