That's one of the most comfortable, well worn-out couch I've ever sat on. It did smell a little funny though.

Completing the triumverate of legendary figures sitting on the couch recently is my current guest. Adding a touch of glamour and a dash of awe to the proceedings, my guest has very kindly taken time out from his hectic schedule to be with us on the couch. Hailed as the 'Father of Bluejacking' it is my great honour to welcome ajack.
What is the best thing about Esato?
ajack says:
A: Esato is the only site that brings together all Sony Ericsson users.
Who is your favourite member of Esato?
ajack says:
A: I think "little flame" is my most favourite member of esato. I make it a point to see "little flame" every time I am in Amsterdam. You'll need to guess who "little flame" is, I'm not telling...
Who is your favourite moderator?
ajack says:
A: Masseur and Tranquil... I can choose two, right?
What is your favourite Esato moment?
ajack says:
A: Telling the whole world what I did in the "I did something naughty" thread.
What is your your least favourite Esato moment?
ajack says:
A: Don't have one.
Many consider you to be the 'Father of Bluejacking', how do you feel about this?
ajack says:
A: Glad to be a geek icon... and the only words of wisdom I the "Father of Bluejacking" have for you is... "'BJ' is not an abbreviation for bluejacking but means something else." :mrgreen:
You helped create arguably the most influential application for the Pxxx series of smartphones, SMan, what was the inspiration behind it?
ajack says;
A: The SMan project was inspired by Ericsson's announcement of the P800 about three years ago. Droll and I who have done many coding projects together before SMan decided that the P800 was a good thing and decided that we would each buy a P800 when it came out and write programs for it. We wanted to make sure that the UIQ implementation by Sony Ericsson would be successful and decided to write programs for it that every user would want. We also wanted to make sure that everyone could have access to it and had decided then that this program should be free for all to use. The name SMan and the butt icon we had initially was our idea of a joke and how cool it would have been to name such an application with a name like SMan... There is just to much to tell about SMan and the story behind it.
What is next for SMan, can you give us a sneak preview?
ajack says:
A: Sorry, only a few people in Symbian, UIQ, Sony Ericsson and Motorola have seen early builds of SMan v1.4. Unlike previous builds, we have decided not to release information about upcoming versions because we had too much preassure and users asking us when the next build will be released that we have decided to do v1.4 in secret at our own pace and release it "without warning."
Recently SMan has been available for download from Handango, with users being asked to contribute a donation; is this a sign of SMan becoming more commerecialised and will SMan continue to be free?
ajack says:
A: SMan will always be free, the Handango donation item is to allow users who appreciate SMan to contribute back to us our time and efforts in developing SMan. The SDK may be free, but the compiler still costs money. We encourage users to contribute if they appreciate SMan but the program itself is free and our source codes is also made available with a very liberal licensing scheme.
Do you have any ideas for new applications?
ajack says:
A: Yes, a game is on the drawing board. Anything else will most probably be incorporated into SMan...
Which mobile are you currently using?
ajack says:
A: My P800, Sony Ericsson and Motorola have be kind enough to "permenently loan" other UIQ models they are having in their portfolio but I use the P800 at the moment.
Which mobile are you most looking forward to?
ajack says:
A: The next UIQ phone from Sony Ericsson
Do you have a message for Esato?
ajack says:
A: If you mean to the Esato site owners, "Esato Rulez" and if you meant to the users of Esato... "Only Trust A Sony Ericsson!"
My thanks to my guest, ajack, for a very interesting interview and for giving up his time for us. Please join me again soon for more chatter with another Esato favourite.

Great interview, that one!
I've just started using SMan on my P900, great programme - I like the 'cell info' part of the programme. Little suggestion for v.1.4 - how about expanding this area a bit more?
