Remember when Resco Explorer 2008 launched a few months back? One of the most popular file explorers for Windows Mobile got a… well, “facelift” is an understatement. It was a complete interface redesign, and I thought it looked great and lived up pretty well to the touch-friendly hype.

So, sometime after the product launch, I imagine this (completely invented) conversation taking place in Resco HQ:

Resco Guy 1: Wow, people are really liking our new Explorer interface  that is actually usable without a stylus and looks nice, too.

Resco Guy 2: Yeah, we should make another application like that.

Resco Guy 1: We’ve already given the touch treatment to everything else we make. We’re out of applications!

Resco Guy 2: Hmmm… Aha! How about a contact manager?

Resco Guy 1: Great idea! We’ll put up a “Coming Soon” product page and ask people for feature suggestions in the forums.

Resco Guy 2: Sure, but we definitely should include threaded SMS.

And that’s the story so far. Resco hasn’t announced a timetable for release, but judging by what they are saying, my guess is that Contact Manager will be going into beta sometime in the reasonably near future.
