Summary
Zi Corp has a mission. While other companies are striving to add more features into cell phones, making them confusing and cumbersome, Zi Corp is working towards simplifying cell phone navigation. Their system involves typing in the first letters of an application or item on the phone, eliminating the need for confusing menus. Kodak has also taken the initiative, and is working to make their technology easier to use.

- Booth after booth at the CTIA Wireless 2005 show, which opened here Monday, is devoted to cell- phone pictures, music, e-mail, instant messaging, calendars, contacts, TV and video games.
- Nestled amid all those multimedia displays is a small Canadian company named Zi Corp. that offers a way to simplify the maze of navigation on a tiny device.
- Zi's new program "Qix" (pronounced quicks) creates an index of everything on the phone, including address book entries, Web bookmarks and applications such as a specific video game from one of dozens of mobile content providers featured on today's phones.
- To access the index, you use the phone's keypad to type in the first few letters of a particular application or a contact name or phone number.
- For example, when the "9/WXYZ" key is pressed followed by the "3/DEF" key, Qix will produce a list of contacts, individuals or companies, whose names or numbers begin with these combinations.
- Another company using this week's wireless show to push cellular simplicity is Eastman Kodak Co., whose top executive delivered a keynote during Monday's opening.
- Kodak hopes to make it easier for camera phone users to print their photos - with Kodak printers on Kodak paper - rather than just sharing them as a digital attachment via wireless messaging, especially now that picture resolution is improving to a level comparable to stand-alone digital cameras.
- People want to hold and touch and archive their pictures."
- To that end, Kodak was demonstrating a cell-phone attachment for its EasyShare Printer Dock Plus, which is designed to print digital pictures directly from a Kodak camera.
- The attachment, essentially a cell-phone cradle, was designed to connect directly with the data port on a Nokia handset.
