Alerts you can’t miss!
Your mobile phone is the natural home for calendar alerts. It’s always with you, can sound alerts and vibrate at the same time, and has easy access to maps to navigate between meetings and appointments. But what if you’re wearing headphones? Keep your phone in your bag rather than a pocket, or just happen to step away for a few minutes?
The Sony Ericsson LiveView alerts you to calendar events with a gentle vibrate and on-screen message, showing where you need to be next, and how long you’ve got to get there. Wear LiveView on your wrist, and it’s impossible to miss an alert. You can even step away from your phone, thanks to a wireless range of 10 metres.
Updates from specific friends
Only want to be told when certain friends get in touch? No problem. Dive into the LiveView’s Twitter and Facebook settings to link specific friends. Hey presto, LiveView will act as a digital PA, screening alerts from those you’re not too close with, and only asking for attention when those you really care about get in touch.
Save time surfing with RSS
Add your favourite sites’ RSS feeds to the LiveView application on your phone, and you’ll be alerted whenever they’re updated. You might want the latest announcements from a specific organisation’s blog, or travel alerts from rail operators to warn you of delays on the way home. Set up RSS feeds for the most important information sources, and you’ll have their updates pushed to you, exactly when you need them, straight to LiveView.
Email with extras
By default, Sony Ericsson LiveView avoids alerting you to every email you receive, limiting itself to the less spam-prone Twitter, Facebook and text messages. However, if you want email access on its micro screen, that’s dead easy. Since LiveView supports plugins to add extra features, you can add Gmail to its tiny screen, simply by installing the Gmail for LiveView extension from the Android Market.
Find a lost phone in an instant
Misplaced your mobile? Don’t spend hours upturning cushions and shaking out your suit pockets, just tap the select button with “Find phone” on the LiveView’s screen. Your mobile will bleep to alert you of its presence, and when you find it’s in the first place you should’ve looked, it won’t judge you or assume you’re forgetful. See it in action here too.
