Hints are provided, but they cost you points.

Do you have an electronic address book somewhere, or possibly in multiple places?  A few hundred contacts in Microsoft Outlook, or a collection at Yahoo Mail? Or perhaps you have a smartphone and have imported everything into GMail or Apple Mail? Contacts, a new app for Kindle, will let you quickly transfer all those contacts to your Kindle. And then, as fast as you can type, it will search and show you the matching contacts on the Kindle’s wonderful E Ink display. (Click here for import instructions.)

Contacts lets you update and enter new information directly on the Kindle and also export the data so you can load it into any other address book that supports the popular vCard format. It will let you store and edit the following fields:

Search for "car"

Search results update as you type each letter

  • name
  • multiple addresses
  • multiple phone numbers
  • multiple emails
  • multiple organization and titles
  • nickname
  • a lengthy notes field

All these fields are instantly searchable as you type. The super flexible search makes the notes field particularly useful. The search is also great for answering the “What was his name again?” questions as you can search by other fields like address or the area code of the phone number.

Whether you have a set of contacts already or would like to start collecting them on your Kindle, Contacts is a great solution.

Full disclosure: the publisher of this website, A Gamz, is also the publisher of Contacts.

The Kindle now has a To-Do List manager! Task List Professional from Jujuba Software joins the growing number of productivity apps available at the bargain price of 99 cents!

Task List Professional is simple to use. When you first run it, you will be shown the help pages, and then the “main page” which is a list of your tasks. From there you can start typing to create a new task, or use the 5-Way controller to move to a specific task and then select it to view the details or modify them.

Each task has a:

  • title
  • due date
  • priority
  • description
  • completed checkbox
In the summary “main page” you can sort by Name, Due Date, Priority and Status. You can also Search for a task containing a word.  There are various shortcut keys to speed navigation, and abbreviated help for each page.
You can also copy tasks from your Kindle to your computer by plugging it in via USB and following their instructions. Very nice for backing up or creating or modifying tasks on your computer.

The King of Shreds and Patches is the latest interactive fiction title Active Content App released for the Kindle. According to a blog post by its author, this is the latest and improved version of an adaptation that is also available for various computers.

We haven’t had a chance to play it yet, as by its very nature it will take an estimated 12-15 hours to play, but it looks like another fantastic take on the world of interactive fiction and will add to the several titles already available for Kindle.  See our other reviews of Deathtrap Dungeon, Inheritance and Affairs of the Court for more interactive fiction fun for Kindle.

 

Cluemaster releases two number puzzle apps for Kindle

On September 1, Cluemaster released two new number puzzle apps for Kindle: Cluemaster Mini Sudoku Volume 1 and Cluemaster Jigsaw Volume 1. Both applications are variations of the popular game  Sudoku.

Mini Sudoku is essentially the same thing as ordinary Sudoku, just on a smaller scale. As the description says “Mini Sudoku is regular Sudoku played on a smaller grid; but that doesn’t mean that they’re all easy!”

Regular Sudoku is played on a 9×9 grid broken up into 3×3 boxes, but Mini Soduku is played on a 6×6 grid broken up into 2×3 boxes. Only numbers 1 through 6 are used, but all other regular Sudoku rules apply.

Jigsaw is a similar concept as standard Sudoku, just set up a little differently. Rather than having the cells broken up into 3×3 boxes, the cells are broken up into irregular shapes, making the game a little more difficult.

Both games include 100 puzzles broken up into 4 different difficulties: Gentle, Moderate, Tough, and Diabolical. They also come equipped with a Pencil Marks feature, which allows you to make notes in each cell, as well as an Auto Pencil feature which automatically enters notes for you. In addition, both have an Auto Check tool that highlights incorrect guesses as you play.

You can find them in the Amazon Kindle Store for $1.99 each!
