 New Software Everyone.net Business Mail (www.everyone.net) offers an email solution for Treo users who want to sync emails while on the road. Instant Push Email (www.emailtreo.com) pushes email messages to the Treo as soon as they arrive and then alerts the user with a customizable notification. Users receive an @emailtreo.com address and can continue working on the Treo as the push technology downloads emails in the background. The service contains spam and virus protection, and syncs emails, folders, and email rules between the user’s laptop, desktop, Web mail, and Treo. Instant Push Email costs $19.99 per year, and a free trial is available. FotoNation Face Tracker (www.fotonation.com) for camera phones captures human faces in the camera phone’s preview screen and tracks the face appearing within a drawn box. As Face Tracker tracks the frame before capturing the image, the application automatically adjusts focus, exposure, and white balance. The process technology improves the accuracy of the skin tones and optimally focuses on faces in the captured image. FotoNation Face Tracker fine-tunes itself as needed to work with camera phones that have limited processing speed. Keep an eye out for this useful application the next time you’re shopping for a new camera phone.
