Electric Pocket Launches PhotoDial for Treo 650 Smartphones and Bluetooth PDAs

Kevin wrote in today to let me know that Electric Pocket is introducing a new application for Treo 650s and Bluetooth-enabled PDAs that allows you to put photos of your most-called contacts in your Applications Launcher and speed-dial them by simply tapping on their photo. PhotoDial is available starting today for US$9.95 at www.electricpocket.com.

Snippet from the press release:
PhotoDial works by enabling users to add photos or icons to a PhotoDial group in the Applications menu—the central activity hub of Palm OS handhelds. The application enables users to browse the list of contacts in their handhelds’ Address Book and select the people they call most frequently. Users can pick any photo or graphic image to represent the contact, or they can take a picture with the device’s camera.
Contacts are created and grouped together in the PhotoDial group for easy, one-tap access by the user. Once the PhotoDial group is set up, it is simply a matter of tapping once on the photo of the person the user wants to call in order to begin dialing the number. Users can even use their handhelds’ Preferences option to assign a caller to one of their devices’ “hard buttons,” including the Treo side-button.
