Salling Software updates Sony Ericsson Clicker


Stockholm, Sweden—April 4 2003—Salling Software today announced the immediate availability of Sony Ericsson Clicker version 1.5, an update to Salling's revolutionary program that lets users remotely control almost any Macintosh application from compatible Sony Ericsson mobile phones.


"Within just a few days of its initial release in March, thousands of Macintosh users had downloaded Sony Ericsson Clicker with some of them already starting to contribute action scripts to the community, furthering the capabilities of the software," said Jonas Salling, software artisan and Salling Software's creative force. "Sony Ericsson Clicker's innovative marriage of Bluetooth and AppleScript allows users to extend and modify the built-in functionality. The updated version allows for much more elaborate user interfaces and easier ways of sharing and updating action scripts."

    • DVD Player: chapter menu, fast forward/rewind, and keypad mode;
    • Keynote: first slide, last slide, toggle black screen, and keypad mode;
    • PowerPoint: first slide, last slide, and keypad mode;
    • System: mouse cursor, Screen Saver
  • Built-in functionality to download new and upgraded action scripts;
  • Enhanced proximity sensor functionality;
  • "Visual" designer to allow users to easily create their own "keypad based" controls;
  • Easier installation of 3rd party action scripts by drag-and-drop; and
  • Support for simultaneous operation with Apple's Address Book
