constructions etc., the E-TEN, having a TMC supporting navigation software running, is able to reroute
our track according to the jams. This TMC support means that the E-TEN owns a built-in FM radio (!).
The only lack is that this is not yet supported by the operating system. E-TEN promises the upgrade to
come out in May-June. The Mio is also prepared to TMC support, but its TMC chip is built in the
separately available, active car-holder.
6. Default software through the eyes of a beginner
In this category the E-TEN wins a lot above the Mio. It has its own made software to almost all
resources one would use. These usually operate Windows functions, but in a more user-friendly way and
there are also some additional functions as well. For example there’s a built-in Bluetooth Manager that
not only enables simple BT connections, but also functions e.g. as an FTP client. This way we can
connect our G500 to another PDA or a PC and transfer files in a File Manager type window. Due to the
Bluetooth driver’s lack, it can only transfer files (no folders) and them also just one-by-one, but still, this
is a really convenient way to connect to another device. We can also browse the other device’s memory,
storage! The E-TEN also has a cool Wireless Manager app that enables the turning on/off of the GSM and
Bluetooth modules either one-by-one or both at the same time. There’s also an SPB PocketPlus-type
Today plug-in showing eight icons at one time, but with large arrows, the icons can be shifted, and so, if
one wishes so, all programs and functions of the PDA can be accessed simply from this plug-in. What I
found very useful was the size of these icons: they all are huge, allowing the dismissal of the stylus; we
can simply use our fingers to launch the programs via these icons. When we push the M-Home/M-Desk
hardware button, we arrive at the special E-TEN menu with its own design (all the functions listed in here
are also accessible from Start/Programs). Here we can run all E-TEN programs (listed below), whereas
some more useful functions also have their icons on the Today screen’s bottom right corner.
The E-TEN, besides the above written ones, has the following built-in functions and software: speed
dial, call filter, MMS sender, sound profiles (such as in a Nokia or Siemens cell phone), a very thorough
camera app with many settings options, a PaintBrush-type image maker, Multimedia file utility, imaging
tool, voice commander and a backup utility.
Here I shall note that the E-TEN has an outstanding extra: when the phone’s red button is kept
pushed, it turns on/off the Flight mode (the GSM module)! This spares us using the stylus to touch the
antenna icon and then in the bubble the “Turn on/off flight mode.” I found this very useful. This, of
course, doesn’t turn the PDA functions off and no Sleep/Power off menu comes forward as when using
the Mio.
I like the E-TEN because it’s user-friendly, allowing in general the usage of our fingers, no need for
the stylus all the time. The E-TEN’s system information is shown in a File Explorer-type, folder-tree
structure.
Below are some snapshots from the E-TEN’s operating system.
