Qix sorts through cell phone menus

A small Canadian company, showing at CTIA Wireless 2005, named Zi Corp is offering a way to simplify the maze of navigation on cell phones. [via the Associated Press].

"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.

Zi said Virgin Mobile of Britain is starting a trial with the new program."
